The sound of the wave files I uploaded to nord stage2 is very low, what should I do?

Whatever you've been doing - you certainly did not 'download' (computer > Nord Stage) a WAV or any other audio file to your Nord. You can only load piano samples or synth samples. Which software did you use (Nord Sample Editor or Nord Sound Mananger)?

Did you create a sample on your own using the Nord Sample Editor? Then it would be crucial to know if you used a WAV file as sound basis or a stream? I think it's best to look for a correct audio level from the beginning - even if there is a level control in the software.

Im sorry my engilish. I made it using nordsampler editor 4 , The sampler was pretty low compared to the Nord's sounds
I set the volume to 9db in sampereditor, volume still low . please help.

Hi Murat, probably you need to normalize the .wav before importing in Nord Sample Editor; you can do that easily with audio processing apps like Audacity.

Then remember that on NS2 you are only uploading the sample as an oscillator waveform, so you have to program the rest of the Synth to use it (easy way is to start with a Synth Init patch, so you will hear your .nsmp "pure")

I used wav file as stream

I'd recommend using a WAV file: record your sound in something like Audacity and normalize it, then import it to Nord Sample Editor.

I'd use streaming only for very quick manoevres: a sound that you need immediately - with the problem of not knowing the exact level of the sound.

There are buttons for "Level Envelope" and "Level" control in the software - but I have no idea how to use them. In my eyes, it's much easier to preconfigure the volume before loading into the sample editor.
