Hello - thanks, but how do you assign your new instrument to a program?

Yea but how do you find it on the nord after you download it? On the computer it says unused and I don't see it in the program section. I know I can substitute an existing sound but I would like to know where it goes when I do it as shown in the video. Any suggestions?

On the older rack modules, can you update the sounds like this still?

Great video! Do you have to keep the computer plugged in or can you save it to the keyboard?

I would like to ask if it works in WIN8? Also should I download the file manager before I download those sounds?

Ok, thank you but now we need a tutorial about the editor please :p

That's NOT all there is too it!  You guys left out the part about going to the editor on the actual keyboard. Don't assume someone already knows this.

Make at least one piano sound available for Nord Lead A1 please!!!! just one!!!

Totally misleading video. If only is were that straightforward. Maybe that's how it worked back in 2014, but not now. You have to pick an existing program you don't want, link the downloaded sound to it, then rename the Program to the new sound, (if you ever want to be able to find it again). You'd think when you download a new piano sound, that a new program would appear on the Nord with that sound. It doesn't.
