• For the Program and Control parameters, the ‘on’ setting means that the respective MIDI data is
transmitted and received by the Nord Lead 2X, while the ‘oF’ setting means that it is not.
• For the Arpeggio parameter, the ‘A.on’ setting means that generated arpeggios can be sent out as MIDI
notes. This makes it possible to arpeggiate chords on connected synthesizers and sound modules, and
to record arpeggios in a sequencer. With the ‘A.oF’ setting, the actual chord you play on the keyboard
is sent to MIDI Out, regardless of whether the Nord Lead 2X arpeggio is activated or not.
