13. Nord Sound Manager: Nord Sound Manager reference
B (C +B)
ACKUP TRL
This will make a backup of all the Piano samples, Programs and the Synth patches in the Nord Stage.
The file that is created on the hard drive will have the extension .nsb.
Backing up the entire memory content in this manner will take some time, depending on the sizes of
the samples.
Tip: Backing up from the Nord Sound Manager is done in an incremental manner. Unless you
change the name or the location of the back up file, only the samples and/or programs/patches that
have been changed since the previous backup will be saved.
R (C
ESTORE TRL
To restore a previously saved backup file to the Stage, select this option and browse to a backup file
on the hard drive (file extension .nsb) and click Open.
Important: The restore function will begin after you have clicked Open and confirmed your in-
tentions in the dialogue. All the content of a connected Nord Stage will then be irrevocably re-
placed by the content of the backup file.
C
LEAN DELETED SPACE
This function will clean up the space where any previously deleted pianos, programs or synth patches
have been. This is done in order to make this deleted memory space available to new additions.
Note: Cleaning is automatically done if you download a new piano, program or synth patch to the
Nord Stage, but this menu command makes it possible to manually start the cleaning process.
F
ORMAT
This is a radical function; it will format the entire partition that is in focus. All the sound in the par-
tition will be deleted. You will be asked to confirm your intentions.
E (C +Q)
XIT TRL
Exits the Nord Sound Manager application.
E
DIT
R (C +N)
ENAME TRL
Allows you to rename a sound. 16 characters can be used, and the supported characters are: a-z, A-
Z, 0-9 and the hyphen (-). Any other characters will not be displayed in the Sound Manager lists or
in the Nord Stage display.
• Pianos cannot be renamed so this function is not available if you have selected a piano.
D
ELETE
Allows you to delete a selected item(s) from the Nord Stage memory. You will be asked to confirm
your intentions.
