Stage 3 88 Hire for European Tour

Post by solmaster »

:keyboard2: Hi Guys,
I own a Stage 3 88 (which I love to bits!) and among other things, I play keys for a 1970's Glam Rock theatrical show which is about to go on tour in the UK and then hopefully Germany later in the year.
In the UK, I can obviously use my own keyboard. I have spent rather a lot of time programming patches and putting them into Songs. (Song mode for the Medleys, combined with a Boss up/down footswitch is so useful!)
My question is this - How do I transfer my programs/set-ups onto a hired Stage 3 for any potential European tour? Nord Sound Manager? USB flash Drive?
Has anyone done this? I would really appreciate any advice on this. I do apologise if this has been asked before!

I would say use the backup/restore feature of the Nord Sound Manager which you can carry with you on a laptop, this way you can setup the hire device just like yours. But I'm a bit new to this so please wait for confirmation from the more experienced ;)

Yes, a backup and Restore is the best approach.
Just ensure that the Unit you Hire has the relevant OS before you Restore.

Good luck with the Tour....
