CLAVIA DMI AB CLAVIA NORD Electro 5 HP [18/24] Deleting sounds and samples

18 | NORD ELECTRO 5 USER MANUAL OS V1.X

The Nord Sample Library is a broad collection of quality sampled sounds that cover most cate-

gories and instrument families, from vintage to modern and acoustic to electric.

M All our sounds and samples utilize the lossless compression algorithm implemented in the

playback engines of the Nord Electro 5, making it possible to ﬁt more sounds into the mem-

ory of the machine without compromising their quality.

DOWNLOADING PIANO SOUNDS

To download a new Piano sound, navigate to the Nord Piano Library section of www.nordkey-

boards.com. Simply click on the download link of the instrument and size you want, and the

sound will be downloaded to your computer. Make sure your Electro 5 is connected and that the

Nord Sound Manager application is open. Select the Piano tab within the application, and then

drag the downloaded .npno ﬁle onto the list area. The sound will automatically be transferred to

your instrument.

DOWNLOADING SAMPLE SYNTH SAMPLES

New samples for the Sample Synth are downloaded from the Nord Sample Library section of

www.nordkeyboards.com. Most of the sounds are downloaded as bundles, and come in a .zip

archive containing individual .nsmp ﬁles. Once downloaded, decompress the archive and drag

the samples you want onto the list area of the Samp Lib tab.

DELETING SOUNDS AND SAMPLES

If the content of the Piano or Samp Lib partitions are approaching their limits you may have to

delete sounds or samples from the instrument. Within their respective tab, select the Piano sound

or Samp Lib sample you want to delete, and click the Delete icon in the toolbar. A dialog will

appear, asking you to conﬁrm the delete.

SUBSTITUTING SOUNDS AND SAMPLES

You also have the option to substitute a sound or sample for another, which is useful if you want

your Programs to stay intact but for example switch to a different sized piano, or different version

of a sampled instrument. In this case, select the sound or sample you want to substitute from

the tab list and click the Substitute button. A dialog will open, asking you to locate the sound

or sample you want to use instead. Browse to the .npno or .nsmp ﬁle of your choice and click

Substitute in the dialog window.
