OS
INTERNAL MEMORY
The Operating System, Programs and Piano samples in Nord Stage are stored in a so-called Flash memory.
A Flash memory keeps the data also when the power is shut off. Another big advantage is that you can
replace data in the Flash memory at any time. This means that you will be able to download OS upgrades
and Programs to your Nord Stage from a computer or sequencer without needing to replace or add any
new hardware. Nord Stage also features a USB port for quick and easy download of new Piano instrument
samples.
The internal sound memory of Nord Stage consists of 21 Banks holding 6 Programs each for a total of 126
Programs. In addition there are the two Live buffer memories, which will continuously store any changes
as they are made, and remember these settings after the power is shut off.
FACTORY PRESETS
All factory Programs of Nord Stage can be replaced. To make sure you don’t accidentally overwrite Pro-
grams you want to keep, it’s a good idea to back up your sounds regularly on a computer or on a hardware
sequencer that can record and play back MIDI SysEx. data. For information on how to back up Programs
please refer to “Sending Program dumps” on page 68.
