• Note On and Note Off messages are of course transmitted when you play the keyboard. If you use the
O
CTAVE
S
HIFT
function (see
), you can transpose the Nord Electro 2 key-
board ± 2 octaves (if the selected instrument supports this).
• Notes can be received over the entire MIDI Note range. However, due to the actual note range of the
controlled instrument type, there will be silent notes when exceeding their ranges.

panel into a MIDI sequencer. For a full list of which parameters correspond to which Controller
number, see the MIDI implementation chapter on
.

Nord Electro 2 can transmit and receive Keyboard Velocity messages.
Note that incoming Keyboard Ve-
locity data is ignored when in Organ mode. Organ sounds will always be played back at nominal level
regardless of incoming MIDI Velocity data.

When you select a Program, a Program Change message is transmitted via MIDI on the selected MIDI
Channel. If a Program Change message is received on the selected MIDI Channel, Nord Electro 2 will
change Program accordingly. The 48 Program locations send and respond to Program Change values 0-
47 where 0 is Program A1 and 47 is Program F8.
