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.

Re: Extracting WAVs from NSMP ?
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.maxpiano wrote: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.
(I sample analog synths a lot. But sampling a sample player seems a bit silly somehow)

Re: Extracting WAVs from NSMP ?
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 welltrumelpuut wrote:Yes of course.
