Parts
the Nord Electro 5 is a bi-timbral instrument,
meaning that it allows you to play two separate
sounds simultaneously. these sound sources
are referred to as Part loWEr and Part UPPEr.
For each Part you can choose from one of the
three sound engines:
• the organ Model
• the Piano Engine
• the sample synth
Parts are selected in the Program area and can be blended in any way you choose by turning the
Part MIX knob. In KB sPlIt mode the keyboard is divided in two, with Part lower to the left and
Part Upper to the right. the split point can be adjusted by pressing the KB sPlIt button while
turning the valUE dial to select from six available split points: c3, F3, c4, F4, c5 and F5. Green
lEds are provided across the keyboard to indicate which split point is active.

It is also possible to use KB sPlIt to allow Part UPPEr to be addressed via an external
controller, or to send MIdI only from the upper half of the keyboard. these features require
that an Upper split channel is defined in the MIdI menu. You can read more about possible
MIdI setups on page 14-page 15.
the octavE sHIFt buttons transpose their respective Parts in octave intervals. the number of
octaves available for each Part to be transposed up or down depends on whether you are in KB
sPlIt mode or not, designed to always give you access to the entire playable range for both Parts.
the traNsPosE function, activated by a single press of the button, will allow the keyboard to be
tran/- 6 semitones. Pressing and holding the traNsPosE button while operating the
valUE dial adjusts the amount of transposition.
ProGraM
a Program contains all the settings for all of the available parameters, including sound engines
and sound processing effects, for both Parts regardless of whether both Parts are active within
the Program. output volume of each Program is controlled using the GaIN knob. this value is
also stored within the Program, allowing adjustment of relative volumes between Programs.
the Nord Electro 5 can store up to 400 user Programs organized in eight banks holding 50 Pro-
grams each. to scroll through your Programs simply turn the ProG dial.
Program names, along with Bank and Program numbers (separated by a colon), are shown
in the display when in Program Mode. the lower half of the display contains small icons
representative of the three available sound engines. current drawbar positions are shown
for the organ model, while the names of the loaded sounds are displayed for the Piano and
sample synth engines. an asterisk will appear to the right of the program number if/when
changes are made to a Program. Note that these changes will be lost upon changing to
another Program unless a storE operation is performed first.
