Program and CC dumps

To dump a Program SysEx, or MIDI Controller data via MIDI, either to 
another Nord Electro 4 HP/SW or for recording the data into another 
MIDI device, proceed as follows:

Sending program dumps

Connect the MIDI OUT on the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW to the MIDI 
In on the receiving device, or use the USB connection .

Set up the receiving device to accept MIDI SysEx and MIDI Con-
troller data .

Press Shift + MIDI and select the “Dump One” or “Dump All” menu 
item using the Up/Down buttons .

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

Press the Store button to send the dump to the MIDI Out of Nord 
Electro 4 HP/SW . The display will stop flashing once the dump 
has been sent .

 

M

For the programs that use the organ sounds, the complete 
settings for the sound will be dumped as MIDI SysEx but for 
programs using pianos or Samples, all parameters will be sent but 
NOT the actual instrument samples.

Therefore, when dumping back a program that uses a piano sound, 
make sure the actual instrument samples are also available in the Nord 
Electro 4 HP/SW . Otherwise the parameters in the SysEx message will 
be applied to another available piano instrument .

Sending MIDI Controller dumps

Set up as in steps 1 and 2 in the preceding description .

Press Shift + MIDI and select the ‘Send CC” menu item using the 
Up/Down buttons .

Press the Store button to send the dump to the MIDI Out of Nord 
Electro 4 HP/SW . The Display will stop flashing once the dump 
has been sent .

Receive MIDI SysEx dumps

Here is how to receive a MIDI SysEx Dump:

Connect the MIDI Out on the transmitting device to the MIDI IN on 
the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW .

Initiate the transmission on the transmitting device .

If the dump contained all Programs (All), it will replace all programs cur-
rently stored in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW . If the dump contained only 
a single program, it will be temporarily placed in the currently selected 
program memory location . A dot will appear to in the lower, right corner 
to indicate an unsaved edit . You will then have to store the program 
manually to a memory location using the Store function (see “Storing a 
program” on page 10) .
