Program section

The Program section is where
you select the program,
where the Store functions are
activated and where you enter
the system, MIDI and sound
menus.
Up/Down buttons
The Up/Down buttons to the
left of the display have several
functions in the Nord Electro

one of the 128 programs; the

in the display. Press Shift
together with Up/Down to
scroll through every location

If you have activated any of
the three menus, the System,
MIDI or Sound menu, these
buttons are then used to se-
lect a function, and together with the Shift button to change the value
of a selected function. Read more about the menus on page 18.

Prog A - Prog B
After you have selected a program number, you can quickly switch
between program number A and B by using the Prog A and Prog B
buttons.
Live
If you press the Live button, all changes to panel settings you make
will be continuously saved in the "Live Buffer". If you switch the power
off, or select another program, the settings are still stored in the
Live memory, so when you power up next time (or return to the Live
memory) all settings will be exactly as you left them.
If the Live memory is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program you can do so using the stan-
dard methods (see above). You can also store programs into the Live
memory location, in which case the program settings will replace the
current Live memory settings.
Instrument selectors
Press one of the Instrument Selectors to play either the organ or the
piano/sample sounds.
Only the active section will have its corresponding functions lit
and active. It is however possible to e.g. play with the pianos,
and adjust the organ settings, and then quickly activate these by
pressing the organ instrument selector.
Shift
Many buttons have a second function, printed in darker text just below
the button or knob. You access these additional functions and param-
eters by holding Shift while pressing a button.
Octave Shift
The two Octave Shift buttons can be used to transpose the keyboard
two octaves up or down (if the selected instrument supports this). Two
Octave Shift LEDs that are lit at the right or left position indicates +/- 2
octaves shift.
Each instrument in Nord Electro 3 has a finite note range:
• The Organ extends one octave below and one octave above an 88
note keyboard range.
• The Piano and Samples extends one octave below an 88 key range,
but not above.
