In this scenario, the Nord Electro 5 is set up to receive MIdI on Part Upper, using an external key-
board to play its corresponding sound engine. Part lower is played with the keyboard of the Nord
Electro 5, using one of the remaining sound engines. In this setup, Part lower will utilize the entire
keyboard of the Nord Electro 5 and Part Upper can only be addressed through MIdI sent to the
Upper split channel.

WItH a sEQUENcEr
there are a few different ways in which you could set up the Nord Electro 5 together with a
sequencer. You could either simply use it as a controller keyboard (see scenario 1) to control
software synths in a daW setup, or use the sequencer for recording of MIdI data, in turn played
back by the Nord Electro 5.
the most common way of doing this would be to use the global MIdI channel both for sending
MIdI from the Electro 5 and receiving it back from the sequencer. that way the Nord Electro 5
will play back any sound the same, whether controlled by the local keyboard or the sequencer.
to avoid double Note on messages, which may cause sound defects, make sure that channel
lower/Upper rcv are both set to off.
