Storing a Program
1
Press the Store button to the left of the LCD once, to initiate the
process of storing the edited program.
2
The Store LED will begin to flash on and off and the display will
ask you for the location to where you want to store the program.
3
If you want to store the edited version in the same location, re-
placing the original, simply press Store again. If not, use the Bank,
Page and/or Program buttons to select a new location.
E
The program which resides in the selected location will become
active on the keyboard to allow you to play it and verify that you
will not be overwriting something which is important to you.
4
When you have found a suitable location for your program, press
Store again to store your edited program.
M
Press Shift/Exit once to abort an ongoing Store process if you
change your mind.
Read more about Store and Store As, renaming a program and assign-
ing it to a category in the Program chapter, on page 17.
Live Mode
Nord’s Live Mode feature provides you with five temporary program
buffers, any one of which will automatically save program edits for you
on the fly without having to perform a Store operation.
1
If you press the Live Mode button to turn Live Mode on, all chang-
es to the panel settings you make will be continuously stored.
2
If you switch the power off, or select another program, the set-
tings you made are still stored in the 5 Live Mode programs, so
when you power up next time (or return to that particular Live
Mode program) all settings in that Live program will be exactly as
they were when you left them.
If the Live Mode is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program instead, you can do so using the
standard methods (see above).
You can also store programs into anyone of the five Live Mode memory
locations, in which case the program settings will replace that current
Live Mode memory setting.
Press the Live Mode button again to exit the Live Mode and get back
to the normal Programs.
