My Extras are: Brass, Drums, Electronic, Ethnic, Guitar, Nature, Percussion
I'm missing : User, Harpsi

If I map

Brass => Accoustic ?
Guitar => plucked
Drums, Electronic, Percussion, Nature => FX
and we rename user > mixed/song

and add Harpsi

We will end up with exactly the same categories as Nord Stage 3, but there are alot of categories in Stage 3 , so it will be better, but still too many perhaps?
I cant believe they dont have brass.

Update

Koloman (todo)
1. I would like not to see some of my contributions in the "User Collection", because some of them were hints to other users where they find e.g. good vocals. The "transfer functionality" made from this list of samples a number of entries. Makes it sense to introduce a delete funcion (used only by the owner of an entry)? [CAN DO, but there is a remove function already (soft-delete) when you edit your sound]
3. We will get a very huge list of TAGS. I know from Googles blogger a tagging system which shows You while entering a Tag all similar tags and You can use one of these. I am shure there are many other ideas to limit the number of tags in the system. [MIGHT DO i can enable auto suggest, not concerned about size of Tags list though]
4. Maybe it is easy to implement to switch off a MP3 if another MP3 is clicked. [WILL TRY]
DONE
1. If I filter on "Stage 2" type and then select the first sound, the filter automatically is reseted (even before clicking on the "Close" button) [DONE]
2. The login/logout is confusing : when accessing the site, it shows "Logout" and if I click, then I have the page to login :) And before login in, if I close the tab (with the login info) and open a new one, then I have the "Login" option on the top right :) [DONE]
3. I would add somewhere an option to "unfilter all" as this is not possible now [DONE, new icon action top-right]
5. Seems the tag information is not saved in admin mode when editing sound ? [WORKS but change not visible without refresh]
6. I would change the order of the "type" sound so we have the most numerous ones on top ("Lead" has none and is #2 on the list and you have to scroll to get to ns2p="Stage 2"). Given the # of sounds per type, I would order it : sample, ns2, ns3, ns1, electro and lead [DONE]
7. I find there are too many categories that make the filtering too complex therefore not usable. I would drastically lower the # of categories, suggesting the same as the ones used in NSM [DONE ?]
2. (Koloman) For the type Stage 1/2/3 (program) it is often hard to define a category, because the program consists e.g. of base, piano and brass. A category "SONG" or similar would maybe solve this? [DONE ?]
4. I would make the primary page the "All sound page" and add an "help" link to the current first page. This page may also be reshaped to add more info on the NS site itself, keeping info on the NUF site. May also have the "All Sounds" as the first link as this is the most important, followed by Add new, Help and Login ? [sort of DONE , but I want to keep the home page publically accessible with copy for SEO purposes]


What order do we want the new categories to be in?

Fantastic !
Very clever unselect icon ! Also smart for the mp3 toggle on/off/all !
And thanks for fixing the Login/logout status !

Having filters on nsmp, ns2p, ns3p first is great as those are the ones I believe most users will look for.

I agree with Koloman to have the availability to delete (or hide) an item as I also find some of my patches not that relevant to share :)

I'll play around again next week but all those enhancements make the site extremely easy to navigate. Great job !

The Hide/Remove (not delete) is already available in Edit My Patch above the Update button (as a toggle switch). You can also hide specific files/mp3s if they are not required, incorrect.

I have fixed the MP3 play/pause so that only 1 mp3 can be played at one time. WIll publish this update in 15 mins.
3. We will get a very huge list of TAGS. I know from Googles blogger a tagging system which shows You while entering a Tag all similar tags and You can use one of these. I am shure there are many other ideas to limit the number of tags in the system. [MIGHT DO i can enable auto suggest, not concerned about size of Tags list though]
I'll add the auto-suggest stuff!
Do we need a filter on the average rating?
Do we want to be able to add user comments when viewing a patch ?

I think user comments would be useful, especially if these include hints like songs to use a patch for or effect/filter settings which work in a specific way for a patch.

Not sure if average rating would help, but if this will be implemented it should be the statistical median

Yep The global rating in the rating column is the median, the following (2) shows how many individual ratings have been applied (you can add rating in Sound Viewer).

By the way I just added 87 Nord Electro Sounds, and did the autocomplete tag list change
