4. MIdI

the Nord Electro 5 is designed to be as flexible as possible in regards to how it can be used together with external controllers, sequencers and 
sound modules. this section illustrates the most common setups for using the MIdI functionality of the Nord Electro 5 together with other equip-
ment. Each scenario requires that appropriate settings are made in the MIdI Menu and/or the KB split section. the tables will show you what 
parameters needs to be adjusted in each case. also, the Nord Electro 5 can both send and receive an extensive set of MIdI controller messages. 
For a detailed list of these, see page 21.

the Nord Electro 5 can be used as a controller keyboard, in cases where you want to play the 
sounds of an external sound module or synthesizer. local control Mode can be set to on or off 
depending on if you want to use the Nord Electro 5 as part of a layered sound or not.

With this setup, the upper part of the keyboard can be used to send MIdI to an external sound 
module or synthesizer. Useful for cases where you want to play one of the Nord Electro 5 sound 
engines in the left hand, but the sound of a different unit in your right. the Part Upper sound engine 
can either be turned off entirely, or be set to a sound that you want layered with the sound of the 
external unit.

MIdI messages for sustain and control pedal are only sent if their respective functions are activated 
for Part Upper. also, transpose and octave shift settings will affect the outgoing MIdI stream, unlike 
with MIdI sent on the global channel.

Note that the Nord Electro 5 will not send any MIdI generated above the split point on the global 
channel in this scenario. this is to avoid the external unit receiving double Note on or other MIdI 
messages. to enable this setup, channel Upper split in the MIdI menu needs to be set to a discrete 
MIdI channel.
