Hi,
I have simultaneously connected my NS2Ex-88 and my NS3C to my computer. I am looking for a way to chose the instrument when using Sound Manager, currently the software defaults to the NS3C when both Stages are switched on. Odes anyone know how to switch between these two instruments in Sound Manager?

Re: Sound Manager - switch between NS2 and NS3
Dont think there will be a switch between them, unless pluging/ unpluging usb connector.
Never tried but u can use 7.42.and 7 40 different Managers at the same time.
When the first Manager is synchronised with Ns2 another one will reconnect to the Ns3.
(Not 100% sure but give it a try)

Re: Sound Manager - switch between NS2 and NS3
Nord Sound Manager can only work with a single Nord instrument connected at a time.
If you need to keep both connected to the computer and want to avoid unpluggin, you may use one of those USB hubs with an on/off switch on each port.

Hi all,
thought so, thanks for the confirmation. What I will do is running a virtual machine on my computer with Windows sound manager and have one of the Nords connected to this VM, then run sound manager on the computer for the other NS ...bit complicated but maybe Nord will provide the option to choose between different Nords when they are all connected to the computer, I don’t think that I’m the only one who is doing that?
