• Which MIDI channel the Nord Lead 3 transmits on depends on which of the four Program slots is

active (see “Using the Slots” on page 13).

• All four Slots always receive MIDI, regardless of which one is selected or if layering of more Slots is

activated or not.

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

“Slot Channels” on page 119 for details on how to set up MIDI channels for the Slots.

2. Set the MIDI channel of the Slots you don’t want to use, to ‘Off’. This is to ensure they don’t play

any sound unintentionally. See “Slot Channels” on page 119 for details on how to set up MIDI

channels for the Slots.

3. Select the desired Program for each Slot.

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

5. Activate recording and play the Nord Lead 3.

6. To overdub with a new sound, just select a new Track and a new MIDI Channel in the sequencer.

For the Nord Lead 3 to transmit and receive Program Change and Bank Select (MIDI CC# 32) messages,

Program Change must be activated, (see “Program Change & MIDI Controllers” on page 121).

• To record a Bank Select message and Program Change for a certain Slot, activate recording in the

sequencer and simply select a new Program for the Slot. The Bank Select message will always be trans-

mitted prior to the Program Change message.

• To record a Bank Select message and Program Change of a Performance, go into Performance mode,

activate recording in the sequencer and select the Performance from the front panel. The Bank Select

message will always be transmitted prior to the Program Change message.

When playing back the Bank Select message and Performance Program Change message from the se-

quencer, make sure it gets transmitted on the Nord Lead’s Global MIDI Channel and that the Nord

Lead 3 is in Performance mode. (see “Performances” on page 17 and “MIDI Global” on page 120).

For the Nord Lead 3 to transmit and receive Control Change messages it must be activated, see “Program

Change & MIDI Controllers” on page 121. Modulation Wheel and Pedal data, however, are always

transmitted/received.

When you record Knob movements, make sure you have the right Program 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 to receive on the same MIDI Channel, all Programs in these Slots

will be affected by the changes!

Please read the note about Controller transmission in Local Off mode in “Local” on page 120.
