What a terrific sound! Thanks for sharing the bell sample and your EQ settings. This will become one of my go-tos.

Yes and thanks from me also, you are very kind. I still haven’t created one sample for my Nord. That is my next skill to aquire. I am always looking for the next analog synth, they are more my comfort zone!

The sample on it's own is a bit noisy but if you have it a bit lower it's not too bad. You can change the octave of the sample for a different sound.

Just got my Electro 6D 73 today and really want to create this patch.

Question: the "bell_ep1.nsmp" sample; will a NSMP sample load into my Electro 6? Do i just use the Sound Manager to load this?
I see there's another sample format NSMP3 is this a newer type of sample?

Mike

The NE6 uses nsmp3 formats natively so if the sample is available as nsmp3 just use that instead as it may contain additional settings that your board can use (default dynamics and envelope e.g.).

However, the nord sound manager converts nsmp format on-the-fly if you download a nsmp to your NE6, so if the sample is not available as nsmp3 you can still use it in nsmp format.

Well, like you said the newer version of sound manager updates NSMP to NSMP3 for you.

Thanks
