Stage 3 - where do I find the percussion and drum samples?

Post by bernardg »

Hello - a basic question... I now want to see if I can find some percussion and drum sounds in the Nord... but the synth section baffles me.... At present I'm using it for getting great bass guitar sounds into my DAW as midi - brilliant - But now I want to see if there are some percussion sounds, like conga, bongo. But I can't see how I would look for them. Do they exist and if so how do i find them? And how can I find drum kit sounds?
Cheers
Bernard.

Hi, you may find some here, not sure if Conga and / or Bongo is included but worth to check I think:

Do you mean getting great bass guitar sounds into your DAW as audio? Or you're controlling your bass guitar VST using the Stage as a midi controller (in which case it's the VST that sounds great)? If you're mostly working with a DAW, I would explore using VST percussion there, rather than playing percussion samples loaded on the Stage. There you have a lot more production capability, and you can find high quality, multi velocity layer percussion instruments.
