Introduction
Thank you!
We'd first like to thank you for purchasing the Nord Electro 3 . Our
goal when we developed the Nord Electro instruments was to create
the best emulations of traditional electromechanical keyboard instru-
ments on the market, and to make these instruments compact and
lightweight . With the Electro 3 we have taken our commitment a step
further, by upgrading the organ, the piano and the effects sections and
also by introducing the ability to use sampled instruments from the
Nord Sample Library in the Nord Electro 3 .
This allows us to e .g . include some of the fabulous Mellotron sounds in
the factory sound bank . Each and every piano and sample in the Nord
Electro 3 can be replaced by you, using the free Nord Electro 3 Sound
Manager application . New pianos and other sounds are found on the
enclosed Nord DVD and on the www.nordkeyboards.com web site .
No compromises, just a good selection of outstanding, classic key-
board sounds with true feel, from a natural keyboard response to the
authentic sound quality – that is what we have been pursuing during
the development . To make a great tool you have to put all the focus on
a few things and that is exactly what we tried to achieve . We hope that
you will have as much fun owning and using the instrument, as we had
developing it .

you can replace data in the Flash memory at any time . This means that
you will be able to download OS upgrades, pianos and samples and
programs to your Nord Electro 3 from a computer . The Nord Electro 3
features a USB port for quick and easy download of new piano and/or
instrument samples .

The internal sound memory of Nord Electro 3 consists of 128 pro-
grams, numbered 1A, 1B, 2A . 2B ~ 64B . In addition there is the Live

made, and remember these settings after the power is turned off .
