Nord Electro 3 Program Parameter Dump Script

Postby HansJM » 15 Mar 2017, 23:53

Hello all,

I wrote a Python script to extract the program parameters from Nord Electro 3 program files. The parameters can either be dumped to screen or written to a .csv file for import in Excel. Single and multiple NE3 program files can be parsed as well.

I use the script for documentation purposes and to help with modifying existing programs by exact knowledge of the original parameter settings (especially those which are not visualized on the panel).

The Python script, an Excel template and an example Excel table (NE3 Factory Programs) can be found at GitHub by using the following link: https://github.com/HansJM/NE3-Program-Parameter-Dump

Maybe someone finds this useful.

Best regards,
Hans Juergen

It sounds very interesting, but I have no clue what Python is. What's the learning curve for non-programmers?

Hello Arjan,

Python is a programming language and needs the Python software (here Python 2.7.x) being installed on your computer in order to execute Python scripts. I suggest that you watch a video tutorial on how to download and install Python and how to execute Python scripts, e.g. this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXXlt9bFIuI

If you have further questions please feel free to ask.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the info and YT link. I watched it and decided this is not for me - way too many things for me to do wrong and mess up my dedicated studio PC. I'll have to do without the parameter dump. Thanks again.

Hi Arjan,

I will try to convert my script to an executable program that can be executed directly under Windows without the need to install any additional software. Thus stay tuned!

I added an executable version of my Python script (nepgDump.exe) to the GitHub repository at https://github.com/HansJM/NE3-Program-Parameter-Dump . It can be executed on any Windows PC even without a Python installation.

Please note that the program must be executed from within a command window in order to provide the necessary command line arguments. Typing "nepgDump -h" lists all arguments being supported.

Hi Hans

Well I got as far as the command screen and then whatever I do it says 'too few arguments'. I did somehow end up with a .csv file with headers only, no info. Dunno, must be doing something wrong obviously..
