Rename

Allows you to rename a program or an organ preset . 16 characters
can be used, and the supported characters are: a-z, AZ, 0-9 and the
hyphen (-) . Any other characters will not be displayed in the Electro 3
Manager lists .
M Pianos or samples cannot be renamed so this function is not
available if you have selected any of these items.
Delete
Allows you to delete one or several selected sounds . You will be asked
to confirm your intentions . You may also use the delete or backspace
key on the computer keyboard to perform this action .
M
Any Program in the Nord Electro 3 that used that particular piano
or sample that you deleted will probably not sound at all, since it
will be missing an important component.
The space that a deleted Piano or Sample occupied is not immediately
available to other sounds, even though it is gone from the list and its
location is free . The Flash memory needs to be cleaned to free up the
space where the deleted sounds have been . When you add a new
piano or sample the cleaning process will be initiated automatically . You
also have the option to manually start the cleaning process with the
Clean Deleted Space command from the File menu .
M
A flashing number in the Nord Electro 3 piano type LED indicates
that the Piano that the current Program tried to use is not available
in the Flash memory. Select another piano type or download the
missing piano sample to the Stage.
Bank Up
This function will upload an entire bank of pianos, samples, programs
or organ presets to the computer hard drive . The default source will
be the currently active bank, but you may choose another partition
and bank if you wish . Click on the Choose Folder button to select the
destination on the hard drive .
If the Create Subfolders option is checked, a folder structure will auto-
matically be created in the destination folder .
M If a folder with the same name as the source partition/bank
already exists in the location on the hard drive, this folder's entire
content will be replaced by the uploaded files from the Nord
Electro 3.

Bank Down
This function will download an entire bank of pianos, samples,
programs or organ presets from the computer hard drive to the Nord
Electro 3 . The default destination will be the currently active bank, but
you may choose another partition and bank if you wish . Click on the
Choose Folder button to select the source on the hard drive .
E The destination bank in the Electro 3 will be replaced by the con-
tent of the source folder.
Backup
This will make a backup of all the Pianos, Samples, Programs, Organ
Presets and Menu settings (System, MIDI & Sound menus) in the Nord
Electro 3 . The file that is created on the hard drive will have the exten-
sion .neb . Backing up the entire memory content in this manner will
take some time, depending on the sizes of the samples .
Backing up from the Nord Electro 3 Manager is done in an incre-
mental manner. Unless you change the name or the location of the
back up file, only the pianos, samples and/or programs/presets
that have been changed since the previous backup will be saved.
The Nord Electro 3 Manager will suggest a location for the backup,
the first time this function is activated (in My Documents/Nord Electro
3 Manager files/) . If you rather save the backup file elsewhere, use the
browser to pick another location .
Restore
To restore a previously saved backup file to the Electro 3, select this
option and browse to a backup file on the hard drive (file extension
.neb) 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
connected Nord Electro 3 will then be irrevocably replaced by the
content of the backup file.
Menus
In the Nord Electro 3 Manager, the usual Windows and Mac OSX
keyboard commands can be used . The menus can be accessed by
pressing the Alt key and the underlined letter in the menu bar .
Most of the commands can also be accessed by pressing the Ctrl (on
the Mac - Command) key together with the letter shown next to the
command name in the menus .
