Program & Controller dumps
To dump a Program SysEx, or MIDI Controller data via MIDI, either to
another Nord Piano or for recording the data into another MIDI device,
proceed as follows:
Sending program dumps
1
Connect the MIDI OUT on the Nord Piano to the MIDI In on the
receiving device (or use the USB capabilities).
2
Set up the receiving device to accept MIDI SysEx and MIDI Con-
troller data.
3
Press Shift + MIDI and select the “Dump One” or “Dump All” menu
item using the Up/Down buttons.
4
If needed, set the receiving MIDI device to “recording mode”.
5
Press the Store button to send the dump to the MIDI Out of Nord
Piano. The display will inform you when the transmission has been
completed.
M
For the programs, all parameters will be sent but NOT the actual
piano sounds.
When dumping back a program that uses a piano sound, make sure
the actual piano are also available in the Nord Piano. Otherwise the
parameters in the SysEx message will be applied to another available
piano instrument.
Sending MIDI Controller dumps
1
Set up as in steps 1 and 2 in the preceding description.
2
Press Shift + MIDI and select the “Send CC” menu item using the
Up/Down buttons.
3
Press the Store button to send the dump to the MIDI Out of Nord
Piano. The display will inform you when the transmission has been
completed.
Receive MIDI SysEx dumps
Here is how to receive a MIDI SysEx Dump:
1
Connect the MIDI Out on the transmitting device to the MIDI IN on
the Nord Piano.
2
Initiate the transmission on the transmitting device.
If the dump contained all Programs (All), it will replace all programs
currently stored in the Nord Piano. If the dump contained only a single
program, it will be temporarily placed in the currently selected program
memory location.
An asterisk will appear in the display to in the upper, left area next to
the program number to indicate an unsaved edit. You then have to
store the program manually to a memory location using the Store func-
tion (see page 12).
