If you are controlling the Nord Electro 2 from an external MIDI keyboard, the Nord Electro 2 must be
set to receive on the same MIDI channel that the external keyboard transmits on. Nord Electro 2 is
monotimbral (or bitimbral when using the Organ section.See
“Using an additional “Lower Manual”
) which means it can only transmit and receive on one MIDI channel at a
time.
1. Set the MIDI keyboard to transmit and receive on MIDI Channel 1. (This is the default setting
when Nord Electro 2 is shipped from factory).
2. Press the
S
HIFT
+
P
ROGRAM
1
(MIDI CH) but-
tons. The
D
ISPLAY
shows the currently selected
MIDI channel.
3. Scroll with the
U

buttons to
select MIDI Channel 1 (if it isn’t already selected).
4. Press any button (except for the
S
HIFT
, S

or
U
P
/D
OWN
buttons) to exit.

Some of the piano instruments sampled for the Nord Electro 2 have very wide dynamic ranges by nature
and naturally we wanted to capture this as accurately as possible. Therefore, it could be perceived that it
is a little hard to reach the most extreme levels when playing the Nord Electro 2 piano sounds. However,
this is only normal since the dynamic response curves have been very carefully adjusted to match each
original instrument's response characteristics. In other words, Clavia's intention was that when you play
a Rhodes sound, for example, it should almost feel like you are playing a Rhodes piano.
