About the programs

Sound and effect settings are stored in the Program memory of the 
Nord Electro 4 HP/SW . The Electro 4 HP/SW organizes the memory 
in 32 pages with 4 programs in each page, making this a total of 128 
programs . 

Every program can be changed and replaced as you wish . A complete 
set of the factory programs are available on the Nord DVD that accom-
panies the unit and on our website . This allows you to get back to the 
factory settings, should you wish to do so, using the Sound Manager .

Selecting programs

Use the Up/Down buttons to the left of the LED display to select the 
page and the program buttons 1 ~ 4 to select the programs within 
each page . The page and program number will be displayed in the 
LED . 

When the Electro 4 HP/SW leaves the factory, the first 16 or so pages 
are organized to make it easier for you to quickly check out sounds 
from specific instrument groups . The 1st programs in each page are 
acoustic pianos, the 2nd programs are electric pianos, the 3rd program 
are organs and the 4th programs are sample based instruments . 

Press the Program 1 button to listen to a piano program, 1 .1 . 

Press the Up button to get 
to the next piano program, 
2 .1 . Keep pressing the Up 
button until you are ready 
for the next instrument 
group . 

Press and hold the Down 
button to get back to 1 .1, 
and then the Program 
2 button to listen to the 
electric piano on the 1 .2 
location . 

Press the Up button to get to the next electric piano .

You can of course organize the programs in any order you want . Such 
a process can be done quite easily by using the drag and drop features 
in the Nord Sound Manager .

Edit a program

Editing a program is just as easy as grabbing a knob and change a set-
ting, or press a button to select a different setting . The knob’s physical 
position isn’t always as the stored setting in the program that is active, 
but as soon as you start turning a knob, the parameter will snap to the 
knob’s position .

When you have edited a program, a dot will appear in the lower right 
display corner next to the program number . 

This will alert you to the fact that the program 
has been edited but not yet saved . If you select 
a new program without saving, any edits you 
have made will be lost and the program will have its original settings 
the next time you select it .

Selecting pianos, samples

Select a program where the Piano instrument is active . The LEDs 
on the piano section and the Selector LED for the piano will be lit . 

Press repeatedly 
on the Piano Type 
selector to cycle 
through the types .

Press the Model 
buttons to select 
the various piano 
models within the 
selected type . 

Press the Type 
selector again until 
the Samp Lib is ac-
tivated .

Getting Started

Let’s take a few minutes to get familiar with the Electro 4 HP/SW . The user interface is designed to be as intuitive as possible, and to perform as well 
as you do in a live situation . We hope that you soon will feel confident in using it, and by following this short chapter, we will go through most of the 
functions .
