Hi all,
I'm a brand new NS4 owner and I am discovering the sound manager and all the capabilities of this wonderful beast !
I found some very interesting sounds/samples on the forum, but I cannot import them to my NS4 because the Sound Manager (when plugged to my NS4) doesn't recognize the ns3p or ns3f extensions. The same with the Nors Sample Editor : cannot import those extensions to save them in the ns4p format...
Does anyone have an idea ? Thanks for your help !
Gregoire
PS : I'm building NS4 programs that I will be glad to share in a near future.
convert *.ns3p to *.ns4p

Re: convert *.ns3p to *.ns4p
Hello, Stage 3 programs can't be used on the Stage 4, however you can view the organ piano, and synth settings of NS3 programs using the NS2 & NS3 Program Viewer. The organ and piano settings can easily be recreated on the NS4; the synths are a bit different however you can view waveforms/samples and Amp/Env settings to help get you started. Nord Sound Manager will convert any "user-created" NSMP3 samples to NSMP4 format; a current bug with NSM v7.70 prevents conversion of NSMP files however here's a discussion on that for work-arounds until fixed: Sample Converter. It's easiest to work with NSM in "organize" mode which will show open locations for samples. I hope that helps, good luck!

Re: convert *.ns3p to *.ns4p
Not only you may be new to the NS4, but the NS4 is also quite new to the world. So there isn't very much already around to share.
The program format of the NS3 and NS4 aren't compatible. The synth engine e.g. changed completely. There will probably never be a way to convert programs from one format to another. The Nord Sound Manager does recognise the NS3 format - but will only be able to load it onto a NS3, not a NS4.
What is usable on both systems are the piano samples from the Nord Piano Library and a lot of synth samples that do coexist for both Nord Sample Library 3.0 (NS3) and Nord Sample Library 4.0 format (NS4).
You may also use the NS3 program viewer created by user florence and see the settings on a NS3 and try to replicate them on a NS4.

Many thanks @WannitBBBad & @FZiegler for the clear and valuable explanations !
