M Flashing LEDs in the Piano Type and Model section indicates that
the piano that the current Program tried to use is not available in
the Flash memory. Select another program or download the miss-
ing piano to the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW.
Sound Up
Use this function to upload one or several sounds from the Nord Elec-
tro 4 HP/SW to the computer hard drive.
Sound Down
Use this function to download one or several sounds from the com-
puter hard drive to the next available location in the selected partition.
Bundle Up
This function will upload a selection of programs or an entire Bank to
the computer hard drive, and include all the pianos and/or samples
that these programs use in a Program Bundle file.
The default source will be the currently selected Program(s) or the ac-
tive bank, but you can choose another bank with the drop down menu.
Click on the Upload button to enter the name of the Bundle and to
select the destination on the hard drive. The Program Bundle file that is
created on the hard drive will have a file extension that ends with “pb”.
Bundle Down
This function will download a Bundle with programs, pianos and
samples from the computer hard drive to the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW.
You have a choice if you want the Bundle to be appended to the
existing programs in the bank in focus or if the Bundle should replace
the contents in an entire bank of your choice.
Programs in a Program Bundle will be downloaded to the locations
where they came from if the Replace option is selected.
Backup
This will make a backup of all the pianos, programs, Live programs and
the menu settings in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW. The file that is created
on the hard drive will have the extension .ne4b. Backing up the entire
memory content in this manner will take some time, depending on the
sizes of the pianos and samples in the unit.
Backing up from the Nord Sound Manager is done in an incre-
mental manner. Unless you change the name or the location of
the backup file, only the pianos and/or programs that have been
changed since the previous backup will be saved.
The Nord Sound Manager will suggest a location for the backup,
the first time this function is selected (in My Documents/Nord Sound
Manager files/). If you rather save the backup file elsewhere, use the
browser to pick another destination.
Restore
To restore a previously saved backup file to the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW,
select this option and browse to a backup file on the hard drive (file
extension .ne4b) and click Open.
E The restore function will begin after you have clicked Open and
confirmed your intentions in the dialogue. All the content of a con-
nected Nord Electro 4 HP/SW will then be irrevocably replaced by
the content of the backup file.
