Note: For Organ Sysex, the complete settings for the sound will be dumped as MIDI Sysex. For
Piano sounds, all parameters will be sent but NOT the actual instrument samples. Therefore,
when dumping back a Piano sound, make sure the actual instrument samples are already load-
ed in the Nord Electro 2. Otherwise the parameters in the Sysex message will be applied to an-
other available Piano instrument.

Consider a situation where you record a Controller message, e.g. a Drawbar opening, in the middle of your
sequencer song. Then you “rewind” the sequencer to a position before the recorded Drawbar opening. The
problem is that the Nord Electro 2’s Drawbar will remain opened, although it really should be as it was
before you recorded the opening. To solve such problems, several sequencers include a function called
“Controller Chasing”, which keeps track of Controller changes and tries to adjust the settings on the in-
strument according to the current position in the sequencer song.

However, in our example this wouldn’t help much, because the Drawbar opening was the first Controller
message recorded in the song. The sequencer has no information about the Drawbar setting before the re-
corded change, and therefore cannot “chase” the settings properly. To solve this, you could record a “snap-
shot” of all Controller settings of the Nord Electro 2 Program(s) at the beginning of your sequencer song.
In these situations you can use the ‘dump all MIDI Controllers’ function.
