Supported instruments
Only two models have been tested for everything: the Nord Stage 4 and the Nord Stage 3. On the Stage 2, reading files and copying from the keyboard have been tested; sending, deleting and backing up have not. Nothing has been tested on any other model yet.
The same table is on the Compatibility page in the app.

Help test
Section titled “Help test”If you have a model marked ●, run Check my Nord. It only reads from the keyboard. Share results to help opens a pre-filled issue on GitHub. That is what turns a ● into a ✓.
Opening files from your computer
Section titled “Opening files from your computer”Some models can only be read from a connected keyboard for now:
- Import a file… takes Stage 4, 3 and 2 programs.
- Choose a folder… reads Stage 4 and Electro 6 programs, plus presets,
samples, pianos and
.ns4bbackups.
See File types.
Moving programs between models
Section titled “Moving programs between models”A program can only be sent to the model it was made for. A Stage 2 or 3 program can be converted into a Stage 4 one; see Convert to Stage 4.
