Thanks for the "We will Rock You" Sound. But I have a technical question related to splitted sounds...

Is it possible to separate the two sounds "BD" and "Snare+Claps" to have them on independend keys? I ask because "in live" our drummer not always keeps the speed 169

How many split zone are possible?

And what software do I use to build samples like this and convert them at the end to a NORD conform format? Is there already a manual in the forum ?

I have to tell you I only have a Nord Electro 6!

YES

>>How many split zone are possible?
With a sample every key can have a different sound, so you can set up your sample according to how you want to use it on your Electro 6.

At this link you can download the Nord Sample Editor 4 application and read their online guide: website https://www.nordkeyboards.com/software- ... e-editor-4

To create the separate sounds you need,
- open the NSE4 software,
- either a) load the original clip (saved as a WAV file) into NSE4 (drag-n-drop directly to a key also works well in this case), or b) record the sound directly into your laptop from your Electro 6,
- copy the clip to the keys you want,
- modify the start and stop time of the clip used for each key to have one key cover just the "BD" and the other cover the "Snare+Claps",
- set the keyboard range you want for each sound and set the key samples as "unpitched". For example, if you assigned BD to key C3 and the Snare+Claps to D3, the actual range of the BD sound can be all notes below C3 and C#3, and the range for the Snare+Claps could be D3 and above. "Unpitched" is needed otherwise the sound on will be interpolated and sound like a recording being slowed down or sped up depending on whether below or above the root key used.

As there's more to creating a sample than just the basic steps above, I'd suggest reading the online guide first to help fill in the blanks. I hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks a lot.. I will try it immediately.
