NE6 Save a piano sound to synth?

Post by mikaellewis »

Hello,

I'm brand new to the forum so please forgive me if this is covered elsewhere. I'm still learning.

Is there a way to save a piano sound to the synth section on an electro 6? I want to be able to play a straight piano sound in my right hand and a wah clav sound in my left hand (example: Cripple Creek by The Band).

I understand that you cannot run 2 different piano sounds with split keyboard, so I'm wondering if I can save a clav sound to the synth section and then split between piano and synth to get the desired outcome. Is this possible?

Thank you,

Mikael

Hi,

no you cannot save a piano sound to the synth section, but you can download a piano or clavinet sample from the Nord library and load this into the synth section. These can be found here: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... -30/pianos

Not the extended features like velocity layers and others from the piano section but maybe good enough for what you need?

Hi and welcome! As Schorsch mentioned this is not possible. If you can not find a sample that you like on their website you could also resample. That means to record your favourite piano sound, save as wav and load to sample editor inorder to create a new sample. The quality will not be the same as velocity layers of the original sound wil be lost but it's worth trying IMO.
