Hi. I've had a Nord Stage 3 keyboard for a few weeks now and I need someone to help me solve the following question: can three samples be used in one program? For example, for a part of a song I have a program in which I need a pad (which has a sample) and a guitar with distortion (which has two samples, the guitar and the distortion). I wanted to use the pad on the entire keyboard and the guitar with distortion only in the upper octave but I do not know how to use three samples in a single program.
Thanks in advance.

You have only 2 slots (with one synth section each), so no way of loading a 3rd sample.
You could construct a new sample with the sample editor so it contains all three but if you haven't got the wav files you will need to resample and mix it before creating the nsmp (using Audacity or similar).

Unless you're using the terms differently, distortion is not a sample, it is an effect (on the Nord, it is labeled Drive). You have two panels. Put the Pad on one panel's synth section, put the Guitar on the other panel's synth section (with a split engaged to put it only in the upper octave), and use the Drive effect on the synth section of the panel that has the Guitar.

Hello, thank you very much for the help. The problem is that the guitar with distortion I downloaded it from a post and it is configured as two samples (guitar - distortion). I'm going to try to set up a distortion like a Drive. Let's see if i get it! Thanks for your help.

Is it a single file with two sounds in it, or is it two files?

It is a program with two files. I enclose it, Using only the configuration of section A with the Les Paul guitar, the distortion remains low.

I don't think I can view that file without being attached to a Stage 3. What's in that bundle? Are you sure it contains two samples (rather than a sample and a program)?

Hi. In Panel A you have "Les Paul Neck-mic" with a mix of Sample Les Paul and a wave 0 SEMI and various effects (drive, reverb). In Panel B it has a wave Shape Square AMT Osc Ctrl 50% and several effects (delay, drive, chor)
