NW2 Sample Library

Postby DJKeys » 27 Jun 2020, 19:10

I have a question about the way the NW Samp Lib is organized. Not sure anyone will have an answer, but any input appreciated.

They have many different banks, strings, choir, brass, etc. The factory samples appear to be some of the same 3.0 samples used by other instruments such as the NS3. When I create my own sample with the version 3 Sample Editor, it gets uploaded to the User bank. If I have a choir sample from the NS3, I can only load it into the Misc bank, not into the existing choir bank, which seems odd to me.

My question is, why so many dedicated and exclusive banks? There are enough slots (100) in each and plenty of room, but are the factory samples specific to the NW2 for some reason? It seems that an nsmp3 sample should be able to be loaded in any of the banks. It would make sample organization easier if I could load a sample in any bank, or at least change the order of the banks.

I haven’t tried it yet. But within the Nord Sample editor there is an option to select a category. Isn’t that the place to select the category you want it to be in?
I will have a look tonight.

*update*
I just checked.
When you select the category in the Nord sample editor, it will put the sample in that category, for example: choir. If the category is set to 'User' it will put the sample in ' Misc'.

Thanks!

OK, I didn't even notice that there was a category selection, will check that out now.

So, if I have and existing sample and load it into the NSE first, I can put it anywhere I want, that is what I was after!

If you have the project files (.nsmpproj), having created the sample yourself, for instance, you can do this, yes.

But you cannot open a sample you've downloaded from e.g. Nord's pages and edit/change that, since you only have the resulting "output" file (.nsmp3) and not the project files.

I think this is on purpose, to protect the samples from being copied or reused in other contexts.

Right, the NSE only accepts .wav files and projects. .nsmp files cannot be loaded, so that is ok. Makes sense now-
