I've begun the painful process of converting over to Stage 4s from Stage 3s.

I'm not a programmer. I need some sounds that I had on my Stage 3 redone as a Stage 4 patch. I still have my Stage 3 compact (HP76 just sold), and can provide either a backup or the individual patches in Stage 3 format.

Happy to pay someone to do the conversion work.

I'm sorry I can't help as I don't yet have a NS4. For others to consider, how many NS3 programs need to be converted? Nord Sound Manager can output lists including a Program list that will show the Piano and Synth samples used for each program. "Not used" in a Synth column indicates a different synth wave besides a sample might be used with programming needed. The Sample Library list will show the NSMP3 samples loaded in your NS3 and how many programs are using them. Any user-created NSMP3 samples would have to be provided in the bundle and NSM will convert them to NSMP4 format. However, it's possible you are using some Nord NSMP3 samples that aren't yet available in NSMP4 format, and some new NS4 owners have had to sample their NS3 to cover those until Clavia updates their Sample Library. Both lists would help anyone estimating the work needed. Good luck to you.

I'm like you, I have decided I prefer spending time to program new sounds so, I will keep my NS2 with all the hundreds of songs that are prepared and I will buy a nord stage 4 when a lot of new songs would have been created on thew forum. That the same reason I keep my older synths, like the Matrix 1000, the Proteus 2000 and the D50 or TX802. Ok, it takes room but in the basement that is the recoding place, I'm good with that...And I bring racks when i gig and two people to help.

Shouldn't be a big problem to reprogram the patches.
The bigger problem might be to find programmers who own both a NS2 and a NS4.
I still have my NS2 until I'll have converted my patches to my new NS4. Later I'll sell it.

I am currently doing exactly that and would be interested in working on yours. email me at frankiearandazzo@gmail.com. I have a 2, 3, and 4. Thanks!
