The four Program Slots A to D can be thought of as four temporary memories (edit buffers) that you can
load Programs into for playing and editing. When you select one of the Slots you will switch to play the
Program selected for that Slot. For live performance, for example, you can set up each Slot to play a dif-
ferent Program and quickly switch between them by pressing the S
Note! The four Slots share the same internal memory, i.e. a given Program will sound the same regard-
less which Slot you load it to. You could actually load the same Program to all four Slots and edit them
separately. However, as soon as you save the Program again to its original memory location from any
of the Slots, the original Program will be overwritten.

Layering means playing more than one Program at a time. On the Nord Lead 2X you do this by simply
selecting more than one Slot. Note that layering sounds works quite differently on the Nord Rack 2X.
On the Nord Rack 2X all Slots you want to be layered should be set to the same MIDI Channel. It
doesn't matter which Slots are selected or not since all Slots respond to incoming MIDI data all the
time.
