When looking at the display I was always confused that when I am in program A11 and I select a Rhodes sound from the piano section, that after selecting it it still says A11.. confusing if you are a nord newbie hehe
'Program' is the Nord term for what is often called a 'preset'. A program consists of one or multiple assembled samples plus some effects shaping the sound. So I don't consider it a good idea to just switch a piano sample within an program on the fly - you'd need to adapt volume, EQ, compression, reverb plus the effects as well in order to get a new sound. Then the initial program would be totally gone. I don't think that's what you want.
Maybe you got confused because there is a piano sample called 'White Grand' and a program with the same name. But that's absolutely not the same. It's just a sound based on that very sample.
If ever you need a new sound on the fly, just create one from scratch in a free program slot. You'll be able to do that in a minute within some weeks.
I don't own a NP5 but I'm wondering about what you are saying about 'sounds .. not (being) edited' in some programs. They are more or less customized, but probably none of them isn't edited in one or another way.
You’re right, the way I use terms is confusing or wrong.
I meant that the samples from the piano section (which includes piano/upright/e piano.. all those the piano engine has to offer) all have a slot in the programs.
In the nord sound manager, when I click on the Baby upright sample, it shows me a list of programs that uses the baby upright. The program on top of that list uses that baby upright sample and nothing else, is called ‚baby upright‘, no effect, nothing. That’s what I meant by not edited. But I see how that brought up confusion since none of the programs is ‚edited‘ as long as I don’t change the sample that I am using in the piano engine on the left, WHILE having a certain program selected.
I threw down some samples I don’t find so good so I have space for the new Perl Upright (190 mb..) and I don’t believe I’ll need the programs that contained the samples I threw off the NP5. I’ll see.. can always factory reset.
One question tho: when I click on the programs that are colored in yellow after throwing off a sample, and I substitute them for the new sound i added that is similar, will the new sound be EQ‘d in the same way or do I have to do that manually afterwards with the same EQ Settings that we’re used before for the sample?
