The Nord Stage Manager is the application that allows you to organize the various memory areas, the
partitions in the Nord Stage. It is also used to download pianos, programs or synth patches to the Nord
Stage or to upload any of these items - called sounds - from the Nord Stage memory to the computer
hard drive. The Nord Stage Manager provides access to various methods to download the sounds to
the Stage and a function to backup and restore the entire Nord Stage memory.

Synth. Below the tabs is a drop down menu, with which you select one of the banks in the partition.

greyed out.
