Hiring Nord while touring

Post by laurenldn »

Hi All!

I was wondering if I could get advice on this topic..
I own a Nord Stage 2 EX COMPACT and I'm going to be touring soon. Apparently most rental company will only stock an 88 Nord Stage 2... will it still work if I transfer my bundles onto it? Is it compatible?

Best,

100% compatible, they're exactly the same instrument, the only difference is the keybed.

No effects, the splits are saved as part of the Program, so they will remain exactly the same.
In fact, going from 73 keys to 88 you will have more space available!

The only thing to be aware of is the additional internal storage on the EX — if your bundles contain copious amounts of samples and pianos, you may run into space issues on a regular non-EX Stage 2.

But if you're within those limits, yes: they're completely compatible.
