How to get Stage Classic progran on a Piano 2?

Post by ewidney »

Hi All, new here, first post, It's been years since I had my stage classic. There was a nice pad I used a lot, I think it was the "Slow Pad" program, but it was an exact replica of the "Warmer" voice on the Yamaha EX5.

I'm playing again, and the house gear is a Piano 2. I can make changes to it, I'm the only one playing it.

I have sound manager. Is it possible to load samples and their program from a stage classic data set into a piano 2 sample library and use the program?

Thanks for any pointers!

Hi and welcome!

Short answer:

What you are looking for is not possible, with one exception.

Long answer:

You cannot transfer programs from a Nord Stage to a Nord Piano, it’s even not possible to transfer programs from one Nord Stage generation to the next one because of different technologies and capabilities. With regards to samples, which you mentioned as well, I wonder which kind of samples you refer to them since the Stage Classic was not able to load any samples from the Nord sample library, just the Piano samples. And here comes the exception I mentioned above: you can load the same piano samples, which you used on the Stage, from the Nord Piano Linrary and transfer them into the Nord Piano 2, but just the raw samples - programs using these samples have to be re-created on the Piano 2.

Hi ewidney

Although you cant load anything from the stage classic to a piano 2 as already mentioned.

You could load a nord sample of a synth pad, There are plenty on the nord site to choose from,
And they are very good. Im sure you could create something similar and posibly better than you used before.
Heres a link to the Nord samples.
Cheers Norm
