Pianos and presets

Piano Samples lists the .npno pianos in your folder, in backups there, and on a connected Nord.

  • Open one to play it under Listen · Keyboard, with velocity, note by note or from a MIDI keyboard.
  • Save to computer downloads it (from the Nord, it is read off the keyboard first). A piano inside a backup needs Load sounds first.
  • + Add › Make a piano from a sample… turns one of your samples into a piano (experimental).
  • With a Nord connected, Find unused pianos and Delete from Nord work as for samples.

There is no single-file import for pianos: put .npno files in your folder.

Presets holds organ, piano and synth presets: .ns4o, .ns4n, .ns4y (Stage 4), .ns3y (Stage 3) and .ns2s (Stage 2). Import them, read them from a folder or from your Nord, and filter by type (Organ, Piano, Synth) and model.

Open a preset to see its settings. Some are recognised but not yet shown in detail. Presets can be saved to your computer, but not sent to the Nord yet.
