On the MIDI Menu (see 

page 68

), you can select if the Nord Stage should send and/or receive Pro-

gram Change messages.
When you select a Program, a Program Change message is transmitted via MIDI on the active Panel 
MIDI Channel. If a Program Change message is received on any of the Panel A/B MIDI Channels, 
Nord Stage will change Program accordingly.
Note! A program change on either of the two Panel MIDI Channels will affect both Panels.
The 126 Program locations send and respond to MIDI Program Change values 0-125. Live buffers 1-
2 correspond to MIDI Program Change 126-127.

ONNECTIONS

1. Connect the MIDI Out on the Nord Stage to the MIDI In on your sequencer.

2. Connect the MIDI Out from your sequencer to the MIDI In on the Nord Stage.

Make sure that the Nord Stage is configured to respond to Program Change and Control Change 
MIDI messages (see the 

“MIDI menu” on page 68

).

Local Off should be used when you use a sequencer to record and play back from Nord Stage. Since 
the sequencer echoes back incoming MIDI data, Nord Stage will respond normally to your playing 
and knob tweaking via the MIDI “loop”. If you use Local On with a sequencer setup as described 
above, this would cause “double-triggered” notes when you play; both from the keyboard internally 
and via the MIDI “loop”. Therefore, always use Local Off when used in this way together with a se-
quencer.
Local On/Off is set on the 

“MIDI menu” on page 68

.

MIDI 

CHANNEL

Each Panel can respond its own MIDI channel. This is convenient when you want to play split and 
layered sounds. If you want to control each instrument separately, you can assign an individual MIDI 
channel to each of the six instruments of the Nord Stage. The MIDI channels are set up on the MIDI 
menu - see 

“MIDI menu” on page 68

.

Usually you select a Program Change value for a track in the sequencer track settings. The 126 Pro-
gram locations send and respond to Program Change values 0-125., while Live buffers 1-2 corre-
spond to Program Change 126-127. Make sure the Program Change is sent on either of the Panel A/
B MIDI channels.
