Local

This is used to turn Local Control on and off.

▼ Local On is the normal Play Mode.

▼ In Local Off mode, the front panel actions and your keyboard playing are transmitted via MIDI, but are

not used to play the synthesizer directly. MIDI Input, however, works normally.

This mode is used with sequencers, when the Nord Lead 2 is used both for recording and playing back

MIDI, and when the sequencer has a MIDI Thru function (sometimes called “Merge” or “echo-back”).

When you turn on power, the instrument is always in Local On Mode.

About Local Control and Control Change Transmission

The Local Control setting also affects the front panel.

▼ In Local Off mode the front panel controls can not be used to change the sound directly, they must be

routed via MIDI, just as the keyboard.

▼ However, if you use the Prog/Ctrl function to turn off reception and transmission of Control Change mes-

sages altogether, the front panel controls can again be used to change the sound directly, since otherwise

there would be no way to use the front panel controls at all.

Prog/Ctrl

This is used for setting how Program Change and Control Change MIDI messages should be handled,

and for turning the Arpeggio MIDI Out feature on and off.

These parameters are Global for the entire instrument, that is, the settings are valid for all Performances

and Programs.

To switch between the three different parameters, press the Prog/Ctrl button. The left character in the

display switches between “P” (Program), “C” (Control) and “A” (Arpeggio).

For the two first parameters (“P” and “C”) you use the Program Select buttons to switch between “of” and

“on”. The “of” value means that no data of that type is transmitted or received; “on” means that type of

data is both transmitted and received. The Arpeggio MIDI Out feature requires some explanation:

Arpeggio and MIDI Out

If you want to, generated arpeggios can be sent out as MIDI notes. This makes it possible to arpeggiate

chords on connected synthesizers and sound modules, and to record arpeggios in a sequencer. You ac-

tivate it using the Prg. Ctrl. menu:

1. Press the Prg/Ctrl button to select parameter.

The left character in the display switches between “P” (Program), “C” (Control) and “A” (Arpeggio).

2. Use the Program Up and Down buttons to switch between “of” and “on”.
