NSE - Importing Left and Right WAV for stereo possible ?

[cookie]

Quick one as I didn't find any options in the Nord Sample Editor, thought I would have it confirmed here.
In the Nord Sample Editor 3, is there any ways to import 2 wave files for a single note (left and right for C3 for i.e.) ?

If only mono per note is available, would you just select 1 of the panned wave or "mix and render" (in Audacity) both WAV to a single stereo WAV for the import ?
Thanks !

I don't remember if it is possible in NSE, however I offer you a simple solution: use Audacity to generate a stereo .wav file from the 2 mono .wav you have

Thanks MaxPiano, indeed this is a solution if NSE is not able to import seperate waves.
I'll try to find some program with command line for batch processing.

If ever you find something that blends two mono files into one stereo file automatically, let us know!

But maybe, it's safer to do it by hand and have it phase corrected - that way it would be easier to play it in mono afterwards. You only have to do it 88 times, I guess.

Maybe something along the lines of

ffmpeg -i left.mp3 -i right.mp3 -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]amerge=inputs=2[aout]" -map "[aout]" output.mka

... or thereabout (didn't check as I'm on my phone and not with the computer)

Yes, also SoX (Sound eXchange) can be used for that http://sox.sourceforge.net/Main/HomePage

Yes SoX can do it. Also ffmpeg. Also found some other tools with Windows GUI.

I made few tests and ended up with ffmpeg and the following command line in batch (using "for %i in...") :
ffmpeg -i Note-L.wav -i Note-R.wav -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a]join=inputs=2:channel_layout=stereo[a]" -map "[a]" Note-Stereo.wav

I'll create some nsmp and see if this makes a valuable difference (as the stereo is double size) from taking say the left note. Will share my findings here.
Thanks for the feedbacks !

I don't have my Nord at hand, but here is my first test working with mono samples left & right of a "night flute" from a Kontakt free library.
Created 3 nsmp (yes Stage 2 users !) with Left WAV only, Right WAV only and stero WAV (generated with mmpeg).

Night Flute Left.nsmp

Night flute generated from LEFT only WAV

(1.3 MiB) Downloaded 146 times

Night Flute Right.nsmp

Night flute generated from RIGHT only WAV

(1.37 MiB) Downloaded 150 times

Night Flute Stereo.nsmp

Night flute generated from STEREO WAV

(2.7 MiB) Downloaded 142 times

Raw stereo WAV files do sound better in the headphones, I believe this will be the same out from the Nord.
Don't hesitate to share your thoughts.
