Hello folks.
Could anyone who has got it, please, upload the famous SHAKUHAKI sound from Emulator 1?
It has been used from a lot of artists, from Enigma in "Sadeness", for example.



NE3 version appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

Errata corrige, the sound is from Emulator II.

Thx.

I started from a free soundfont, unpacked the "sfark" to "sf2", tried Vienna Soundfont Editor (free if you have a "sound blaster live") ... but could not launch it because "no compatible hardware was detected" (I have two SBLive cards ... that I can't put in my laptop ).
Then I dropped the "sf2" file into Ableton Live, got a nice display of the splits and the aiff files extracted into Ableton's import directory.
I used audacity to "multiple file convert" them to 44100 Hz waves in order to import them into Nord Sample Editor.
I went through the "usual" process : set the mappings, the loops, the instrument settings.
I have no idea of the end result because I do not have my keyboard with me. I'll try the sound tonight. It's 360 092 octets, it may be crap ... but the process was intersting because there are many free soundfounts that could be converted into nsmp.

Edit : new nsmp with correct mapping + demo mp3

• shaku.mp3

Can you please make a short demo?

tnx a lot

Thank you very much.
I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.

I agree with afrk61, please can you prepare a short tutorial on how to convert an SF2 into a SNMP?
It would be very interesting..
Cheers.

Hi,

I updated the nsmp and added a mp3 playing this 288 083 octets sound

cheers.

it is not the flute used for Enigma sound...if you want the same sound,buy or download Z-G nostalgia Cd...there you will can find this cool flute(Emulator 2)

Hello andy74italy,
Welcome to the forums
did you mean ZERO-g Nostalgia?
Cheers, Hanon

I have Nostalgia, the sound is very similar but has got a very strange attack (with some kind of glitch) that makes impossible whatever musical solo or phraze. You can use it only for few "single" notes, not else. That's why I'm searchin' for a valid alternative.
Cheers.
