Nord Wave User Manual v1.1
Global Gain
this can set a global increase or attenuation of the am-
plitude of the entire Sample Instrument. any individual
amplitude differences between the samples will not be
altered. Set the value expressed in dB:s in the value box,
confirming this by pressing enter, or with the increment/
decrement buttons.
range: -8.9 to + 8.9 dB
Sample Gain
this allows you to change the amplitude on each indi-
vidual sample. the amplitude after a gain change will be
indicated with the horizontal line in the Grid. Set the value
expressed in dB:s in the value box, confirming this by press-
ing enter, or with the increment/decrement buttons.
range: -8.9 to + 8.9 dB
Keyboard Gain graph
this will reflect any changes that you make with the Key-
board Gain controls. these settings will affect the entire
Sample Instrument, and can be used to apply various ad-
justments that will change the amplitude across the range
of the keyboard. If for example the lower range in the
Sample Instrument is too loud, you can apply an attenu-
ation that begins at a chosen octave. the sample in focus
will be indicated as a yellow slice.
Reset All
this will reset any settings that you have made using the
octave gain controls.
Octave gain controls
allows you to apply a gain change to a range, which will
start at the preset keys C1, C2, C3 etc.
C4 represents the middle C on the Nord Wave, when the
octave Shift control is set to 0. Set the value expressed in
dB:s in the value box, confirming this by pressing enter, or
with the increment/decrement buttons.
ranges: -8.9 to + 8.9 dB
Detune
You can change the overall tuning of the samples, either on
a global scale or for any individual samples. this provides
you with the means to fix any problems with samples that
are out of tune, or to adjust an entire Sample Instrument.
the unit is in cents, 100 cent is the range between two
semitones.
Reset All
this will reset any changes that you have made using the
detune controls.
Global Detune
Sets the overall tuning of the Sample Instrument. Enter
the value expressed in cents in the value box, confirming
this by pressing enter, or with the increment/decrement
buttons.
range: -50 to 50 cents
Sample Detune
this allows you to detune the sample in focus in the
Sample Instrument. Set the value expressed in cents in the
value box, confirming this by pressing enter, or with the
increment/decrement buttons. Each and every sample in
the Project can be detuned.
range: -50 to 50 cents
Sample Zone
these controls makes it very easy to change the focused
sample’s root Key and Upper Key, in order to edit the
assignment. the focused sample will be highlighted in
yellow, and you can quickly select focus by clicking on
the keys in the Keyboard grid or by scrolling through the
samples using the horizontal arrow keys on the computer
keyboard.
Root Key
Sets a new root Key for the focused sample. there can only
be one sample assigned to each root Key, the value will
automatically skip to the next available note.
range: F0 to C8
Upper Key
Sets a new Upper Key for the focused sample. the available
range may be limited by samples that occupy a root Key
higher up on the keyboard. the Upper Key can not be a key
that is located lower than the root Key on the keyboard.
range: F0 to C8
Enabled
this allows you to disable and re-enable the focused
sample.
Transpose
Use the buttons to transpose the entire Sample Instrument
in semi tone steps.
Auto Map
this function can be used to quickly enable and disable
samples at certain intervals in order to reduce the amount
of memory used by the Sample Instrument. this is a great
way to quickly experiment with the Sample Instrument
without having to delete and/or re-assign samples.
Interval
Set the interval or range between the samples that will
be kept enabled. 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.
