5. MENUS
Global System and MIDI settings, sound settings for the Piano section
and various options for Sustain and Control/Volume pedals are ac-
cessed through the SYSTEM, MIDI, SOUND and PEDAL menus. Menus
are browsed with the PROG/MENU dial, and values are changed using
the same dial while pressing VALUE.
Any changes made will automatically be stored until changed again except for the Local Control Mode setting of the MIDI menu. This setting will
revert to On every time the Nord Piano 3 is powered on.
SYSTEM
1 - MEMORY PROTECTION is set to On when the instrument is shipped in
order to prevent accidental overwriting of original Programs or uninten-
tional use of the Organize functions.
Set this to Off to enable storage of Programs and the Organize function-
ality. Default value is On.
2 - GLOBAL TRANSPOSE allows for transposing the instrument within a
range of ±6 semitones. Default value is 0.
3 - FINE TUNE can be used to fine tune the instrument within of a range
of ±50 cent. Default value is 0 cent, 440Hz.
4 - OUTPUT ROUTING MODE can be set to Stereo, meaning both Piano
and Sample Synth will be routed to both outputs, or to Piano : L, Synth
: R, which will route Piano to the Left and Sample Synth to the Right
output, both being in mono. Default value is Stereo.
E When using the Piano : L, Synth : R setting, applying the EQ to
both Piano and Synth causes all sound to be routed to the Left
output. This is due to the summation of all sound into one signal.
MIDI
1 - LOCAL CONTROL MODE will be reset to On everytime the Nord Piano
3 is powered up, but can manually be turned Off.
When set to On the keyboard and panel controls are used to play back
sounds and alter parameters directly. When set to Off, keyboard and
controller data are only sent via MIDI. Default value is On.
See page 14 for details on when this setting should be changed
to Off.
2 - CHANNEL GLOBAL sets the MIDI channel which the Nord Piano 3 trans-
mits on and responds to. Possible values are 1–16, or Off. Default is 1.
3 - CONTROL CHANGE MODE determines how the Nord Piano 3 handles
MIDI CC (Control Change) messages. Can be set to Off, Send, Receive
or Send/Receive. Default value is Send/Receive.
4 - PROGRAM CHANGE MODE affects how the Nord Piano 3 handles
Program Change MIDI messages. Possible settings are Off, Send, Re-
ceive or Send/Receive. Default value is Send/Receive.
5 - TRANSPOSE MIDI AT can be set to MIDI IN or MIDI OUT.
With the MIDI IN setting, the transpose value (global and/or per Pro-
gram) will not be applied to the outgoing MIDI stream, but only to in-
coming MIDI data.
If set to MIDI OUT, any active transpose value will affect the MIDI notes
sent but not the incoming ones. Default value is MIDI IN.
SOUND
1 - PIANO PEDAL NOISE LEVEL determines the sound level of the Pedal
Noise. The range is ±6 dB. Default value is 0dB.
2 - PIANO STRING RES LEVEL determines the sound level of the sympa-
thetic String Resonance effect for the Piano section. The range for this
parameter is ±6dB. Default value is 0dB.
PEDAL
1 - SUSTAIN PEDAL TYPE can be set to Auto, Closed, Open or Triple
depending on the polarity and type of the connected pedal. The Triple
setting is intended for use with the Nord Triple Pedal. In Auto mode the
type will automatically be determined if the pedal is connected to the
instrument prior to powering it up. Default value is Auto.
2 - MIDDLE PEDAL MODE can be set to Sostenuto, Synth Sustain or
Synth Sustain+Latch.
The Synth Sustain setting lets the middle pedal operate as a dedicated
Sustain pedal for the Sample Synth section. Synth Sustain+Latch allows
the middle pedal to sustain a note or chord on the Sample Synth while
ignoring any new keyboard input, the Piano operating as usual. Default
value is Sostenuto.
3 - VOLUME PEDAL TYPE can be set to Roland EV7, Yamaha FC7, Korg
EXP2, Korg XVP10, Boss FV500L or Fatar SL. Default is Roland EV7.
4 - VOLUME PEDAL GAIN ranges from 1-10 and enables boosting the
signal of the connected pedal in the event it does not provide full range.
The Default value is 1.
When this menu option is selected and a Volume/Control Pedal
is connected the current value of the pedal will be indicated as a
percentage (0-100%) in the display. Refer to this value for checking
the available range of operation.
