We had actually, before they hide the 4.0 library page, there was a note saying only compatible with NP5, NS3, NE6, etc.florence wrote:we have absolutely no confirmation that NS3 will support nsmp4...
Of course not, the current OS only allows 3.0. To load 4.0 you need a new OS update + release of 4.0 libraryTimGadget wrote:Yep I too cannot load NSMP4 into my Stage3. hi analogica, is your compatibility source super-reliable, noting the quote is in the present tense re compatibility but its not so as yet (https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... library-40 is access denied for mere mortals if it was there)... would be great for an official statement from Stockholm.

well the page in question was just a draft, copied from the lib 3.0. At this time the text was exactly the same as in lib 3.0, just a copy/paste... in hindsight, this absolutely does not guarantee the content.neomad wrote:We had actually, before they hide the 4.0 library page, there was a note saying only compatible with NP5, NS3, NE6, etc.florence wrote:we have absolutely no confirmation that NS3 will support nsmp4...
With latest Nord Sound Editor, you can already save as nsmp4, see belowSpider wrote:nsmp4 which, incidentally, isn't even released yet
Ok, but what's the point if it's still a beta format, not officially released, not mentioned anywhere and not supported by any Nord instrument except the P5? It's clearly all a work in progress: they'll announce it, and almost surely release OS updates to make it compatible with other instruments, when they're ready. Until then, there's little we can do.florence wrote: With latest Nord Sound Editor, you can already save as nsmp4
It is clear that they are moving to a new sample format which will be supported by all the current instruments, E6, Nord Grand, NS3, Piano 5 and Wave 2. All will require updates to support the V4 format, but I don't think Nord has ever done a mass update like this. It is likely to contain other fixes and enhancements for all of those instruments. For example, there has not been an update for the NW2 since last October-Spider wrote:Ok, but what's the point if it's still a beta format, not officially released, not mentioned anywhere and not supported by any Nord instrument except the P5?

I agree, I think the reason why they only stated the Piano 5 is because, as for now, that is the only one whose OS currently supports it, all the other instruments needing an update, an update that might come soon or it might come in several months... So, for now, it makes sense to only mention the P5.DJKeys wrote:Just finished reading that, but I cannot imagine they will go forward with only one instrument supporting the new format. The original leaked URL claimed support as well for the present NSMP 3 instruments, but we will see.
