Convert your samples to the new sample format used in the Nord Stage 3!
2017-12-15
The Nord Sample Converter converts your existing Version 1 & 2 (.nsmp) files to the new Version 3 (.nsmp3) format used in the Nord Stage 3. Simply drag the .nsmp files to the application window and new .nsmp3 versions are automatically created inside a folder called "nsmp3" in the source folder.
We have just added a new Layer category to the Nord Piano Library. The Layer category contains expressive, multi-sampled layered combinations of classic synths and pianos reminiscent of the 80's and 90's.
Additionally, we have also added 2 new vintage Digital Grand pianos, DigiGrand 1 and 2 to our Digital Piano category.
All these sounds were introduced with the Nord Stage 3 factory bank, and are now available for instruments compatible with the Nord Piano Library.
