Transferring sounds from Nord Stage 2EX to Nord Stage HA 88

Post by LornaSkinner »

I have a Nord Stage 2 EX and I am hiring a Nord Stage 2 HA 88 and wanting to transfer my favourite sounds from the EX to the HA.
I understand that the HA only has 1 GB of memory whereas my Stage 2 EX has 2 GB memory.
I have uploaded a full snapshot of my Nord Stage 2 EX to a .ns2exb file.
My Question is: As there is not enough memory to 'restore' a full snapshot to the HA 88, is it possible to 'restore' a selection of sounds to the HA 88 using my mac and Nord Stage Manager Software?

Many thanks,
Lorna

Hi and welcome to NUF :-)

you cannot do that with the NSM but you can copy+rename the backup as .zip and unzip it, to retrieve individual programs and samples

Another alternative (and what I'd rather do if I were in your shoes) is the following: before doing the backup, use NSM to Substitute the Piano samples on your NS2EX with smaller versions (and/or removing unused ones) to keep the Piano Samples memory occupancy within 500MB (this is the size on NS2 and NS2EX is 1GB, per specs) and then do the backup
