ment with one sound for each key, or create multiple splits by assigning
different samples to different keyboard ranges – e.g. bass samples in
the lower register, followed by piano samples higher up on the key-
board. The Nord Sample Editor has some very useful functions that will
assist you in the mapping process.
Sample editing, loop markers, crossfade
Setting a starting point for a sample to e.g. eliminate any unwanted au-
dio at the beginning, is a one-click function in the Nord Sample Editor.
The Editor has some very powerful loop functions that make creating
perfect, seamless loops a breeze. The loop makes it possible to use
shorter samples that still can be played for a duration that is longer
than the sample itself. The loop functions also includes a crossfade
option that can be monitored in real time, with various options for the
length, crossfade curves etc.
Generate, upload, download
When a Project is completed, you can generate a Sample Instrument
and automatically download the wave data to the Flash memory in
the Nord Electro 3. The real estate of the Flash memory has a fixed
capacity and to keep track on how much room you have left, there is
an indicator in the Nord Sample Editor that will help you to manage the
available space.
