the main area of the Nord sound Manager is the list view, divided into tabs representing the three partitions: Piano, samp lib and Program. With-
in each tab the content of the partition is listed. at the top of the list view is a dropdown Bank selector and at the bottom a Partition Memory Indica-
tor, showing how much of the space within each partition is being used.
towards the top of the application interface is the toolbar, giving you quick access to the operations most commonly performed. sometimes a tool
icon will be grayed out, meaning it doesn’t apply to the currently selected partition.
there is also a top Menu containing all the functionality available from the toolbar and a few more advanced options.

sounds from both the Nord Piano library and the Nord sample library
can freely be downloaded from www.nordkeyboards.com.
the ever growing Nord Piano library features a large variety of grand
pianos and uprights, as well as electric pianos, clavinets and harpsi-
chords. a broad selection of these comes shipped with your instrument,
but you may eventually want to exchange some of these for new sounds,
or perhaps a different size of the same piano sound. to see what sets the
different Nord Piano library sizes apart, see table ”Nord Piano library size
comparison chart” on page 9.
