Send a program to your Nord

This replaces what is in the slot

Sending a program to a slot that holds one replaces it. There is no undo on the keyboard. Back up your Nord first, and try a spare slot.

Sending has been tested on the Nord Stage 4 and Stage 3 only. On other models it is untested; see Supported instruments.

Send a program

1. Connect your Nord.
2. Open the program in the Library and press Send to Nord, or press Send a file to Nord… on the Device page and pick a program file.
3. Choose a slot. Slots are shown the way the Nord shows them, like A:12, with the program in each, or “— empty”.
4. Check the confirmation: “This replaces “Name” at A:12.” or “Send to A:12 (currently empty).” It also shows the name the program will have on the Nord (a name that’s already used gets a number).
5. Press Send to Nord. Keep the Nord connected until it finishes.

When sending is off

The button explains why:

• “Connect your Nord to send it.”
• “This is a Stage 3 program. Convert it to Stage 4 first, then send the result.” See Convert to Stage 4.
• “This is a Live program; OpenNord can’t send Live programs yet.”
• “…can’t be sent to a [model].”: the program is for another Nord.
• “This file was saved in a newer format than OpenNord knows…”
• An old Stage 2 OS file: open it in Nord Sound Manager and save it again first.
• “OpenNord only reads this keyboard…”: OpenNord doesn’t write to this model yet.

Presets can’t be sent yet.

Delete a program

On the Device page, Delete on a row asks Delete from Nord? first. It is permanent: back up first if you may want it back.
