Nord E6 sample formats

Post by joberixnb7 »

I’m just wondering, what sample formats will work on our E6? Does S3 samples will work on E6? I’m sorry, a little bit confused. The Nord site sample library 3.0 are for E6 and S3. Thanks in advance guys.

Can i get samples (.nsmp) from stage 3 sample forum? Then convert it to .nsmp3 and transfer to my E6?

Nord sample library 3 can be loaded directly, and library 2 will be converted by the sound manager when you load it into your NE6. The two formats are quite similar, but the 3 format has a few default parameters included that will be loaded with the sample.

The stage 3 (and other Nord instruments) use the same sample format, but the program and synth presets are not compatible between instruments.

So you can load nsmp and nsmp3 samples you find on the forum, but not programs from other Nord instruments. And there is no way to convert them.

So meaning I can get and play .nsmp3 samples from stage 3 forums with my Electro 6?

Struggling here, but is it correct that I can not upload any .ne5p files to my 6D?

It is correct, there is no cross compatibility of program files between NE5 and NE6 (and in general between any Nord board except EX versions of the same model) and .ne5p is a Program, not a Sample file.
