Info

Activating .Info .brings .up .an .information .area .to .the .right .of .the .list . .

The .Info .area .will .show .if .a .selected .piano .or .a .sample .is .used .in .any .
Programs, .or .what .pianos .and .samples .are .used .in .any .selected .
Programs . .This .provides .you .with .an .excellent .way .of .keeping .track .of .
how .the .content .components .in .the .Nord .Electro .4HP .depends .on .
each .other . . .

Let’s .say .you .need .to .delete .some .of .the .factory .samples .to .make .
room .for .new .samples . .By .selecting .a .sample .in .the .Samp .Lib .partition .
and .activating .Info, .you .can .see .which .of .the .programs .that .would .be .
affected .by .such .a .deletion .(or .replacement) .

Organize

When .this .option .is .active, .the .lists .will .show .all .the .available .locations .
in .the .selected .partition/bank .and .not .only .the .occupied .ones . .This .will .
for .instance .make .it .possible .to .drag .a .file .to .a .specific .free .location .in .
the .middle .of .the .list . .If .this .is .inactive, .only .the .occupied .locations .will .
be .shown .and .re-arranging .the .order .is .not .possible .

Dual View

When .this .option .is .checked, .the .window .(if .set .to .display .the .Program .
partition) .will .be .divided .in .two .lists . .You .can .make .the .lists .show .sepa-
rate .banks .with .the .drop-downs . .Rearranging .programs .is .simply .a .
matter .of .drag .and .drop . .Drag .a .program .from .one .bank/list .to .another .
bank/list .in .either .direction .

Auto Select

With .this .function .active, .scrolling .through .the .piano .or .program .list .
with .the .computer .keyboard .arrow .keys .will .automatically .select .the .
sound .in .the .Nord .Electro .4HP . .

Rename 

This .allows .you .to .rename .
a .Program .and .assign .a .
Category .to .it . .16 .char-
acters .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 .Sound .
