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.
This can be done by using the ‘MIDI Controllers Dump’ function described below.

Note: For Sysex dumps of Organ sounds, 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 sam-
ples. Therefore, when dumping back a Piano Sysex, make sure the actual instrument sound is
already loaded in the Nord Electro 2. Otherwise the parameters in the Sysex message will be
applied to another available Piano instrument. However,

E.Piano1 sound and then erased the E.Piano1 sound. When you load the Program Sysex back to
the Electro 2, it will apply another available Electric Piano sound, the E.Piano2 or E.Piano3, for
example. If no Electric Piano sound is available, another piano sound will be applied.
