So it's basically like a quick go-to in the event that something unexpected arose of which you did not have time to prepare for.

Well, I sometimes use this when playing live in a new setting, where I may need e.g. a couple of EPs and an AP and an organ or some such with some slight tweaks compared to the sounds I normally use. So I load the base setting, and tweak it to the room and the band, and store it to a live location. Then I know it's there all evening, and I can tweak it a bit as I play, change to another live setting and then come back to the previous ones. I may not need those particular settings other than for that gig, and live mode is useful for this (for me).

It is a bit like a memory/program type where you tweak a sound and remains as you left it when you come back to it (no need to save it).
Normally if you load a given program and you edit it, if you go to a new/different program location, and return to the original, it loads the settings that were stored when you saved it, not the temporary editing you might have done last time.
The live mode is always saved in the state it was left (without having to "Store" the sound). Of course you could save that into a different (non-Live mode) location. So if you have a really nice sound in Live mode that you want to keep, better to store it elsewhere in a permanent location, because as soon as you tweak it, you won't be able to come back to it (unless you undo by hand the tweaks, of course).

I don't use it at all. I just use a boss fs6 dual switch to navigate between programs, etc, I organise my workflow through Nord Sound Manager so that it's more comfortable for my needs. you'll find this yourself that it's a scalable, adaptable instrument. In laymans terms, it's a mellotron with extras, as it's basically a sampler keyboard with an open framework for nearly everything.

Cheers Lew,

OK, I hear you dude!; I'll totally sack it off.

So you use a Boss FS6 to step thru your patches, presumably so you can continue playing with both hands?:

I have spent about 3 hours tonight on the Nord Sound Manager - that's how I replaced all of the M pianos with XL files.

Maybe I could come and watch you on one your gigs if you are near to the Wirral sometime?

Thanks baekgaard,

For instance, you may just attenuate the reverb and/or EQ as a one-of, exclusively for that particular venue.

From then on, I supposed you could even save them to a more permanent location when you get home if you play at that venue on a regular basis?

Does the FS6 require a battery? A bit of a waste in this case? I thought that any pair of passive momentarily pair of switches would do it, or am I wrong?

Cheers Mr G,

Yes, if you perfect a 'live' program and then, before the gig, unwittingly nudge one of the potentiometers, you will have scuppered your preset! - and may not have an adequate opportunity to correct it before your performance commences.

Yep you got it spot on now. I rarely use the Live mode in the NS2, but I think it is a good idea to have it.
