Software instruments are a bit tricky, they sit in three places: the audio samples themselves, the sampler file, and the track settings that GB reads. If any of them is missing, the instrument won't work.

Career[edit]
In 2014, NINA released their single 'My Mistake' which was included in a compilation by Hugo Boss.[1] Following the release of their single 'We Are The Wild Ones', NINA performed four shows in Florida supporting British synth pop duo Erasure on their 'The Violet Flame' tour. They also performed at Liverpool Sound City music festival. 'We Are The Wild Ones' was used in Syfy's TV series 'Being Human'. The official music video for the song was premiered by The Huffington Post.[2] In 2015, 'My Mistake' was used in a radio and TV commercial by Mercedes Benz[3]; the song subsequently reached number 6 on Shazam's charts.[citation needed]
'Beyond Memory' was produced by Richard X and co-produced by Sunglasses Kid. The single was premiered by Idolator, who described it as 'a slice of mid-tempo moodiness overflowing with NINA's longing, and Richard X's haunting synths'.[4] Idolator included 'Beyond Memory' in their 'Top 10 EPs & Mixtapes of 2016' list.[citation needed] 'Beyond Memory' was played on BBC Introducing in July 2016. The EP features remixes by Ministry of Sound DJs Nilesh Parmar and Liam Keegan, as well as Swedish producer, Oscillian.[citation needed]
NINA released their fourth single 'One Of Us' in collaboration with Metropolis Studios and M:UK label. The single was co-written by Nina Boldt, Laura Fares and Oscillian and mixed by British audio engineer Liam Nolan. It was premiered by PopCrush who described it as similar to 'Like A Virgin-era Madonna'.[5] That year, NINA performed at synth wave festivals around Europe such as 'Outland' and 'Retro Future Festival'.
NINA's debut album Sleepwalking was released on Aztec Records on March 16, 2018. The Electricity Club described the album's title track as 'a wonderfully moonlit pop number with a Eurocentric sensibility that will also act as perfect to soundtrack a West Coast night drive'.[6] In November 2018, NINA performed six shows in the U.S. alongside Canadian synth pop band Parallels.[7] NINA released their new single 'The Calm Before The Storm' as part of Adult Swim's 'Fever Dreams' synth wave compilation.[8]
