NORD ELECTRO V1.0x
7. Basic MIDI functions: Program and Controller dumps
Page 37
However, in our example this wouldn’t help much, because the Drawbar opening was the first Controller
message recorded in the song. The sequencer has no information about the Drawbar setting before the
recorded change, and therefore cannot “chase” the settings properly. To solve this, you could record a
“snapshot” of all Controller settings of the Nord Electro Program(s) at the beginning of your sequencer
song. This can be done by using the ‘MIDI Controllers Dump’ function described below.

buttons and Program by pressing the corresponding

4. If needed, set the receiving MIDI device to “recording

5. Press the

button to send the dump to the
MIDI

of Nord Electro. The Display will stop flashing
once the dump has been sent.
Note: For Sysex dumps of Organ sounds, the complete settings for the sound will be dumped as MIDI
Sysex. For Piano sounds, all parameters will be sent but NOT the actual instrument samples. There-
fore, when dumping back a Piano Sysex, make sure the actual instrument samples are already loaded
in the Nord Electro. Otherwise the parameters in the Sysex message will be applied to another available
Piano instrument.
