Hi there John,

I wanted to double check, please, which exact package I require for the Nord Electro 6D? There appears to be two (at the foot of the linked page).

The level of customer service by Keyboard Waves is utterly shocking! I have been emailing them for over one month and they continually fail to respond! You can see my responses on the boards.

Cheers,

Paul
That page linked by JohnT is for the .nsmp v3 which is the format for NE6 (see also text at the top of that page), so that is the package you should want to get (the rightmost of your picture, which is the only one you find in the page linked by JohnT, below the direct link)

https://www.keyboardwaves.com/product/d ... brary-3-0/

Please note that what you get in that package is Disco Strings resampled from the SPDIF output of Motif XF. The Files were edited and looped (4 secs) with Nord Sample Editor.

Hi there Max,

OK, many thanks for the link and confirmation. :thumbup:

Yes, I read in the description that the tones are "resampled from the SPDIF output of Motif XF." For the song 'Good Times', the 'Disco Strings' are superior to the sample I created from the original recording. And $20.00 is a fair price.

Schorsch wrote:Hi Paul,

the difference is just in the format of the sample files. The left of the two Nord offerings provides the original .nsmp format, the right one (for sample library 3) the newer .nsmp3 format. You can use both since Nord Sound Manager converts the original format into the .nsmp3 format when uploading them to your Electro 6, but the one for sample library 3 is the direct fitting one
Hi Schorsch,

I hope you are well.

I can see your point now, thank you.

I'll go with the 'sample library 3' format then.

It's a shame, and quite astonishing, how poor their customer-support is.

Cheers.

how about this sound:

Seems to be pretty close to what you are looking for.

Cheers Eriknie,

It's quite good, yes; but I feel the 'Disco Strings' has a bit more guts to it.

Many thanks.

If someone has a Motif and the sound. Just send me the raw sounds (no effect/reverb) and I will loop them (better than the Nord Sample editor, see my other post using a different looped and got those loop points in the NSE) and freely distribute them here.

- Sample them as WAV (stereo if the original samples are stereo) every 3th note. I will decide if this is really needed, but for effects samples with the glide I assume this is needed. For around 5 seconds at max volume

- If the none-glide sample is also needed, make sure to sample them at a fixed level (like 110) just when the glide is not started. I assume the glide will come on at almost max velocity. Every 3th note (c-d#-f#-a-c...) for 5 to 10 seconds. You could set the fixed velocity in the Motif, or use a DAW with midi pattern to sample it.

Make sure no effects are applied and even write down the settings for re-creating them. And also set the ADSR with A=0 and R=0

Cheers Eriknie,

Wow, that's really very kind of you, thanks so much. :thumbup:

I would be very interested to hear what you might come up with.

Best regards,

Hope that someone can help me with the raw samples.

I always liked the brass samples from Motif, if someone could also give me a set of raw values on the best brass samples (for a generic brass section in all kinds of pop/disco songs) i can also make a sample set out of this. And share it in this forum.
Also without effects every 3th note in the range that you typically play.

Let me check when I’m back from holidays. I sampled a couple of brass sounds from my Motif XF before I sold it and should still have the raw wave files available. I also made Nord samples out of them, just check the Nord User Sounds webpage and look for my samples there, most of the names should start with XF …

Hi Eriknie,

That would be really great if you could kindly produce some Brass samples also. I'm desperately in need of expanding my library in this regard.

Cheers,
