Nord Piano 4 Program Question

Post by s1mplem1nds »

Hi ,

I am trying to understand something about the Programs on the Nord Piano 4. Is it possible to save just the piano sound as a program, or are programs more than one sound? Every time I try and save a piano sound, even with the sample synth turned off, it allocates a missing sample that I don't want to use. I just want to save the piano sound maybe a bit or reverb and that's it.. The manual doesn't say whether it has to be two or more sounds..

thank you

A Program always saves the full configuration of the NP4 (except global settings), including each section on/off state and its configuration, so also the currently selected sample.

But that is not a problem when section is off, you can just ignore that fact (and if the missing sample bothers you, just select an existing one before saving); on the other hand it can be useful of you want to save a Program where a section is normally off, but pre-configured and ready to be switched on while playing and without changing the Program
