Type in a name for your connected synth and press Enter. This is especially useful if you run several Nord
Modular G2 synthesizers from the Editor. The name will also be displayed in the Synth Name display
box in the Toolbar.

Click the Local On check box to turn the MIDI Local Control on. Select Local On to be able to control
the synth from the internal keyboard and the pedals. MIDI data is also transmitted via the
MIDI O
UT
jack. In the Local Off mode, the keyboard and pedal actions are transmitted only via MIDI and do not
control the synth itself. Local Off should be used with external sequencers if the
MIDI O
UT
jack of Nord
Modular G2 is routed back, via the external sequencer, to the
MIDI I
N
jack. If Echo is active in the se-
quencer, “double notes” will appear when playing the keyboard in Local On mode.

Global Channel:
Here you set the Global MIDI Channel for the synth. The Global MIDI Channel should be used for
sending and receiving MIDI note data and for sending control data (Mod Wheel, Aftertouch, Velocity,
Aftertouch and Pedals) as well as sending and receiving MIDI Program Change messages in Performance
mode. Select Global MIDI Channel by clicking the arrow buttons.
SysEx ID:
Here you can set an ‘Instrument SysEx ID’. This is very useful if you’re sending SysEx dumps of sounds
from a sequencer to the Nord Modular G2 and have several G2 synthesizers MIDI connected. Let’s say
you have two G2 synthesizers. These two instrument models have the same ‘Manufacturer ID’ and ‘Mod-
el ID’ in the SysEx protocol. By defining separate SysEx ID’s on the two synths, you will be able to “di-
rect” the SysEx dumps from the sequencer to one of the G2’s while the other one will ignore the dumps.
Just make sure that you define a separate SysEx ID before dumping the sounds to the sequencer. Select
Instrument SysEx ID by clicking on the arrow buttons.
