Listen to it closely. Though bass and other instruments drop briefly to a G, I believe the synth pattern might stay the same throughout, but I'll look into it.

Samples that fit the pitch of the key work if a sample is used for each key or if an individual sample is interpolated across multiple keys, however with the latter, what you're getting is the sample being sped up or slowed down to adjust the pitch. In this case, dropping to a G would slow down the pattern being played, so a new sample will have to be created for G dropping the pitch of the original WAV but not the tempo. Take care

In case some of you aren't aware of the feature, using Nord Sound Manager you can load the "dynamics" of any synth sample by double-clicking on the sample name with the applicable program panel/layer set up. Note that it will change existing synth settings of the selected synth. Take care.

For NS4 and Piano 5 owners wanting to use these samples, I have submitted the Nord Sound Manager conversion issue to Nord multiple times without response. Piano 5 owners can download the older NSM v7.62 or v7.70 and the conversion works fine. Take care.

Nord Sound Manager v9.02 still has a bug preventing conversion of user-created NSMP files (NSMP2 format) to NSMP4 format for the Stage 4 and Piano 5. Below are older versions of NSM that will work for Piano 5 owners. I would appreciate someone posting MAC versions if you have them (older online versions not available yet). From what I understand Nord is working on the conversion problem, but if you are a Piano 5 or NS4 owner, it wouldn't hurt to submit the bug to Nord so priorities can be set. Take care.

Here you go (had to put the .dmg file for MacOS into a .zip file since upload of .dmg does not work here):
