(LOCAL) buttons to enter
the MIDI Local on/off function. Here you set whether the
Nord Electro keyboard and front panel controls should con-
trol internal Programs or only send MIDI. Local On is the
normal “play mode”. In Local Off mode, the front panel and
keyboard actions are transmitted via MIDI only and does
not control the internal sound(s) at all. (The MIDI In works
as usual, though.)
Local Off should be used when you use a sequencer to
record and play back from Nord Electro. When using a se-
quencer, you connect the MIDI Out of Nord Electro to the
sequencer’s MIDI In. Then, from the sequencer’s MIDI
Out back to the Nord Electro’s MIDI In. Since the sequenc-
er echoes back incoming MIDI data, Nord Electro will respond normally to your playing and knob
tweaking via the MIDI “loop”. If you use Local On in the sequencer setup described above, you will get
double-notes when you play: from the keyboard internally and via the MIDI “loop”. This is not what
you want. Therefore, always use Local Off together with sequencers.
Select Local On or Local Off with the

4
(TUNE) buttons to enter the Master
Tune function.
1.
Play one “reference” note on the keyboard. This note
will be the only note you can hear during the tuning.
No other note will sound if you play other keys. This
is because the tuning process for the vast amount of
samples in the Piano instruments is quite processor
demanding.
2. Change the master tune, in cents, with the
U

buttons. When you play the reference note you can hear the pitch change. ‘0’ is normal
440Hz tuning. The range is +/- 1 semitone in steps of 1 cent (hundreds of a semitone).
3. Exit by pressing the
S
HIFT
button. The Display will flash for a few seconds while the entire instru-
ment is being tuned.
