Electro 5 Sample Updates

Post by bobpeters88 »

Greetings all, newbie here. Apologies if this has been covered previously but I've had a look around and can't find a specific post.

I bought my 5HP several years ago and have only just got around to updating my piano samples. This was easy enough to do as I only needed a couple of grands (White and Silver), and one each of upright, Rhodes, Wurly and a couple of others. I cleared out my old samples, loaded the new and then edited my piano programs to take the new samples. All well and good and sitting in bank 1.

Now, I want to do the same with the synth samples so that predominantly I end up with better strings, brass and synth pads. However I can't get my head around how to do it, bearing in mind that the programs these use are all over the place.

Are there a new set of samples available to replace the existing ones and do they come with associated programs? Or can I download suitable packs? Which ones do you recommend? Do they come with associated programs? If so how do I store them in banks of my own choice?

I also need to do this for my 5D for predominantly synth lead sounds and orchestral sounds. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Most Nord samples from the library aren't accompanied by programs. But if you created some free space on your Electro 5, you can download new samples and have them replace others in existing programs at the same time.

First thing you need to do is get an overview of which sample is in use and which isn't.
Stage-3-C (Rev.B 2.1) - Kawai VPC1 / Viscount Legend 70s / Yamaha CP33 - Hall of Fame & NeoVent2 - Behringer Flow-8 - K&M stands 18820+18811 / 18953+18952 - Samsung Tab S5e, MobileSheetsPro & AirTurn Duo200 - QSC K8.2s / Fischer InEars
