"Compare" function when editing a program ?

[Projet Xion]

Hi all,

I would like to know if a "compare" function is available when you are editing a sound on the NP4.

When I modify a program I would like to hear the original one in order to compare before saving.

I didn't find again a way to do that.

the only way would be to save as a separate program and switch between old and new.

Yes or to save as a live mode.
But a dedicated function would be more convenient.

If the Stage 3 Program View tool (nord-stage-forum-f3/ns3-program-viewer-t19939.html) will be ever expanded by its authors to the Piano 4, then this could be a way of comparing Programs.

But this won't tell you how it sounds, it would only show you that some parameter is different.

There isn't a dedicated button or anything, but what I do is save a program and when it gives you the option to choose the location navigate away and back to the same location. You can then hear the original patch, hit exit to hear the edit. If you like the edit more than go through with the save.
