Getting Started
Let's take a few minutes to get familiar with the Electro 4 HP/SW . 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
Sound and effect settings are stored in the Program memory of the
Nord Electro 4 HP/SW . The Electro 4 HP/SW organizes the memory
in 32 pages with 4 programs in each page, making this a total of 128
programs .
Every program can be changed and replaced as you wish . A complete
set of the factory programs are available on the Nord DVD that accom-
panies the unit and on our website . This allows you to get back to the
factory settings, should you wish to do so, using the Sound Manager .
Selecting programs
Use the Up/Down buttons to the left of the LED display to select the
page and the program buttons 1 ~ 4 to select the programs within
each page . The page and program number will be displayed in the
LED .
When the Electro 4 HP/SW leaves the factory, the first 16 or so pages
are organized to make it easier for you to quickly check out sounds
from specific instrument groups . The 1st programs in each page are
acoustic pianos, the 2nd programs are electric pianos, the 3rd program
are organs and the 4th programs are sample based instruments .
1
Press the Program 1 button to listen to a piano program, 1 .1 .
2
Press the Up button to get
to the next piano program,
2 .1 . Keep pressing the Up
button until you are ready
for the next instrument
group .

Press and hold the Down
button to get back to 1 .1,
and then the Program
2 button to listen to the
electric piano on the 1 .2
location .
4
Press the Up button to get to the next electric piano .
You can of course organize the programs in any order you want . Such
a process can be done quite easily by using the drag and drop features
in the Nord Sound Manager .
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 .
