What is the Nord Wave Manager?
the Nord Wave Manager is the application that allows
you to edit, create and load collections of samples - called
Sample Instruments - to and from the sample memory area
of the Nord Wave synthesizer. this area is what we call the
Flash memory. the Manager will also act as a librarian util-
ity for the Program memory area.
the Nord Wave Manager will assist you in your editing ef-
forts; it contains powerful tools for various actions that can
be applied to a sample. these tools will for instance help
you in setting a start point of a sample, creating a loop and
other tasks that are essential in making the samples ready
for use in the Nord Wave. the Manager also has functions
for automatic mapping of samples across the keyboard
and much more.

Non-destructive editing

any editing that takes place in the Nord Wave Manager
software is completely non-destructive. the audio files on
your hard disk will not be altered in any way even though
the Nord Wave Manager will e.g. truncate samples before
they are downloaded to the Nord Wave. the Manager links
to the audio files, any alterations that you do to an original
audio file will also affect how that file "behaves" in the Nord
Wave Manager.
You should however try to keep a backup of, or use copies
of the original audio files when you start to assemble the
sample content for the Nord Wave. If you edit any audio file
that is used by the Nord Wave Manager with some other
application, that edit will also affect that particular file in
the Nord Wave Manager.

Sample Instrument
Please note that when you download a set of samples to
the Nord Wave, any other Sample Instrument that is related
to the same "sample location" in the Flash memory will be
erased in order to make room for the new one. Proceed
with care and follow our Quick tours and we'll make sure
that you won't risk overwriting anything.
