Storing presets to program banks

Post by Simon2027 »

Hi,
New to Nord and just trying to set up my NS4.
I'd like to take some presets and store them to empty program bank slots but it seems I can only store presets to preset locations, bank locations to bank locations, live to live.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Welcome! On the Nord Stage 4, that behavior is by design — Preset, Program (Bank), and Live locations are separate memory areas and you can’t directly store a Preset into an empty Program slot.

Workaround:

Load the Preset you want.

Make any small edit (even toggling a parameter).

Press Store and choose a Program (Bank) location to save it there.

Once it’s edited, the keyboard treats it as a Program and allows storing to bank slots. This is the standard Nord workflow :keyboard:

Thank you
Simple, but if you don't know, you don't know.

Much appreciated.
