Nord Sound Manager

Info pane

The Info pane brings up additional information about the program/sound dependencies. When browsing the programs, the associated pianos and samples are shown and if browsing pianos or samples, you will see a list of programs that use these sounds.

Replace

Replace allows you to replace a selected piano or a sample in your instrument and make sure that your existing programs will use the new sound instead.

Relink

The Relink feature is used if you want one or several selected programs to use another piano or sample instead of the current. The Relink features can also be very useful if a piano or sample is absent in the Nord, to repair programs that are missing a component.

Bundles

The Bundle-feature lets you pack together everything needed for one or more sounds (program, samples, pianos) to a single file on your computer. Very nice for backing up your stuff selectively or for sharing sounds you've created with others. When transferring a bundle back to your Nord instrument the Nord Sound Manager will only transfer the pianos and samples that aren't already present.

Export Sound Lists

You can create detailed lists in HTML-format of the contents of your instrument, including the names, locations and sizes of pianos and samples and program dependencies.

The files are automatically transferred to you Nord instrument and has an intelligent Download Queue functionality for transferring many sounds at a time.

Nord Sound Manager can transfer sounds from the Nord Piano Library, Nord Sample Library 2.0, Nord Sample Library 3.0 as well as sample instruments you've created yourself in the Nord Sample Editor. The Nord Sound Manager also lets you transfer program files from your instrument to your computer.

The Organize Mode lets you move, duplicate, rearrange and rename your sounds and programs. You might want to put them in chronological order for the next show, or perhaps arrange them after in a special order that only makes sense to you and a select group of friends.
