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.
Restoring the factory content
The Nord Stage 2 EX factory setup is available as a Sound Manager
backup file downloadable from the www.nordkeyboards.com web site.
OS upgrades
The latest OS version for Nord Stage 2 EX is available for download at:
www.nordkeyboards.com. Since the operating system can be updated
to include new and/or improved functionality, please visit our web site
from time to time to check if a new OS is available.
