INTERNAL MEMORY
The Operating System, Programs and Piano samples in Nord Electro 2 are stored in a so-called Flash mem-
ory. 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 Electro 2 from a computer or sequencer without needing to replace or add any
new hardware. Nord Electro 2 also features a USB port for quick and easy download of new Piano instru-
ment samples.
The internal sound memory of Nord Electro 2 consists of 6 Banks (A-F) holding 8 Programs each for a total
of 48 Programs.
FACTORY PRESETS
All factory Programs of Nord Electro 2 can be replaced. To make sure you don’t accidentally overwrite
Programs you want to keep, it’s a good idea to back up your sounds regularly on a computer or on a hard-
ware sequencer that can record and play back MIDI Sysex. data. For information on how to back up Pro-
grams please refer to “Dump” on page 39.
