even between say for example, stage 4 and stage 3?
Sound transfers only work between the same models, such as NS3 -> NS3 or NS4 -> NS4.
The program structure and features are pretty different between various models, so there's no automated way to do transfers.

Someone created a really clever program viewer that is helpful for NS2, NS3, NS4 users to visualize the various settings when rebuilding programs between various platforms.
Nords: NE2, NS2 88, NS3 Compact x 2
Live rig: NS3, Vent, Radial KL-8, Shure PSM-900 IEM Rig, UE18 & UE7 IEMs.
Studio: Hammond A-101 & Leslie 122, Yamaha CP-80, Yamaha S90, NS2, DSI Prophet-6, Vent II, Roland JX-8P.

Nope, sorry. In the case of the NS3 -> NS4 the latter is a different machine with different capabilities, doesn't have A/B panels anymore, a whole different FX section and so on. The low-level samples (piano, strings, etc.) can be moved forward, but no programs or patches.

However, I found it pretty easy to recreate (or improve) anything I was doing on the NS3 over to the NS4, as the workflow is utterly simple once you know your way around.
