Getting Started
Let's take a few minutes to get familiar with the Nord Piano 2. 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 in this short chapter, we will go through most of the functions.
About the programs
Complete settings of every function on the panel are stored in the
Program memory of the Nord Piano 2. This memory area has 240
locations that are organized in 2 Banks (A & B), each Bank with 24
Pages, with 5 programs in each page. Every program can be edited
and replaced as you wish. A complete set of the factory programs are
available on the Nord DVD and on the Nordkeyboards.com web site.
