/O

FF

• Note On and Note Off messages are of course transmitted when you play the keyboard. If you use 

the O

), you can transpose the Nord Electro 2 

keyboard ± 2 octaves (if the selected instrument supports this).

• Notes can be received over the entire MIDI Note range. However, due to the actual note range of 

the controlled instrument type, there will be silent notes when exceeding their ranges.

• Pitch Bend messages are neither transmitted nor recognized by the Nord Electro 2. 

C

ONTROLLERS

• If you have an Control/Expression pedal connected to the C

, this is trans-

mitted and received as Controller 11 (Expression).

• If you have a sustain pedal connected to the S

, this is transmitted and 

received as Controller 64 (Sustain Pedal).

• If you have a sustain pedal connected to the R

, this is transmitted and received 

as Controller 82.

• All other controls (knobs and buttons) on the front panel (except M

), are also trans-

mitted and received as Control Change messages. This can be used to record your actions on the 
front panel into a MIDI sequencer. For a full list of which parameters correspond to which Con-
troller number, see the MIDI implementation chapter on

ELOCITY

Nord Electro 2 can transmit and receive Keyboard Velocity messages. Note that incoming Keyboard 
Velocity data is ignored when in Organ mode. Organ sounds will always be played back at nom-
inal level regardless of incoming MIDI Velocity data.

HANGE

When you select a Program, a Program Change message is transmitted via MIDI on the selected MIDI 
Channel. If a Program Change message is received on the selected MIDI Channel, Nord Electro 2 will 
change Program accordingly. The 48 Program locations send and respond to Program Change values 0-47 
where 0 is Program A1 and 47 is Program F8.
