The end result will depend on how the original ranges are mapped .
Samples will not be moved from one key to another, any gaps across
the keyboard range will be filled by any adjacent samples . A setting of
0 will disable all the samples .
Range: 0 to 48 semi tones
Map
Map the samples according to the Interval setting .

Play Mode

This allows you to choose if a sample should be pitched according to
the standard 12 tone interval when you play the keys it has been
assigned to, or to play back at its original pitch, regardless of what key
you play .
If you e .g . have some drum samples that span
several keys, they could be set to Unpitched if you
want them to play at the same, original pitch .
Samp Preset Tab
This tab allows you to set some functions to be applied to the Sample
Instrument . Some of these functions will also determine the automati-
cally activated settings of the Samp Env functions, for the Sample
Instrument .
Velocity Controlled Dynamics
The functions in this area determines how a Sample Instrument should
respond when the Vel Dyn selection is active in the Samp Env section .
Amplitude
This allows you to determine if the amplitude of the Sample Instrument
should respond to keyboard velocity .
Range: None, Low, High
Filter
This allows you to determine if a keyboard velocity controlled low pass
filter should be applied to the Sample Instrument .
Range: None, 600Hz, 150Hz
Attack Time
This controls if a velocity controlled attack time should be applied to
the Sample Instrument . Higher velocities will shorten the attack time .
Range: None, Short, Long
M
The Slow AT setting that can be activated in the Samp Env sec-
tion on the panel is a separate, non-velocity sensitive, long attack.
Vel Dyn Enabled
Check this box if you wish to have the velocity sensitivity turned on in
the Nord Electro 3 as the default setting when the Sample Instrument
is selected .
Decay Time
This can apply an amplitude decay to a sound, in order to e .g . have a
amplitude decay on a looped sound .
Range: None, Short, Long
Release Time
This sets the default release time that should be activated in the Samp
Env section when this Sample Instrument is selected .
Range: Short, Medium 1. Medium 2, Long
Octave Shift
This sets the default octave shift that will be activated when this
Sample Instrument is selected .
Manager tab
This is where you find the function of the Nord Sample Editor to man-
age the content of the Sample Instrument memory . If no Nord Electro 3
is connected to the computer, the memory locations will be grayed out .
E The actions that take place in the Manager tab will affect the
memories in the unit. The Nord Sample Editor is online with the
Nord at all times, so any changes that you perform in the Editor
will immediately be echoed in the Nord Wave or Electro 3. If you
e.g. delete a Sample Instrument from the list in the Nord Sample
Editor, that same SI will also be deleted from the Nord Electro 3
memory, without any warnings or confirmation dialogs.
Manager Toolbar
The icons on the Tool bar gives you instant access to three functions .
Sound Up
This will upload a selected Sample Instrument to the computer hard
drive . It will be saved as a .nsmp file .
Sound Down
This allows you to choose a file on the hard drive, to be downloaded to
the next available free location in the Nord Electro 3 .
Delete
This will delete the selected Sample Instrument from the Nord Electro 3
memory .
