Factory Presets and OS

Internal memory

The Operating System, Programs, Pianos and Samples in the Nord

Stage 2 EX are stored in a Flash memory. A Flash memory keeps the

data also when the power is turned off. Another big advantage is that

you can replace data in the Flash memory at any time. This means that

you will be able to download OS upgrades and Programs to your Nord

Stage 2 EX from a computer or sequencer without needing to replace

or add any new hardware. Nord Stage 2 EX also features a USB port

for quick and easy download of new Pianos and Samples. The total

capacity of the Stage 2's Flash memory is 1 Gigabyte for the Pianos

and 384 Megabytes for the Samples.

The internal program memory of the Nord Stage 2 EX consists of 4

Program Banks, each holding 20 Pages with 5 Programs each. This

gives you a total of 400 Programs. There are 5 separate Live programs,

which will continuously store any changes as they are made, and

remember these settings after the power is shut off. Furthermore, the

Synth is capable of storing 300 synthesizer sounds.

The content of Program Bank A is duplicated in Bank D. This allows

you to store any edits you make in either Bank A or D, without risking

to overwrite anything that you might want to keep.

Factory presets

Every factory Program in the Nord Stage 2 EX can be replaced. To

make sure you don't accidentally overwrite Programs you want to

keep, it's a good idea to back up your sounds regularly on a computer.

This is done with the Nord Sound Manager.
