Synth. Select memory location from the list(s) and click Store.

If you want to edit a factory Patch from the instrument’s internal memory, load the desired factory Patch
into a
S
LOT
in Nord Modular G2. A new Patch window will be created in the Editor containing the Patch
of the active
S
LOT
. The Patch window gets the same name as the Patch in the uploaded
S
LOT
when saved
to disk.

The modules are grouped together in module groups.
You access these groups by clicking the tabs in the
toolbar located above the Patch window. The various
modules in each group are distinguished by icons
Select a group tab, click-hold on a module icon and
drag it to the Patch window. When you place the cursor over any of the module buttons, a preview image
of the module appears. Drag the “phantom frame” of the selected module to the Patch window. The oth-
er modules will move, if necessary, when you drop a new one. The modules will automatically snap to a
grid in the Patch window. If you like you could also double-click a module icon to automatically add it
to the Patch window below the currently focused module. The Patch window will expand when needed
and scroll-bars will appear at the bottom and to the right if the Patch window becomes larger than the
available screen area. As you add modules to the Patch window, the Patch Load indicator(s) on the tool-
bar will expand, indicating the use of the Sound engines. Maximum Patch Load is 100% per Patch Area.
