Difference between Backup and download a bundle

Post by Mulch »

Hello,
what is the difference between a complete backup and downloading a bundle concerning the Nord electro 4 73 SW. What is not stored in a bundle compared to a complete backup.
Many thanks for your help.

Complete backup stores all programs, all pianos, all samples. It is a complete load.

A bundle can contain any number of programs (1, 2, 43, 127...) and will include in the resulting file all of the pianos and samples needed to correctly recreate the programs selected.

Complete backup is goof-proof, but will take some time to write/load.
By using Bundle and selecting only the few programs you may need at the moment, you can save much time.

Bless, Pablo

Many times, I will just upload the programs themselves to my computer after a programming session. This is very quick and does not save the associated samples. I know what they are, so as long as I don't move anything, it works fine-

Yes, DJ is 100% correct. Uploading programs only will be a big time saver when working at home on one's own instrument. The real benefit of the BUNDLE feature comes into play when wanting to play those programs on another instrument, e.g. sharing programs with this forum for the benefit of others, or when traveling to a remote location without one's instrument and using a backline rental instrument.
