Clavia lead 2x Guida Utente

Therefore, if you want the sequencer to control the four Slots independently (i.e. not in a layer), make 
sure only one of the Slots is active on the Nord Lead 2X (only one Program Slot LED is lit)!

1. Set up the Slots that you plan to use so that they transmit/receive on the desired MIDI Channels. To 

set a Slot’s MIDI Channel, hold down S

, and press MIDI C

. Then select the Slot, and set the 

value. See 

 for details.

2. Set the program Slots that you don’t plan to use, to MIDI Channel ‘oFF’. This is to ensure they 

don’t play any sound unintentionally.

3. Select the desired Program for each Slot.

4. If your sequencer requires you to transmit on a certain MIDI Channel (the same MIDI Channel as 

the Slot receives on), select the desired Slot, before recording.

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

6. Activate recording and play the Nord Lead 2X.

7. For an overdub with a new sound, select a new Track with a new MIDI Channel in the sequencer.

For the Nord Lead 2X to transmit and receive Control change messages from the front panel this must 
be activated, see 

. Modulation Wheel and pedal, however, are always transmitted/received.

• When you record front panel movements, make sure you have the right Slot activated, and that the 

sequencer “echoes” the changes back on the right MIDI Channel, or your changes will affect the 
wrong sound!

• If two (or more) Slots are set up to receive on the same MIDI Channel, both will be affected by the 

changes!

• Please read the note about Controller transmission in Local Off mode on 

.
