DITING A ROGRAM
Actually, how to change a programmed sound can be described in one sentence: "tweak the knobs
and press the buttons". It is as simple as that! Don't be afraid to edit and overwrite the factory Pro-
grams. If you want to restore any of the original factory programs later, you can download them at
http://www.nordkeyboards.com and transfer them to your Nord Stage EX as MIDI SysEx files or use
the Nord Sound Manager to reload them. To indicate that a Program has been edited (changed from
the stored version), an asterisk (*) is shown to the right of the Program number in the D
R
EVERTING TO THE ORIGINAL
If you have edited a Program and want to revert to the stored original, just press the corresponding
P button again.

CTIVATING INSTRUMENT SECTIONS
There are three main instrument sections in Nord Stage EX: the Organ section,
the Piano section and the Synth section. You can activate/deactivate instrument
sections in the following ways:
• Pressing the KB Z
that one or more of the LEDs lights up will activate the corresponding instrument. If all LEDs are
lit, the instrument will play across the whole range of the keyboard. Any other active instrument(s)
will in this case be layered with the instrument you just activated.
• Pressing the KB Z
will turn off the corresponding section.
• For information on how to use splits see the chapter
page 56.
