Move files from NP4 to NP5

Postby IdahoChurchGuy » 04 Feb 2023, 16:28

Hi all, our church recently purchased a Nord PIano 5 (YAY!). We've been previously using my personal Nord Piano 4, and I have tons of performance settings for different songs stored in the NP4. I'd like to duplicate these in the new NP5 as they sound pretty good. Instead of going through and re-creating each one on the NP5 then storing them, is there a way to transfer them from the NP4 to the NP5? I just downloaded the newest Nord Sound Manager, and uploaded all the songs from the 4 via bundle to my laptop, but when I plug into the NP5, they don't show up as available bundles to download.

Help! -Rick

It's not possible. The NP4 and the NP5 have different architecture and different brains.

Thanks for the reply! Not good news but at least I now know how to proceed. I appreciate it.

Hello, and welcome to the Forum! Using the Nord Sound Manager you can make a list of all programs and pianos/samples used. The Nord pianos and updated Nord samples (NSMP4 format) will be in the NP5, and if you use third-party or user-created NSMP3 samples in your NP4, they will be converted to NSMP4 format when you load them with Nord Sound Manager. To get to everything used easily without searching on your laptop, you can rename your NP4 backup file to end in ".zip" to get to all of the files. Good luck to you!

Congrats on the upgrade! I just went from NP4 to NP5. I found the NP5 way more capable, so that means I had to sit down and re-engineer all my required programs. The samples came across, naturally, but now there are two piano engines, two sample engines, some new effect options and so on. It took several hours, but it all sounds great!
I think I have gear issues ....
