8 | NORD GRAND USER MANUAL OS V1.5X
PROGRAMS
The Program area is located at the center of the panel, with the OLED
display in the middle. One program contains complete settings of every
parameter on the panel and is stored in the program memory of the
Nord Grand, with enough room for 400 programs.
Programs are organized into 16 banks, labeled A-P. All programs can be
edited and replaced as desired.
M A complete set of the factory programs is available on the www.
nordkeyboards.com website. This means that the program memory
can always be restored to its original state.
SELECT A PROGRAM
1 Programs are selected by pressing any of the five PROGRAM but-
tons located below the display, or by turning the PROGRAM dial. A
Program bank on the Nord Grand can contain 25 programs divided
into 5 program pages.
LIST VIEW
Any dial that has LIST written below it – such as the Program dial – can
be used to access a useful list view.
1 Press SHIFT and turn the PROGRAM dial to enter a list view of all the
Programs.
2 Browse to any program, using the PROGRAM dial. All 16 program
banks can be accessed when in List mode.
3 Try out the Abc and Cat soft buttons respectively. Note that in Abc
mode, all programs are shown in a list sorted by name and in Cat
mode as a list sorted by Category.
4 Press SHIFT again to EXIT the List view.
List views for the Piano and Sample dials work in a similar way.
EDIT A PROGRAM
Editing a program is as easy as turning a knob or pressing a button, to
change an existing setting. Let’s give it a quick try:
1 Dial up the first program (or any piano based program) for this
exercise.
The controls for the Piano instrument are located at the left end of
the front panel. Notice that the Piano section of the Program area
display shows the name of the selected piano sound.
SELECT A NEW PIANO SOUND
2 On the Nord Grand, piano sounds are grouped according to their
Type (for instance Grand or Upright). Press the PIANO SELECT
button until the desired Type is selected.
3 Now use the PIANO SELECT dial for selecting a specific sound
within the chosen Type.
M Note that changing any parameter on the panel causes an “E” to
appear next to the program number in the display. This is to show
that the program has been edited but not yet saved. If another
program is loaded before a Store operation is performed, any edits
are lost and the program will have its original settings the next time
it is loaded.
TURN OFF MEMORY PROTECTION
When the Nord Grand is shipped from factory its memory is protected to
prevent accidental overwriting of original programs. Memory protection
can be turned off by toggling a setting located in the System menu.
1 Hold SHIFT and press the SYSTEM (Program 1) button below the
display.
2 Memory Protect is the first setting of the System menu. If the
display shows a different setting, use on-screen soft buttons to
navigate to the Memory Protect setting.
3 Change this setting to Off by turning the PROGRAM dial.
4 Press EXIT (Shift button) to exit the System menu.
M This setting, like most other System settings, will be permanently
stored until it is changed again.
Read more about menu settings on page 22.
STORE A PROGRAM
1 Press the STORE button above the display once, to begin the pro-
cess of storing the current program.
2 The STORE LED will begin to flash and the display will ask for the
location to which the program should be stored.
3 If you want to store the edited version to the current location,
replacing the original, simply press STORE again. If not, use the dial
and/or PROGRAM buttons to select a different location.
As you scroll through the program locations, each program
becomes active on the keyboard. This allows for auditioning any
program before it is replaced with the program being stored.
4 When you have found a suitable location for your program, press
STORE again to confirm the store operation.
M Press Shift/Exit once to abort an ongoing Store process if you
change your mind.
Read more about Store and how to name a program in the Program
chapter, on page 14.
