Select all the files in the File List that has these indicators and
click on Assign,

The samples will be mapped to zones according to the mark-
ers in the file names.

Editing

Let's continue to edit a sample; in order to prepare it a bit
more before we download the Sample Instrument to the
Nord Wave:
1
Make sure that you have at least one sample in the Project
and that this sample is assigned to a zone and in focus.
2
Click on the Instrument tab.
this is where you can adjust the gain, and fine-tune
the pitch of the entire Sample Instrument or any indi-
vidual samples. You adjust these functions by entering
values in the input boxes or by using the increment/
decrement buttons.
•
Move the focus by using the horizontal arrow keys on
the computer keyboard.
3
Click on the Sample Start tab.
this is where you can adjust the starting point of
the sample. this is useful if you have audio files that
contain unwanted material before the actual sound
begins. the Nord Wave Manager will automatically
place a starting point when a sample is assigned to a
zone.
this marker can easily be changed if you prefer to
have manual control of this function. You can manu-
ally set the start point by entering a value in the Start
input box, using the slider or by simply clicking in the
waveform graph.
•
When the Sample Start tab is opened, the Manager
will zoom in closer in the waveform graph to make it
easier to distinguish noise from the actual sound. You
can change the zoom settings by using the buttons
below the waveform graph for the horizontal axis,
and the slider or the buttons to the right, for the verti-
cal axis.

Looping

Loops are very useful in order to e.g. make a sample play
back or sound beyond its own length. Loops will also
reduce a sample's size, since everything after the loop end
marker will be discarded when you download a Sample
Instrument to the Nord Wave.
Let's take a closer look at a loop.
a loop is automatically generated when a sample is as-
signed to a zone.
1
To view or edit the loop settings, just click on the Sample
Loop/Stop tab. The loop is indicated in the waveform graph as
a colored area.
