NO SOUND after transferring patches to a different instrument

Post by NordProblems »

Hey there,

Im currently working with 2 different Stage 3's and I am trying to move my songs from one to another.

I uploaded to song to my MacBook and then downloaded it to the other Stage 3 and it shows the Song name and the patches inside it but it doesn't play any sound from them.

Any idea why this happened or how to fix it?

Thanks :)

You don't use the Nord speech, so it's a little complicated to understand what happend.

I assume that you mean 'song' by 'song' and 'program' by 'patch'.

Two ideas come to mind immediately:
a) The routing is different - main out isn't where the sound gets to (unlikely);
b) you transferred the songs but either the referenced programs are empty (they aren't necessarily copied along if it wasn't a bundle) or the referenced samples inside the programs don't exist.
Stage-3-C (Rev.B 2.1) - Kawai VPC1 / Viscount Legend 70s / Yamaha CP33 - Hall of Fame & NeoVent2 - Behringer Flow-8 - K&M stands 18820+18811 / 18953+18952 - Samsung Tab S5e, MobileSheetsPro & AirTurn Duo200 - QSC K8.2s / Fischer InEars

Terms:

Program -- a stored combination of all three sections, any samples and settings they use, and both panels.
Song -- a list entry that points at one or more programs.

So you don't move songs, you move programs.

If you moved a program and its samples, check:
- can you see the program samples being referenced in the program window?
- is something else was keeping the second NS3 from making sound? Long list: pedal in wrong input, cables in wrong output, routing set up weird, volume pedal at zero, etc.

I've gone back and forth a bunch between two NS3s, it's pretty straightforward.
I think I have gear issues ....
