Invert Selection
This will deselect the original selection and then select all the other
items in the list.
View Menu
Organize (Ctrl+O)
When this option is checked, the lists
will show all the available locations
in the selected partition/bank and
not only the occupied ones. This will
for instance make it easier to drag a
file to a specific free location in the
middle of the list. If this is unchecked, only the occupied locations will
be shown.
Dual View (Ctrl+L)
When this option is checked, the window will be divided in two lists.
The two lists makes it easy to move programs from one location to
another. You can make the lists show separate banks with the drop-
downs. Rearranging programs is simply a matter of drag and drop.
Drag a program from one bank/list to another bank/list in either direc-
tion.
Press the Ctrl-key on the computer keyboard to copy a selection
to the destination during a drag and drop operation.
Info (Ctrl+I)
Activating Info brings up an information area to the right of the list.
This area will show if a selected piano or a sample is used in any
programs, or what pianos and samples are used in any selected
programs.

This is a shortcut to the Search Box. By entering one or several charac-
ters in the Search Box, you can filter out the content that is presented
in the lists.
Auto Select
When this function is active, pianos, samples or programs will be
automatically selected in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW when you browse

a particular piano, program or sample in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW
