Program Change
In the MIDI Menu, you can select if the Nord Stage 2 EX should send
and/or receive program Change messages on the Global channel that
affects its internal programs. Program Change messages with the value
0-99 selects the programs in the active bank, Program Change mes-
sages 100-104 selects the 5 Live memories.
Bank Select
The 4 Program Banks of the Stage 2 EX can be remotely selected via
MIDI, by transmitting a Bank Select Message that looks like this: CC 0,
value 0, CC 32 value 0, 1, 2 or 3 (for banks A, B, C and D). The Bank
Select should immediately be followed by a Program Change message,
value 0-99.
Local On/Off
Local Off can be used to "disconnect" the keyboard and the panel on
the Stage 2 EX from the 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 44.
Panic
If notes should hang using the Nord Stage 2 EX in a MIDI setup, all you
need to do is hold down the Shift button and press the Panic/Program
5 button. This will execute an internal All Notes Off, and reset incoming
CC messages.
