Bank Select
Bank Select messages are only received, not transmitted.
If you use a PCMCIA card, received Bank Select messages can be used to switch between the internal
Bank and the three Banks on the card on the slot’s MIDI Channel, just as with Program Change, see
above. The lowest Bank Select number selects the internal Bank, the second selects the first PCMCIA
Bank and so on.
Bank Select must always be used in combination with Program Change, or no Bank change will take
place.
System Exclusive
Program settings can be transmitted as a System Exclusive “bulk dump”. See page 71.
Using Nord Lead With a Sequencer
Connections
1. Connect MIDI Out on the Nord Lead to a MIDI In on your sequencer.
2. Connect a MIDI Out from your sequencer to a MIDI In on the Nord Lead.
Local On/Off
If your sequencer “echoes” all received MIDI signals via its MIDI Output(s) (which it probably does, look
for a function called “MIDI Thru”, MIDI Echo”, MIDI Merge”, “Soft Thru” or similar), the Nord Lead should
be set to Local Off. See page 58.
MIDI Channels
Which MIDI Channel the Nord Lead transmits on depends on which of the four Program slots is active
(see page 13).
All four Program Slots always receive MIDI, regardless of which one is selected, or if layering of one or
more slots is activated or not. However, all Slots used in a Layer (i.e. all Slots that are activated) will also
receive on the MIDI channel set for the leftmost active Slot!
This means that if you have a layer consisting of Slots A, B and D, and Slot A is set to MIDI channel 1,
both Slots B and D will receive on channel 1, as well as on their respective set channels.
Therefore, if you want the sequencer to control the four Program Slots independently (i.e. not in a layer),
make sure only one of the Slots is active on the Nord Lead (only one Program Slot LED is lit)!
1. Set up the Program slots that you plan to use so that they transmit/receive on the desired MIDI Channels.
To set a slot’s MIDI Channel, hold down Shift, and press MIDI Ch. Then select the Program slot, and set
the value. See page 59 for details.
2. Set the program slots that you don’t plan to use, to MIDI Channel “Off”.
This is to ensure they don’t play any sound unintentionally.
3. Select the desired Program for each Program slot.
