Re: Nord A1 Rack
Seemed a very logical step ... but like button?? I think it should've been called Favorites button

Re: Nord A1 Rack
Hi Gustavo,
But it's not a "favorites" function (with which I became familiar in my pre-Nord days from my Motif ES rack). The purpose of this function is not to mark favorite programs for ease of locating them on the fly at a gig.
The purpose of this function is to allow one to temporarily retain multiple versions (up to 50!) of a single program as one tweaks, folds, bends, spindles and mutilates that single program in various different ways before deciding which one is THE ONE you wish to store into program memory.
I think we've all been there.... You have a pretty good program sound, then start messing with it and stumble on something REALLY GREAT. But you can't leave well enough alone and keep messing with it to make it even better, except that in the process you completely lose the REALLY GREAT sound you had ten minutes ago and can't find it back again.
With LIKE, you can find it back again.
Disclaimer: I have not yet laid my hands on an A1 or A1R which has this feature in its OS, so I'm operating solely from Nord's description of the feature, but at first glance this sounds waaaayyy cool, and pretty radical in the grand scheme of things.
Bless,
Pablo

Thanks for the info, having glanced at the description I thought it meant you can store 50 Favorites. If a programmer would've named it, it would've been temp lol

Re: Nord A1 Rack
A memory upgrade? To be able to store more programs? Programs are not data intensive in the same way that files from Nord's Piano and Sample libraries are. I'm not sure that I understand what a memory upgrade would do for this synth.
