CONTROL LAYERS FROM ANOTH-
ER KEYBOARD
Use a Program with some of the Layers controlled from the Wave 2 itself
and other Layers from an external keyboard or sequencer, set to corre-
sponding Layer MIDI channel(s). Active Layers will be controlled from the
Wave 2 keyboard, inactive Layers are controlled from external units.
SENDING ON LAYER CHANNELS
When the Global MIDI Channel is set to
Off
, and MIDI channels have
been defined for the four Layers, the Nord Wave 2 can be used for
sending MIDI on four different channels simultaneosly. MIDI is only sent
for layers that are active on the panel, and Octave Shift can be used to
change the octave of outgoing MIDI, per channel. This mode can for
instance be used for controlling four different software instruments inde-
pendently.
M
No Program Change messages are sent on the Layer MIDI chan-
nels.
See the MIDI Menu section on page page 32 for further information
on how to make these settings.
PROGRAM CHANGE OPERATIONS
Program Change messages are used both for the Program and Live
banks, as well as for the Oscillators section – i.e. Program Change can
be used to target a specific waveform or sample. The different entities
are identified by which Bank
MSB
number is being used. Changing Pro-
grams, Live programs, Oscillators Category and Waveform respectively
on the Nord Wave 2 will send Program Change messages according to
the table below.
M
The extra Program Change functionality can be turned off by set-
ting Program Change Select to “Programs Only” in the MIDI menu.
The implementation is designed such that one MIDI LSB bank ad-
dresses as many Nord Wave 2 banks as possible, given the number of
programs within each bank. As a result, program banks A-E on the Nord
Wave 2 are all reached with a Bank LSB (and MSB) value of 0, banks
F-J with Bank LSB 1, and so on.

M
A Program Change message that reaches the Nord Wave 2
unaccompanied by Bank Select messages will take effect in the
currently focused Program bank – exiting Live mode if active.
In the MIDI Menu, you can select if Program Change messages should
sent and/or received on the Global channel. See page 32 for details.
OTHER MESSAGE TYPES
CONTROL CHANGE MESSAGES
Most parameters on the Nord Wave 2 panel generate a CC message
when operated. Receiving these messages will change the parameter
accordingly. A list of parameters and their CC numbers is on page 36.
If you do not want the Nord Wave 2 to transmit or respond to Control
Change messages, this can be turned off in the MIDI Menu.
PEDAL CONTROL CHANGE
A Control pedal transmits CC7 if set to “volume” in the System Menu
and CC11 if is set to “Morph”. The sustain pedal transmits CC64.
vOLUME
The output level of a Program or a Layer can be set by transmitting CC7
to the Nord Wave 2 on the Global, or any of the Layer MIDI Channels.
PAN CC
The position of an Program or a individual Layer in the stereo panora-
ma can be set by transmitting CC10 to the Nord Wave 2 on the Global
Channel, or any of the Layer MIDI Channels.
MIDI LOCAL
If a sequencer is set to echo back incoming MIDI data, this can cause
double triggered notes if the Nord Wave 2 keyboard is used. If this oc-
curs, set MIDI Local to Off, in the MIDI menu.
MIDI CLOCK
The Nord Wave 2 Mst Clk automatically syncs to incoming MIDI Clock.
M
The Nord Wave 2 does not transmit MIDI Clock messages.
USB MIDI
On Windows computers, the Nord v3.x USB driver is required for using
the MIDI via USB functionality. This driver is normally installed automati-
cally from Windows Update by having the Nord Wave 2 connected to a
USB port, with the computer being online. The driver can also be found
at www.nordkeyboards.com.
M
Computers running Mac OSX have a native USB MIDI support for
the Nord units. No driver installation is necessary.
PANIC
If notes get stuck during a performance, press
PANIC
(Shift+Octave Shift Up). This resets incoming CC
messages and sends an All Notes Off message to all
Layers.
