The sample from May 22, 2014 is good, but the synth part doesn't work with the program file from the same date. Perhaps I am missing a piano sample, but I don't see how that would affect the synth part.

So I made my own program by splitting the keyboard and put my favorite piano below C5 and the synth using the sample above for above C5. I works pretty well that way. Are there other nice mods of functions or samples that I am missing?

The samples from WannitBBBad don't arpeggiate and don't sound right on my Stage 2 EX. Am I missing something????

Hello, regarding the samples I posted, a video posted by Marc (My Keys To Music) shows folks how to put together the program with the appropriate splits at The sample for the split to the far left already has the arpeggio in the sample, so you just hold one note for the arpeggio to play. Maxpiano and DJKeys both have versions posted above that are already set up for the Stage 2 and ready to go if you want to gothat route instead. I hope this helps, take care.

Thank you. The video did help. I needed to lower 32W sample by 4 octaves and now it sounds great!!!!

WannitBBBad did a great job on these samples. I really appreciate him sharing them. I've had the Nord Stage 3 for 1 week now and these were the 1st samples I downloaded and they worked perfect.
Now for the $64,000.00 question. The band I am in down tunes a 1/2 step on everything to make it easier on the vocals. When I down tune this patch it slows down the arpeggiation and ruins the tempo of the song. Is there an easy way to fix this on the board or do I need to find other samples? Can I take these samples and modify them to get the results I need? So new to this board that I am not sure what it is capable of.

Hello, and welcome to the Forum! I have a version tuned down a step that I'll dig up and post - perhaps as a larger file to allow playing in either key. In my original sample, I only used the intro on F; absent another sample on E, your Nord is interpolating the F and slowing it down to make it an E (everything time-related is slowed down as well). I'll get back soon, take care.

Update: I posted a new NSMP sample covering the original key and a semitone down with my Stage 3 post at nord-stage-3-programs-ns3p-ns3pb-files- ... ml#p151304
Take care
