Can't find Synth collections
It's a while since I've looked online in the Nord Sample Library, but I seem to recall many vintage synths being available, with a library of many sounds for each.
e.g. Yamaha, Roland, Korg, Prophet - possibly even Moog (not certain now what was available, but along these lines).
But I can't find any, anymore. Have they been taken down?
Using Stage 2, by the way.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Re: Can't find Synth collections
Thanks MaxPiano.
Am I correct in saying that the Library archives samples (https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... ry-archive) are ALL included in the library v2 (https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sound-lib ... library-20) (those split by "Sound Collection"=instruments and "Categories"=sound type) )?
And moreover, that the sample library v2 contains more samples anyway than the library archive (therefore library v2 is definively the place to search) ?
As for the hidden v1 page (29 nice synths by the way !), are those included somewhere in the v2 page (as I expected to find them in the "Sound Collection") ?

Re: Can't find Synth collections
Looks like not all of them are included... you can quickly check it yourself comparing the two libraries synth pages (there was a dedicated topic in the past here on NUF)

Wow man that is awesome info, sorry I missed that when search the forum. I find the search function seems to return reams of stuff and many many pages of it and can take ages! wish there was an option to just get one discussion rather than all the replies and bigger results lists per page (maybe there is and I didn't find that!). I guess I hadn't thought of the idea of hidden pages, is that nord trying to withdraw support for older products and encourage us to upgrade?
I've copied ALL of them, just in case.
one more daft question is there any utility out there to allow you to prelisten to nsmp files before loading. there is such little memory on the electro 3 it could take hours to go through them all by downloading to the unit? I didn't notice anything on the download tab?
THanks a million MaxP.

To your questions:
- you can use the Advanced Search (linked in the Portal home page under the Search box) search.php
- unfortunately no util to listen to .nsmp samples before loading them

Re: Can't find Synth collections
Hi MaxP.,
no, there is no software sound engine making an nsmp file audible. But some samples are accompanied by sound examples. I just found it complicated to get them downloaded from soundcloud.
The reason why that synth page is hidden was presumed to be for trademark rights - according to the guesses of some forum members.
