Don’t think there’s a need for a file converter. Just manually change the name to nsmp3, save, then import.

Re: Feeling underwhelmed by the horns and strings
Maybe you can do something creative with mono lo & hi ?gsbe_com wrote:I'd love to hear an example of what a good horn section on a keyboard actually sounds like. I've experienced something like this with some VST's as they can split a chord automagically between a section, react to velocities with different articulations, etc. I'm willing to use a computer to get this level of automagic control onstage...what would you suggest is the highest quality horn ensemble samples for soul/W&B (think horns for Motown, EWF, Kool & Gang, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, KC & Sunshine Band, etc)
So for instance :
- synth1 : tbone mono lo
- synth2 : sax
- synth3 : trumpet mono hi
The following statement is not true. The previous statement is true.

Here's a simple trick I use to get more convincing brass out of my Stage 3 (equally applicable to other models):
Layer synthesized brass on sampled brass. Gets you from sounding cheesy and plastic, to somewhat intentionally artificial.
