Hello,
I have a Nord Stage 3.

Is it possible to automatically organize songs alphabetically with Manager?

And is it possible to copy a song to multiple banks at once? For example, to have one bank where they are listed alphabetically, and another in which I can organize them to create a concert setlist?

Thank you.

You can upload the patches to your computer, then delete them on your Nord and then load them back in, if you want to sort your programs.

Better:
Use song mode - a great feature which is explained here:

I do not know of any way to duplicate a Song to a separate location/Bank and keep the same Song name. The name will have to be different and it will be seen as a separate Song by the system.

Yes, there is a way to arrange your Songs in order with Sound Manager if you have fewer than 200 Songs.

- Enable Dual View and Organize
- Set the left pane to sort the Songs in Bank order
- Set the right pane to sort the Songs in Alphabetical order
- Make sure you have enough contiguous space on the left panel to make a complete copy of your Songs.
- Select all the Songs from the right panel that are in alphabetical order and drag them to the open space on the left panel.
- Your Songs will now be in alphabetical order on your NS3.

I'm not sure what type of workflow you are looking to achieve, but I always keep a Surface Pro tablet with me. My band never plays the same set list from one show to the next, so my process is to create a setlist and back it up for each show for a weekend then download the evening's setlist to my two NS3s prior to sound check. I keep the songs in show order at the top, and the remainder of the songs that aren't in the show at the bottom in alphabetical order.

Hello,
That's exactly what I want to do. Different setlists depending on the show, with songs we play and songs we keep in reserve.
I'll watch the video in song mode.
Thanks for your help.

Great! Since the backup files are around 2.5 GB I rename and reuse a set of three backup files from week-to-week to conserve space. Those files are synced to my OneDrive account for backup and use from other computers if needed.
