As for the Synth Section, I would think, that the NS3 and the NE6 have totally different patch programmings, but the Piano Section would be nearly the same - there is no such big difference, or do I misunderstand ??

hi, no I assume you are right, the job could be easy, on the paper the spec are very, very similar (except there is only a panel A), and synth is simplified to sample only, no loo, no arp...)

Maybe the A1 deciphering is much more complex than the Electro 6 or 5 ?
But I like the idea of converting Synth parameters from one machine to the other.
The E6 is just an "engine" to "engine" comparison, no real challenge

Hi
Slowly adding more file support...
Last online version is now able to read NS2/NS3 program/synth bundle and full backup files. Even if the file is very large, I'm downloading only the programs to keep the process fast.

- Supported Files.png (72 KiB) Viewed 4080 times
The main view is also updated to show all the programs/synths like NSM, including a filter/search feature.

I ran into an issue. I wanted to check if all my 2-kb programs are set up in the right manner. But it seems that status isn't covered yet: DualKB or not? 1 engine DualKB or full panel B for remote control? Which engine is controlled from extern?
Is it possible to sort that out? Can I help in any way? Or do I need to derive that info from other hints: The panel B piano engine is active (black) even if the kb zones are all switched off - is it that what indicates the DualKB status?
In any case, I would highly appreciate that feature as it tends to be part of the more complicated structure of my programs: Depending on the DualKB status, I need to change pedals for sustain, control etc. - DualKB with 1 engine uses the Stage 3 pedals, DualKB with full panel B uses the remote pedals, Global MIDI isn't tested yet. That's what makes my use of the NS3C a bit tricky.
BTW, reading a bundled program bank in one shot is a great thing!

Hi, feature is implemented, the DualKb mode is visible in the top right corner next to Master Clock/Transpose/Split. But maybe something is wrong, Wondering if you could share your test program. Thanks!

Thanx also from my side, Christian. The viewer helps me a lot to recreate any stage programs on my NE5 as close as I can get.
Sunny regards from Germany
