The Menus
Any settings that you change in the System, MIDI, Sound or Pedal menus will take immediate effect on a global basis, and the settings will be stored
until you change them the next time . Enter the menus by pressing and holding Shift and the System, MIDI, Sound or Pedal button (program but-
tons 1 to 4) . Select a function with the Up/Down buttons and change the setting by pressing and holding Shift and the Up or Down button . Exit the
menus by pressing a second time on the program buttons or on the Shift/Exit button .

There is one exception, one menu setting that doesn’t get automatically stored when you power off the Piano 2 HP, and this is the MIDI Local
On/Off setting. This always reverts to Local On every time the Nord Piano 2 HP is powered up.
