Hi, new Piano 5 user here. I wonder how to think about the following:
On delivery the library is full and I want to put Soft Grand in the piano. But If I do this I have to delete some sounds and when I do that some programs that contains what I delete will no longer be ok. What would you delete/change in order to minimize "damage" on the programs?

I chose to replace the piano samples that I didn’t like/use much with smaller variants. This way all the programs still work but I got free space for my additions.

The Nord Sound Manager has a handy feature called "Substitute" that will allow you to download a new piano sample to replace one that is in memory and will keep all the program data intact with the new piano sample in place of whatever sample you choose to replace. That's a great way to try out new sounds and if you decide you don't like it, you can just go back to the other sample or try a different one.

For me, I also went through and found anything labeled as "unused" in the Nord Sound Manager (whether piano or other samples) and simply deleted many of these. Particularly sounds that I didn't see myself using. This frees up a bunch of space to add new things.
