Artie99 is the patch creator of the Uptown Funk Sample I have...Wonder if he still has it on the Nord Editor? It for me is a lot of work to make a new wave file of the Doe Doe's...There is one way around getting the half step lower key for the sample that I'm doing for now...I've been using my pitch stick and -1 semi note to put the song part in the right key! Lol Still like to lower some samples without having to use the pitch stick though because it leave my left hand open to play more parts! Would be a nice add on this NS3C to have aknob that can pitch samples in different keys!! Hint Clavia! Lol

Hi, same problem here.
I re-sampled an existing Uptown Funk sample in the Sample Editor and shifted some sounds, so the "dohs" can be lowered 2 semitones.
I uploaded my stuff under "Uptown Funk - 2 semi.
Hope it works...

Did this work? Is it available somewhere? A quick search didn't locate it for me.

I had to do this, as my band plays everything a half step down. It was relatively easy using a program I called Transcribe:

https://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/download.html

Very reasonable price, free updates for life.

I loaded the Uptown Funk mp3 into transcribe and lowered the pitch a semitone. Then, exported the transposed mp3. Next, pulled the sample from the transposed mp3 and loaded it into the keyboard.

You can assign it to any key, but it will now be in C#.

Just for info, you can do that also with Audacity (free app), using the Effects -> Change Pitch feature.

Since I use two keyboards, the NS3 program would not be complete. I can post the nsmp sample transposed down if you like, just let me know-

I have one at -2 (lowered to key of C), if anyone wants it. Likewise, not complete, but it's got the key things I needed.
