9. MIDI | 25
• Almost all other controls (knobs and buttons) on the front panel are
also transmitted and received as Control Change messages. This can
be used for recording front panel actions into a MIDI sequencer. For a
full list of which parameters correspond to which Controller number,
refer to page 31.
KEYBOARD VELOCITY
The Nord Electro 6 transmits and receives Keyboard Velocity messages.
Organ sounds will always be played back at nominal level regardless of
incoming MIDI Velocity data. Release velocity is transmitted, but ignored
on MIDI In.
PROGRAM CHANGE
Loading a program, Live program, Piano or Sample will send a Program
Change message on the global MIDI channel, each content type iden-
tified by its Bank MSB value. Conversely, incoming Program Change
messages will select the corresponding content on the Electro 6. The
message consists of three parts, as defined in the table below:
Program Piano Sample Live
Bank MSB (CC# 0) 0 3 4 6
Bank LSB (CC# 32) 0-3 0-5 0-X 0
Program Change 0-127 0-X 0-49 0-7
X = the amount of relevant values depends on the number of pianos/
samples in memory.
ABOUT PROGRAM BANKS AND MIDI
Each Bank LSB value is used for addressing a total of 8 program banks
on the Electro 6. As an example, sending Bank LSB 0 and a Program
Change message between 0-15 will address programs in bank A. Pro-
gram Change messages between 16-31 address bank B, and so on up
to bank H. Changing the Bank LSB value to 1, programs in banks I-P
are reached on the Electro 6.
In the System Menu, you can select if the Nord Electro 6 should send
and/or receive Program Change messages on the Global channel. See
page 27 for further details.
LOCAL CONTROL ON/OFF
If Local Control is set to Off, the keyboard and the panel on the Nord
Electro 6 will be “disconnected” from its sound engines. Use the Off
setting when the instrument is set up in a MIDI loop, for instance when
using it in conjunction with a DAW or seqencer.
If Local Control is set to On, together with a MIDI loop, “double-trig-
gered” notes would occur when playing – one triggered directly by the
internal keyboard and the other one being echoed back to the Electro
6 over MIDI. Local Control On/Off is set in the System menu, which is
described on page 27.
PANIC
If hanging notes are experienced when using the Nord
Electro 6 in a MIDI setup, or if all sound should be
terminated for some other reason, use the PANIC (Shift
+ Reverb On) function. This will execute an internal
“All Notes Off” message, and reset incoming CC
messages.
