Consider a situation where you record a Controller message, e.g. a Drawbar opening, in the middle of
your sequencer song. Then you “rewind” the sequencer to a position before the recorded Drawbar open-
ing. The problem is that the Nord Electro’s Drawbar will remain opened, although it really should be as
it was before you recorded the opening. To solve such problems, several sequencers include a function
called “Controller Chasing”, which keeps track of Controller changes and tries to adjust the settings on
the instrument according to the current position in the sequencer song.
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. In these situations you can use the ‘dump all MIDI Controllers’ function.

If notes should “hang” or the Nord Electro should behave strange, all you
need to do is hold down the
S
HIFT
button and press the

(PANIC) buttons. This will execute an internal All Notes Off, and
reset certain parameters to their normal values.
