NORD PIANO 3 WITH A SEQUENCER
The USB or MIDI connections of the Nord Piano 3 can be used to re-
cord MIDI data into a sequencer, DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), no-
tation software or similar and have it played back by the Nord Piano 3.
The following steps outline how this setup is generally done:
1 Make sure that proper audio connections for auditioning and/or
recording the sound are made.
2 Connect a USB cable between the Nord Piano 3 and a free USB
port on your computer. Optionally make the connections using
standard MIDI cables and a MIDI interface. In this case connect
MIDI Out of the Nord Piano 3 to MIDI In on the MIDI interface and
the Nord Piano 3 MIDI In to the interface MIDI Out.
3 To avoid double triggering of notes which would cause an undesir-
able sound, set Local Control Mode to Off, in the MIDI menu of the
Nord Piano 3 or turn Soft Thru (echoing of MIDI notes) Off in your
DAW or sequencer.
4 Launch the DAW, sequencer or other software to be used with the
Nord Piano 3. If needed follow the instructions of your software to
create a MIDI track for recording and playback of MIDI data.
5 Select the Nord Piano 3 MIDI driver in the appropriate menu or
settings panel, if not already selected. If connected using standard
MIDI cables select the appropriate driver for the MIDI interface
instead.
6 Set the MIDI channel of the software MIDI track to the one specified
for Channel Global in the MIDI menu.
E Some of the keyboard data generated by the triple sensor/Virtual
Hammer Action technologies is not supported by the MIDI protocol
and will not be transmitted as MIDI messages. To be certain that
what you hear is what you record make sure that Local Control
Mode is set to off.
