ive bought a bundle from patch foundry with 100 patches on. its split into four banks, m,n,o and p
however i cant transfer them to the nord, get the message its 512mb and need to delete some samples.
ive deleted it seems hundreds of samples but still the same message. any ideas?

If you use the Nord sound manager to control the download it will let you know how much memory you have available, and how much you need for the download. I suggest that you try that.

If you don't have enough free space for the whole bundle there is a way to load just individual programs and samples from a bundle into the Stage instead of loading all at once, but it's not very straight forward:

1) copy (not move!) the bundle file to a new directory on your computer (work with this copy from now on to keep the original bundle file unchanged)

2) go to the directory of this copy and change the extension of the copied bundle file from .ns3b to .zip (for example if the name of the original bundle file is xyz.ns3b then rename it to xyz.zip). Ignore the warning (if you are on WIndows)

3) unzip this file with Windows explorer, MAC finder or any unzip program

4) you now have several sub-directories on your harddisk which represent the different sections of the Stage (maybe not all of them as it depends on the content of the bundle), like

- Piano (this holds the samples of the Piano section)
- Samp Lib (this holds the samples of the synth/sample section)
- Synth (this hold the synth preset banks)
- Program (this hold the program banks)
- Live
- Song
- Settings

5) use sound manager to load the needed programs and samples individually into your Stage and try them out
