Getting Started
Let's take a few minutes to get familiar with the Electro 3 . The user interface is designed to be as intuitive as possible, and to perform as well as you
do in a live situation . We hope that you soon will feel confident in using it, and by following this short chapter, we will go through most of the functions .
About the programs
Complete sound settings are stored in the Program memory of the
Nord Electro 3 . This memory area has 128 locations that are numbered
1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, etc up to 64B . Every program can be edited and
replaced as you wish . A complete set of the factory programs are avail-
able on the Nord DVD and on our website .
Select a program
Press the Up or Down button repeatedly until you've selected the
desired program number . The program will be loaded immediately .
Press the Prog A or Prog B buttons to quickly switch between the
program number A or program number B . Press Shift and Up/Down
to scroll continuously in the program bank .
Edit a program
Editing a program is just as easy as grabbing a knob and change a set-
ting, or press a button to select a different setting . The knob's physical
position isn't always as the stored setting in the program that is active,
but as soon as you start turning a knob, the parameter will snap to the
knob's position .
When you have edited a program, a dot will appear in the lower right
display corner next to the program number . This will alert you to the
fact that the program has been edited but not yet saved . If you select a
new program without saving, any edits you have made will be lost and
the program will have its original settings the next time you select it .
Storing a program
If you are happy with an edit that you have
made, you should probably save or Store the
program .
