Selecting Programs
Program are sounds that you have prepared in advance. The basic memory in the Nord Lead contains 99
Programs . 40 of these can be used for storing your own Programs, see below.
There are also four Program slots labelled A to D. The slots can be used for layering and quickly switching
between programs as described below. They are also used when the Nord Lead is played via MIDI.
1. Select a Program Slot to play by pressing one of the four buttons A to D.
When you are only playing one sound at a time, as you are now, you can select any slot.
2. Use the Program Up/Down keys to select a Program for that slot.
Holding down a button scrolls the value quickly. Holding down the Shift key (the button above the Mod-
ulation wheel) while pressing the buttons makes the value change in steps of ten.
There are 99 Programs to select from. If you have a PCMCIA card inserted in the holder on the back (to
do this you must have the expansion card installed), you may have another 297 on this, arranged in three
banks. Dots to the right and between the numeral in the display indicate new Banks.
