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