Store sound and split keyboard

[DAD69]

Hi Pro !
I'm lost when I've to store a sound on a slot where I've already stored something else ... and the keyboard is splitted ?
Thanks in advance !

If you need to store new sounds, you use a Program, not a slot. A Slot is simply a part of a Program (2 slots per program), so it is not where you store new sounds. To store a new sound you need to overwrite or edit an exisiting Program, and this will also save what sounds are in which slot, as well as storing your new splitpoints.

Hi Dad,

Yes, this is common misconception to people who have been playing non-Nord instruments for some years -- a Slot cannot contain a Program. Slots are component parts of Programs. All programs have two slots, A&B, each of which can independently be enabled or disabled.

Bless,

Pablo

Thanks Pablo, I've written Slot as I was thinking program ! . So, let's re-explain my problem ! I've created an organ sound in live mode, and stored it in D01.1 . Then, I've found a nice violin sound in A16.3 . I want to store it in D01.1, but I don't want to erase my previous organ sound. How can I do that ?

If the both the Organ sound in D01.1 and the violin in A16.3 use a single Slot each, you can use the Slot-copy function (keep slot selection switch pressed and select another program/slot) to copy the A16.3 A into the D01.1B
To do tha, select on the D01.1B then perform the slot copy as described (hold theslot selection switch pressed then
Press Bank A and navigate to A16.3 using the encoder)

If any of the two use 2 slots, you can't do it and the only option is to manually merge the 2 sounds (hoping they don't use the same sections/effects) by copying the simplest of the 2 into the most complex, parameter by parameter (in your case I guess the Organ is probably the simplest)

If it is a synth sound in only 1 slot, you can save the current synth (manual page 35), change the program, and load them again (manual page 32).
If it uses the 2 synth slots, you do that twice. That being said, I never use that route.

You should, because your method will save the Synth sound only, (which in itself is OK) not the full slot (i.e. all sections and effects) so it doesn't always work and the risk of overlap of effects settings when "merging" sounds in a new program is always there
