Looking at the file format (if .nsmp3 is the correct one), it's a binary blob with descriptor followed by the sample data (which seems to be in some packed format, not sure). If Nord has the specs of the file format available somewhere, it shouldn't be that difficult to create a script to export to that file format. My hunch is that it's a closed, proprietary file format.

EDIT: Just found description to the format, it wasn't the sample library (.nsmp3) type and peeps have made apps that read the format >> https://chris55.github.io/ns3-program-v ... -structure

That's .. a lot of stuff to convert.

Thanks for the answer. Thats a lot of info to digest on that link and somewhat out of my comfort zone. So I guess I will move forward by just remapping the wav files in the nord sound editor.
