If your sequencer “echoes” all received MIDI signals via its MIDI output(s), the Nord Electro 2 should be 
set to Local Off. This is important because otherwise you will get “double-notes”; from the internal key-
board and via the MIDI loop. See

CHANNEL

1. Set up Nord Electro 2 so that it transmits/receives on the desired MIDI channel. See 

 for details on how to set up the MIDI channel.

2. Select the desired Program.

3. If needed, set the sequencer up to record and play back on the desired MIDI Channel.

To record a Program Change message, activate recording in the sequencer and simply select a new Bank 
(A-F) and Program (1-8) by using the U

 buttons and the P

 buttons. The 

48 Program locations send and respond to Program Change values 0-47 where 0 is Program A1 and 47 is 
Program F8.

ONTROLLERS

When you record knob movements and button presses, make sure that the sequencer “echoes” the changes 
back on the correct MIDI Channel, or your changes won’t have any effect.

HASING

”

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.
