Bank Select; Keyboard Velocity - nord Stage 3 User Manual

3
Select the Program on the Nord Stage 3 that you wish to use.
4
Start the recording on the sequencer.
the MIdI output on the global channel will not care about any splits; it
will produce MIdI note numbers from the entire Stage keyboard.
M If any Transpose value is applied, either by the on-panel Transpose
function or the Global Transpose setting in the System menu, its
effect on MIDI depends on the "Transpose MIDI at" setting in the
MIDI menu. This setting is further described on page 54.
PrograM CHaNge
Incoming Program Change messages on the global MIdI channel
will change the programs on the Nord Stage 3 if the MIdI Prog Mode
parameter in the MIdI Menu is set to Receive or Send/Receive. this pa-
rameter also governs if Program Change messages should be transmit-
ted when a program is selected from the Nord Stage 3 panel.
M If you want to transmit program change messages to external units,
use the Extern section.
MeSSageS
the following MIdI messages can be transmitted and received by the
Nord Stage 3:
Note oN/oFF
• Note on and Note off messages are transmitted and received.
PItCH BeNd
• Pitch Bend messages are transmitted and received.
CoNtrollerS
From the MIdI Menu (see page 54), it can be determined whether the
Nord Stage 3 should transmit and/or receive Control Change messages.
• If a Control/expression pedal is connected to the organ Swell Input,
this is transmitted and received as Controller 4.
• If a Control/expression pedal is connected to the Control Pedal Input,
this is transmitted and received as Controller 11 (expression).
• If a sustain pedal is connected to the Sustain Pedal Input, this is trans-
mitted and received as Controller 64 (Sustain Pedal).
• almost all other controls (knobs and buttons) on the front panel are
also transmitted and received as Control Change messages. this can
be used for recording front panel actions into a MIdI sequencer. For a
full list of which parameters correspond to which Controller number,
refer to page 58.

KeYBoard veloCItY

the Nord Stage 3 can transmit and receive Keyboard velocity messag-
es. organ sounds will always be played back at nominal level regardless
of incoming MIdI velocity data. release velocity is transmitted, but
ignored on MIdI In.
aFtertoUCH
the Nord Stage 3 keyboard can transmit aftertouch messages (some-
times reffered to as channel pressure). this is done by applying more
pressure on a key while it is down, which generates a signal that can be
used to control parameters.
PrograM CHaNge
In the MIdI Menu, you can select if the Nord Stage 3 should send and/
or receive program Change messages on the global channel that affects
its internal programs. Program Change messages with the value 0-49
selects the programs in the active bank, Program Change messages
50-54 selects the 5 live memories.

BaNK SeleCt

the eight program banks of the Stage 3 can be remotely selected via
MIdI, by transmitting a Bank Select message that looks like this: CC
0, value 0, CC 32 value 0-7 (representing banks 1-8). the Bank Select
message should then be followed by a Program Change message,
value 0-49.
loCal oN/oFF
local off can be used to "disconnect" the keyboard and the panel on
the Nord Stage 3 from its sound engines. turn local off if you experi-
ence "double-triggered" notes when you play; both from the keyboard
internally and via the MIdI "loop". local on/off is set in the MIdI menu,
which is described on page 54.
PaNIC
If you experience hanging notes when using the
Nord Stage 3 in a MIdI setup, or if all sound should
be terminated for some other reason, use the PANIC
(Shift + transpose) function. this will execute an
internal "all Notes off" message, and reset incoming
CC messages.
