possibility for more complex layers/splits on NE 5 ?
Since years my main keyboard on stage had been a Motif XS7.
The essential reasons for me to buy an NE5 HP73 were the more realistic piano and organ sounds and not least the noticeable lighter weight for an HP-keybed!
So far me and my back are very happy with this decision but there is serious drawback compared with my Motif: the limited split/layer possibilities, especially that it is impossible to combine different synth samples.
Sadly some of our best songs with complexe multilayers/multisplits I could not play acceptable on the Electro (the alternative Nord stage was to expensive for me)
But no i found a satisfying way for me to handle this deficit:
For these special songs I built samples with Cubase and the Nord sample editor from performances of my Motif XS (Multilayers/Multisplits) and load them on my NE5.
Certainly a time consuming procedure but for me it works well and I am very content with the result.
So that I can play these Mutilayer/Multisplit-Songs without notable reduction in quality - carrying only my 11kg light red keyboard to the gigs and mostly let the good old but 18 kg heavy Motif at home.
Here an example:
Africa Splitsound for the Intro (Brass-Sound + Vibes-layer)
The special adjustments I use for the sample:
reverb stage:4 - compressor:4 - equalizer (Bass +3/Midfreq 990/Mid Gain 4/Treble-4) - dynamics 1
For NE5-owners here the program
Notice: Excuse my low experience with sampling (for example I can’t handle loops till now)

Great! - thanks for sharing in your very first post to the forum! I use to have a MOX6 and I miss some of the good MOTIF sounds, but the Electro5-61 is perfect to take on rehersals.

Thanks so much for creating this sample. I used it along with analog brass and marimbas to create Africa for the Stage 3 at nord-stage-3-programs-ns3p-ns3pb-files- ... 19357.html

Hello and welcome! The sample editor is a great tool that allows you to create multisamples, as you have already found out yourself! I use a similar method for my E4 that has no layers and splits at all and for some songs that comes very handy!
