32 | NORD STAGE 3 USER MANUAL OS V2.5X
UTILITY FUNCTIONS
These functions are accessed by pressing UTILITY (Shift + Program 5
button). Use the PAGE buttons to select between the two functions.
M Depending on manufacturing date and panel revision there may be
no Utility button on the panel. The functions below will then instead
have dedicated panel controls in the Program section.
PROG LEVEL
The Program Levels function provides a nice shortcut for quickly adjust-
ing the volume level of an entire program. This can be handy when pre-
paring programs for a live performance, or for turning down the overall
volume without touching the Master Level control. Pressing PROG LEVEL
(Shift + Page 3) and turning the PROGRAM dial adjusts the levels of all
sound engines, across both panels, by an equal amount.
KEYBOARD ZONES EDITOR
The KB ZONES editor allows for a clear overview and easy set-up of
keyboard zones and how sound engines are assigned to them. A set-up
using the Organ (O), Piano (P), Synth (S) and Extern (E) sections on
Panel A, and the Piano section of Panel B may look like the example
below. The position and length of each bar indicates which keyboard
zone(s) that section has been assigned to.
To adjust which zones a sound engine (or the Extern section) is assigned
to, the ON/OFF buttons for each section and the Zone soft buttons are
used in combination. As an example here is how to set up the Piano on
Panel B so that it covers zones 2 and 3:
6 Make sure the Piano section on Panel B is turned on.
7 Open the UTILITY menu (Shift + Program 5 button) and turn to the
Keyboard Zones Editor using the Program dial.
8 The display will indicate which zones the Piano sound is currently
assigned to. Unless a KB Split has been set up previously, this will
most likely be all four zones (the entire keyboard).
9 Press and hold the Piano ON/OFF button on Panel B and then press
the Zone 2 and 3 soft buttons (Program 2 and 3 buttons). The
Piano sound will now be assigned to Zone 2 and 3. Using our
previous example, this is what that will look like:
You could also turn the Program dial, while holding down the
Piano On/Off button. This will scroll through all the possible Zone
combinations.
Depending on the Zone combination selected, the necessary Split
points will be assigned automatically. Their exact position and width
needs to be set from the SPLIT SET page however (see the previous
section).
Setting up the Organ, Synth and Extern sections is done in the same
way.
