The Program Bundle Upload dialog gives you two choices:
Selection
will create a Program Bundle with the selection of programs
you made in the Sound Manager program list and the pianos and/or
samples that these programs use .
Bank
makes a Bundle of an entire Bank that you select with the
drop-down . This action will probably take a bit longer and the resulting
Bundle will be a bigger file since there may be many more pianos and
samples in this type of Bundle .

Choose the Selection option and click on Upload . In the following
dialog, give the Bundle a meaningful name and find a location on
the computer hard drive .
A Program Bundle file will have the extension .np2pb .
Downloading a Bundle
Here comes the really great part about Bundles . When you download
a Bundle to the instrument, any pianos and samples that the programs
in the Bundle depend on, are downloaded . They will be placed at the
next available location in the piano and/or Samp Lib partition .
M
Pianos and samples are not duplicated if these files are already in
the instrument. The Bundle programs will use the new or existing
locations of the pianos and samples, when they are downloaded
to the free locations in the program partition.

Press the Bundle Down icon in the Toolbar . You can also use the
Bundle Download command from the File menu (Ctrl+Shift+D) .

Open .
After the Manager has verified the files in the Bundle, the Program
Bundle Download dialog will appear .
Click on Show Details if you want to see what programs, pianos
and samples are in the Bundle.
There are two options when you download a Bundle .
Add to bank
will download the program files and add them to the
program bank that you choose in the drop-down menu . The programs
will be placed at the first available locations .
M
If the programs in the Bundle will not fit in the Bank, the process
will not be performed and you will see a dialog. Delete or move
some programs from that Bank and try again.
Replace contents in a bank
will simply delete all programs in the
Bank you choose and download the programs in the Bundle to this
bank instead . The programs will be placed at the same locations as
they had when the bundle was created .
If a bundle will not fit in a bank, this will be presented in the dialog like
in this example where more free locations are needed in the program
bank:
