A Program in Nord Electro 2 consists of a selected Instrument (an Organ sound or a specific Piano
sound), the settings you have made for the instrument, e.g. Drawbar, Percussion and Chorus/Vibrato set-
tings for Organ sounds or Presence settings for a Piano sound, Octave Shift settings plus all the settings
of the Effects section. For Piano based sounds this means that a Program does not contain any samples -
only the parameter data that affects the selected Piano type. This is important to bear in mind when per-
forming a MIDI Sysex dump of a Piano based Program (see
sound), the settings you have made for the instrument, e.g. Drawbar, Percussion and Chorus/Vibrato set-
tings for Organ sounds or Presence settings for a Piano sound, Octave Shift settings plus all the settings
of the Effects section. For Piano based sounds this means that a Program does not contain any samples -
only the parameter data that affects the selected Piano type. This is important to bear in mind when per-
forming a MIDI Sysex dump of a Piano based Program (see

Actually, how to change a programmed sound can be described in one
sentence: “tweak the knobs and press the buttons”. It is as simple as
that! Don’t be afraid to edit and overwrite the factory Programs. If
you want to restore any of the original factory programs later, you can
fetch them at http://www.clavia.se and download to your Nord Elec-
tro 2 as MIDI Sysex files. To indicate that a Program has been edited
(changed from the stored version), a dot is shown to the right of the Program number in the D
sentence: “tweak the knobs and press the buttons”. It is as simple as
that! Don’t be afraid to edit and overwrite the factory Programs. If
you want to restore any of the original factory programs later, you can
fetch them at http://www.clavia.se and download to your Nord Elec-

All K
NOBS
on the Nord Electro 2 are of potentiometer type. This means that
when you begin to edit a Program the values of the parameters can be totally dif-
ferent from the K
ferent from the K
NOBS
physical positions. As soon as you begin turning a
K
NOB
, the parameter value will ‘snap’ to the K
NOB
’
S
physical position. This
could generate drastic changes to the sound but that’s normal.

The D
RAWBAR
buttons are special in the way that they auto-increment/decrement the corresponding pa-
rameter when held. I.e. if you hold a D
RAWBAR
button the corresponding drawbar parameter will con-
tinue to increment or decrement (within its range) until you release the button.
