Nord User Forum

I'm looking for samples of the legendary Hammond B3 organ sounds. I’ve already found some, but they’re older and I couldn’t load them onto my Nord Grand because the Nord Sound Manager says they are not compatible. I think they need to be .nsmp3 or .nsmp4 files and they were the older nsmp files.

I’d be grateful for any tips and I’m also willing to pay for high-quality B3 organ sounds for my Nord Grand.

Thanks in advance for your help!

All the best,
Pilos

If you use the "Search" of this forum you'll find them

(here viewtopic.php?p=144883)

these are the samples that i referred to. They do not work with my Nord Grand because they are too old i guess with the old NSMP format..

This sounds a little odd as Nord Sound Manager is able to convert nsmp files into nsmp3 on the fly for a long time (2019 maybe); the newest version also converts into nsmp4. It shouldn't be a general problem to load older samples...

As Fziegler said, don't guess, just try

Hello, please make sure your Grand has the latest OS and you're using the latest Nord Sound Manager. Good luck!

I already tried and it did not work unfortunately.. It worked with newer samples in the NSMP3 format though, but I am not satisfied with these samples

From the thread I linked

Do you confirm you have the latest NG1 OS and the latest NSM (at least 9.14)?
I also recommend not to drag/drop the files but to open then from the Download menu

I have the latest version of my Nord Grand Software and the lastest Nord Sound Manager. And yes I used the Download function

Do you get any error? (screenshot)
