Step 3: Making all the MIDI connections: two DB-1 Drawbar Controllers
If you have two DB-1 Drawbar Controllers, regardless of which Nord you have, your MIDI
connections should look like this:
a. Upper Drawbar MAIN OUT to Nord MIDI IN
b. Upper Drawbar MAIN IN from Nord MIDI OUT
c. Upper Drawbar AUX OUT to Lower Drawbar MAIN IN
d. Upper Drawbar AUX IN from Lower Drawbar MAIN OUT
e. Lower Drawbar AUX OUT to external sound module (optional)
f. Lower Drawbar AUX IN from external keyboard triggering Nord (optional)
