Extracting WAVs from NSMP ?

Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

Extracting WAVs from NSMP ?

Post by trumelpuut »

Hi.
Does anyone know a way to extract WAVs from NSMPs ? Or any way to get usable sample data from the Nord Wave's memory?
Nord Sample Editor doesn't seem to do that - but maybe I missed something ?
Thanks.

You can't extract original waves (i.e. reverse engineer) a .nsmp, you can only play it on a Nord keyboard and resample it from there.

Yes of course. I was just hoping for a way of bypassing the extra step.
(I sample analog synths a lot. But sampling a sample player seems a bit silly somehow)

NSMP format (besides being compiled/compressed) is also aimed at protecting the author, regardless if it is Nord or 3rd party or a user, some other brands protect their sample libraries as well ;-)

Sure. I understand. And am not surprised. (But still...)
