BACKING UP AND RESTORING YOUR

NORD ELECTRO 5

Programs created on your Electro 5 can be backed up to your computer, either individually as

.ne5p ﬁles or bundled together in the .ne5pb format. A Bundle will also include all the sounds

and samples used for that selection of Programs.

SOUND UP AND SOUND DOWN

To upload as indivudal ﬁles, select the Programs, pianos or samples you want from the list of their

respective tabs and click Sound Up in the toolbar and a dialog will open. You now have the

choice to upload the selection you’ve made, or an entire bank. Make your desicion and then

browse to the folder where you want your selection to be stored.

To download pianos, samples or Programs to the Nord Electro 5 select the relevant tab and click

the Sound Down button of the toolbar. The source area within the following dialog gives you the

option to browse for ﬁles or a folder containing ﬁles of the type you want. In the destination area

you decide whether to add the downloaded ﬁles to an existing bank or replace the entire content

of the bank you choose.

BUNDLE UP AND BUNDLE DOWN

To upload a Bundle make the selection of Programs you want to upload and click Bundle Up in

the toolbar. The following dialog gives you the choice of uploading either your selection or any of

the Program banks. Select one of the two options and then browse to the folder where the Bun-

dle should be stored.

In order to transfer a Bundle to the Nord Electro 5, select the Program tab and use the dropdown

menu at the top of the tab view to select which bank you want to add the Bundle content to.

Press the Bundle Down button of the toolbar and a dialog will ask you to locate a Bundle (.

ne5pb) ﬁle. Once you have selected a ﬁle, the Nord Sound Manager will verify that it contains

valid Programs and sounds. You can then select whether to add the content of the Bundle to the

bank you have selected, or replace the content of a bank of your choice.

BACKUP AND RESTORE

You can also make a full backup of your entire instrument, including its Programs, Set Lists and

all pianos and samples. To do this, click the Backup button of the toolbar. Select a location for

your backup ﬁle, and optionally change its name. By default it will be named ”Backup YYYY-MM-

DD.ne5b”. Click Save to begin the backup process, which may take a little while to complete.

To restore your Nord Electro 5 from a backup ﬁle, click Restore in the toolbar. Browse to the

backup (.ne5b) ﬁle that you want to restore from and click Open. A dialog will appear, asking you

to conﬁrm the restore operation. Within this dialog you can also click on the Show Details button

to see the exact content and settings of the backup. Click Restore to go through with the restore

operation.
