Hello:

I have been reorganizing my NS3 programs (or presets as I would call them). I used the Nord Sound Manager to add the new Coleman Bundle to see which ones I like. I then decided to finally go through and clear out the programs (or presets) that I never use. The thing is I started to delete the programs I don't use/like directly from the Nord Sound Manager. Now the first available program number I have available in the NS3is A11... Any others that I deleted as skipped over without me being able to add them or have access to them in sequential order..... Does this mean I'm going to have to do a full reset of everything? Or is there a way for me to get access to those programs and consolidate them in sequential order?

Any tricks and tips on this will be much appreciated! Warm regards,

Rod

To further clarify: I selected the "Organize" button in the NSM but the Location numbers are as follows: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 51, 52, 53, 54 and 55... There are 25 available but they are, as you can see, not in sequence... This numbering now applies to all banks from A to P.

Thanks again, Rod

This is the correct order. This ordering change was done with the 1.40 OS update to accommodate two-button program selection.

v1.40 (2018-04-10)
A new Numeric Pad mode is introduced as an optional way of navigating within a program bank. In Numeric Pad mode two presses on the Program 1-5 buttons are used for navigating to any of the 25 programs within the current bank. The program selection mode used – the default Page Based mode, or Numeric Pad – is determined on page 2 of the System Menu. Here are some additional notes:

• In Numeric Pad mode the Page buttons switch between banks.
• The Program dial can be used for switching programs incrementally, just as in Page Based mode.
• Program Selection mode does not affect Song Mode or Live program selection.
• A “num” symbol in the top right corner of the display indicates that Numeric Pad navigation is active.

In order to facilitate the optional Numeric Pad program selection mode (see above), the program bank structure of the Nord Stage 3 has been modified so that banks now contain 25 programs (5 program pages):

• The programs within each bank are numbered 11-15, 21-25, 31-35, 41-45 and 51-55.
• The total number of Program banks is 16, labeled A-P
• The total number of program locations is still 400
• The order in which programs are placed on the Nord Stage 3 is not altered by this update, and Song lists will remain intact.

Thanks @crgafx. I thought it was some sort of bug... But I guess I should have read about the new update in more detail... I can see why they would use this in conjunction with the 5 program buttons and the new Numeric Pad Program. I guess it'll just taking a little getting used to...

Thanks again! Rod

I have been delaying the update because of this. Am I making too big of a deal of it? I have all my patch numbers on my e-music so I guess just update and fix all that?

Well, the update gives you two-button access to 25 programs in Numeric mode, so it can be a big (positive) deal for some And in general, the device usually improves with updates -- so yes, there is sometimes a bit extra work to overcome individual adaptations, but I think that it will be worth it in the end.

At some point your going to have/want to update the OS as more patches/updates are released so I'm not sure you'll want to delay this any longer than you have to.

I believe there are other people that have made the change and it didn't affect the e-music patches, but I'm not 100% on that.
