Up/Down Buttons
The Up/Down Buttons to the left of the display have several functions
in the Nord C2D . Press repeatedly to select one of the 126 programs .
The name and number of the program will be presented in the display .
If you have activated any of the menus, the System, Sound or Pluck/
Release menu, these buttons are then used to select a function, and
together with the Shift button, to change the value of a selected func-
tion . Read more about the menus on page 19 .
Display
The LCD display will show the active program number and the name of
the program .
If you edit the settings of a program, an asterisk will appear next to the
Program number to alert you that the program has been edited and not
stored .
If you have activated any of the three menus, the System, Sound or
Pluck/Release menu, the parameter and the setting for each menu
item is shown in the display .
Live
If you press the Live button, all changes to panel settings you make
will be continuously saved in the “Live Buffer” . If you switch the power
off, or select another program, the settings are still stored in the live
memory, so when you power up next time (or return to the live memory)
all settings will be exactly as you left them .
If the live memory is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program you can do so using the stan-
dard methods (see above) . You can also store programs into the live
memory location, in which case the program settings will replace the
current live memory settings .
