About the programs
Complete sound settings are stored in the Program memory of the
Nord Electro 3. This memory area has 128 locations that are numbered
1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, etc up to 64B. Every program can be edited and
replaced as you wish. A complete set of the factory programs are avail-
able on the Nord DVD and on our website.
Select a program
Press the Up or Down button repeatedly until you’ve selected the
desired program number. The program will be loaded immediately.
Press the Prog A or Prog B buttons to quickly switch between the
program number A or program number B. Press Shift and Up/Down
to scroll continuously in the program bank.
Edit a program
Editing a program is just as easy as grabbing a knob and change a set-
ting, or press a button to select a different setting. The knob’s physical
position isn’t always as the stored setting in the program that is active,
but as soon as you start turning a knob, the parameter will snap to the
knob’s position.
When you have edited a program, a dot will appear in the lower right
display corner next to the program number. This will alert you to the
fact that the program has been edited but not yet saved. If you select a
new program without saving, any edits you have made will be lost and
the program will have its original settings the next time you select it.
Storing a program
If you are happy with an edit that you have
made, you should probably save or Store the
program.
Press the
1 Store button.
The program number LEDs starts flashing.
There is a Memory Protect function that is set to On when the M
Electro 3 leaves the Nord Factory. This has to be turned Off in the
System Menu before you can save a program.
Press
2 Shift + System and use the Up/Down buttons to select
the Memory Protect Option – this is the very first option in the
System menu. Set the memory protection to Off by pressing and
holding Shift and the Up or Down buttons. Exit the System menu
by pressing the Prog A / System button again.
The setting of the memory protection will be remembered even if M
the Electro 3 is turned off.
Select a new location where you want to store the program.

Use the Up/Down buttons and the Prog A and Prog B buttons to
navigate to a new program location if you do not want to overwrite the
original program.
Press the
4 Store button a second time to confirm your choice.
The edited program has now replaced the previous one in the location
you specified.
To cancel the procedure, press the Shift button before you press M
Store the second time.
With Memory Protect set to Off, a double tap on the Store button M
will store a Program in its original location.

Getting Started
Let’s take a few minutes to get familiar with the Electro 3. The user interface is designed to be as intuitive as possible, and to perform as well as you
do in a live situation. We hope that you soon will feel confident in using it, and by following this short chapter, we will go through most of the functions.
