KEYBOARD ZONES

You can split the Nord Stage EX keyboard in up to three Keyboard Zones; Lower (LO), Upper (UP)

and High (HI). You can then assign any of the Instrument sections to any (or all) of these zones. An

instrument can also be assigned to no keyboard zone at all, which is useful when you want to play it

from an external keyboard or from a sequencer.

CREATING A SPLIT

Creating a split so that different instruments are assigned to different keyboard zones is very easy to

set up. Proceed as follows:

1. Activate two instrument sections, e.g. an organ sound and a piano sound, by pressing the

KB Z

ONE SELECT buttons in each corresponding section so that the KB ZONE LEDs (Lo/Up/

Hi) light up. If you now play the keyboard you should hear both instruments layered.

2. Press the KB Z

ONES 2 button. This splits the keyboard into two Zones, an upper and a lower.

The split point is indicated by a green LED above the corresponding key on the keyboard.
