does anyone have a split sample with

strings on lower and flute on upper to use on Nights in White Satin

strings on lower and brass on upper to use on Sweet Caroline?

I would like that too for Nights in White Satin !

I am looking forward to the release of Nord Sample Editor 3 for the Electro 6 so that I can set up a sample with Mellotron violins on the lower keyboard and flute on the upper.

I'm currently using a B3 flute on the upper half, but it's not very authentic sounding.

In order to achieve the bass and mellotron strings for "Nights In White Satin", sampling of the strings requires that the attack is at least 600ms upwards and release of at least 150ms or greater. I'd sample it with the reverb because the mellotron strings on the recording were flooded with a reverb in order to give distance and coldness. the bass would need a touch of compression and rounding. If I can get this done, I'll try, if not, I've given you some building blocks to try it. Yes, I'm a fan of the moody blues too lol.

It's not NSE3 that's the issue, it's firmware for the Electro 6, Piano 4 and Grand that's the issue here. NSE3 itself is the master construct, compliance of it comes from the firmware changes for the Electro, Piano 4 and Grand, which we as users need to push for, if we don't then it's forgotten about.

The intro alone for Nights in White Satin would take its own patch or sample set. I’d love to create a crazy layered sample set for the intro on one panel and the Mellotron strings and flute on another panel. I think I’ll attempt it. Btw, does anybody know what Mellotron strings they used on the original recording?

There is nothing stopping you from using the Sample Editor now. The E6 uses the same nsmp3 files as the S3.

From the Nord Website:

"COMPATIBILITY
The Nord Sample Editor 3 is available for free download for Mac and Windows
and is compatible with all Nord instruments that support samples."

Which means it's producing NSMP3 and NSMP2 samples and goes down to the Electro 3 as supported platform. That's even more than what cgrafx said.

Can anyone recommend which factory settings to use on a Nord Piano 5 for Sweet Caroline?.
