Is it possible to layer 2 or more samples on the Nord Wave 2?

You can layer 4 layers and all those can have a sample on them. So yes, you can layer samples :)

The description says "The Oscillator section for each of the 4 layers offers 4 modes: Analog, Wavetable, FM and Samples" - so apparently, yes.

According to the NAMM videos, yes.

I was wondering if a work around for those who wanted more than one LFO could be to put the same source in two or more layers and have different LFO settings for each layer to achieve the same effects. Does that sound like it could work?

Unfortunately what your suggesting doesn't accomplish what two LFO's does.

With two LFO's the 2nd LFO interacts with the 1st LFO creating compound modulation effects.

Correct, actually it could work the same only if modulating the OSC amplitude, but not if modulating the OSC pitch (frequency) which is the most common case (or other parameters)

I have to say, I'm excited about the Wave 2. there's a reason behind that. Although I announced that the organ project's stuffed, it might not be. If the Wave 2 would support what I want it to do, I wonder if each layer would respond to a particular midi channel, say as an example channel 4 (layer 4 would respond to a pedal setup (32 note RC pedalboard)? if so, that really does get exciting. For me as a sound developer (getting back in to the swing of it) the wave 2 would really open up some new avenues for me and I've got to say, I can't wait to take one on.

My Stage 3 and Grand have their own setups and it would be nice to have the wave 2 as a developer for soundware, but also as a performance tool.

as a side question and please forgive this, if there's any electro 6D owners, Do you think it's worth me investing in one on a sound development basis?
