CLAVIA DMI AB CLAVIA NORD Rack 2X [16/114] Selecting performances

Page 14 Basic Operations

Selecting Performances

A Performance is a collection of four Programs, one for each slot. Furthermore, the Performance contains

information about which Programs should be active (layered).

In fact, a Performance also contains information about what MIDI Channels to use for each slot, and a

number of other settings, but this is described in detail on page 33. This text is only meant as a quick

introduction to playing the factory Performances.

1. If you have the rack version of the Nord Lead, make sure you transmit on MIDI Channel 1.

This is because the factory Performances are set to receive on MIDI Channel 1.

2. Enter Performance mode by holding down Shift and pressing Performance (Manual).

The display shows the latest selected Performance.

The Performances are organised in 10 Banks, named alphabetically from A to L (the letters I and K are

excluded because they’re hard to write clearly on the display). In each Bank there are 10 Performances,

for a total of 100. If you have a PCMCIA card inserted, the Banks on the card are found after the internal

(ROM) Banks and labelled in the same way, but indicated with a dot to the right of the digits in the dis-

play.

3. If you want to select another Bank (A to L), hold down Shift and press the Up and Down buttons.

4. To select a Performance in the Bank use the Up and Down buttons.

The Performance is instantly loaded and you can try it out. For a list of the factory Performances, see page

102.

5. When you are done, exit Performance mode by again holding down Shift and pressing Performance (Manual).
