Nord User Forum

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to de-tune a sample by 1 semi-tone, without slowing down the tempo? Our band is doing Baba-O-Riley and I am using a sample that I downloaded from this forum on my NS3. We recently changed singers and we need to de-tune everything by a half step. Unfortunately, this slows down the tempo of the sample.
Thanks

Short answer is not directly on the Nord. You would have to do that to the sample directly in a tool designed to pitch shift and then reimport into the Nord.

Hi,

I believe that the only way is to re-sample the sound into .wav files, then use a tool to de-tune them without speed change and crate a new sample from the de-tuned .wav files

EDIT: cgrafx was a milli-second faster providing the same answer

Thanks to cgrafx and Schorsch for your quick replies. I have read some posts from WannitBBBad regarding this topic as well. I will try your suggestions and follow up with my results. Thanks again to all who contribute to this forum!

Hello, I recently added a sample that can be used in F or E at post151304.html#p151304. The other sample for the right hand ("WhoBabaORiley32W.nsmp3") should work fine transposed. Let me know if you have any questions. Take care.

Hi WannitBBBad, I just downloaded and installed your sample and it works Perfectly! I Was able to play in either F or E with no Transpose, and when I did a Global Transpose -1 semi-tone, the tempo seems to remain consistent. I have no idea how you accomplished that but I cannot Thank you enough!

You're welcome! I used Audacity to change the pitch of the original WAV files without changing the tempo, and then added the pitch-adjusted WAV files to the new Nord Sample. Take care.
