Any settings that you change in the System, Sound, MIDI or Extern menus will take immediate effect on a global basis, and the settings will be
stored until you change them the next time. Enter the menus by holding Shift and pressing the System, Sound, MIDI or Extern button (Program but-
tons 1 to 4). Select a function with the Page 3 and 4 buttons and change the setting with the Value Dial. Exit the menus by pressing the Shift/Exit
button.
M There is one menu setting that doesn't get automatically stored when you power off the Stage 2 EX; the MIDI Local On/Off setting. This always
reverts to Local On every time the Nord Stage 2 EX is powered up.

System Menu

Hold Shift and press Program 1/System to access the System menu
settings. Use the Page 3 and 4 buttons to navigate between the vari-
ous menu items on the System menu. The Value Dial is used to change
settings, the Slot buttons to switch between A and B where applicable.
When you are done, press Exit (Shift) to exit the menu.
Global Transpose

semitone steps. Any setting you make here will be added to the panel
transpose that may be saved with the programs.

increments.

Output Routing
The output routing of the instruments in the Nord Stage 2 EX can be
determined in two different ways, globally, or independently for each
program. In Program mode, the output selections will be stored in
individual programs. When "Global" is selected, the output routings will
be the same for all programs, overriding the routings stored with each
program.
Range: Global (Default), Program

This allows you to set which channel output pairs (or mono output) to
use for the Organ section. If the Output Routing (see above) is set to
"Program", these settings will be saved with the program.
Range: "1 & 2" (Default), "3 & 4", "3" ,"4"
Piano Audio A/B Output

cess the settings for each Slot. If the Output Routing (see above) is set
to "Program", these settings will be saved with the program.

use for the Synth A and B section. Use the Slot A & B buttons to ac-
cess the settings for each Slot. If the Output Routing (see above) is set

Organ Keyboard Trig Point
This setting allows you to change how the Nord Stage 2 EX keyboard
triggers Organ sounds. When "High" is selected, you will trigger organ
sounds before the key is fully depressed. This mode closely mimics the
way a original tonewheel organ works.
Range: High, Low (Default)
Sustain Pedal Type
This allows you to select the type of a connected sustain pedal, in case
the functionality of the pedal is reversed (when the pedal is up, sustain
is on and vice versa). The Auto setting can automatically determine the
pedal type.
Range: Open, Closed, Triple (Nord Triple Pedal), Auto (Default)
Sustain Pedal Func
If you have only one pedal connected at the Sustain Pedal input and
you want to use it as both a Sustain Pedal and a Rotor Speed Pedal,
this setting provides you with three alternatives - Sustain only, Sustain
and Rotor Hold (fast rotor speed only when the pedal is down) and
Sustain and Rotor Toogle (toggles between fast and slow each time the
pedal is used).
Range: Sustain (Default), Sus+RotrHld, Sus+RotrTgl
Rotor/Latch Pedal Type
This allows you to change the type/polarity of a switch pedal connect-
ed to control Rotor/Latch input, in case the functionality of a connected
pedal is reversed. The Auto setting can automatically determine the
pedal type.
Range: Open, Closed, Auto (Default)
Rotor/Latch Pedal Func
This allows you to change the functionality of a switch pedal connected
to the Rotor/Latch input on the Stage 2 EX. Such a pedal can be used
to control the rotor speed or act as a latch/sostenuto pedal. Rotor Hold
means that the Rotor Speed is fast for as long as the pedal is down
