Nord Sample Editor

[jazzundso]

Hi everyone,

I'm the new one, so I hope I post in the right board etc...

I used SampleRobot to create some WAV files which I would like to import to the Nord Sample Editor. The files are named like dxpad-036 (C2) ... dxpad-096 (C7). If I add these files into the Sample Editor and run "Map root key from file name" (by Number) I get the following result:



Can anybody explain WHY the Sample Editor mapped the samples this way? dxpad-036.wav was mapped to Bb3... for the octaves there may be several standards to count them, but I don't understand why the editor translates C2 to Bb3...!?

The second thing: dxpad-84 is the last one which has been assigned, the top octave is missing. Maybe because it reached the upper range limit. But what is the solution to easily import samples and map them correctly?

I also thought about write a little script which renames the files suitable, but first I have to unterstand why the editor react like that.

Would be happy if someone could help

I've not tried to do this but as a semi-educated guess, I would remove the leading '0' from the number in your filenames.

Thanks for you reply!

That's a good idea, I've already tried that but same result

You know you can do this with one file? Play each note you want sampled in turn (leaving a gap between each). Then use the "Multi Sample per file assign" option. You could sample every note or every X semitone, then sample manager will map it automatically. I think this the method used by most.

I think this the method used by most.

Really? Hmm, I could try that... but then I have to merge my WAV files with a gap between so I'd prefer to add the single WAVs and I think that should be possible like I tried to to... but no clue why the editor doesn't map the samples correctly....
