Common Nord Stage 3 Questions
How do I send MIDI program changes from the Nord Stage 3 to an external synth?
First, ensure the 'Global MIDI Channel' is set correctly in the MIDI menu. Then, select the desired Program (patch) on the Stage 3 and use the 'External Section' to send program change and bank select messages, configuring the MIDI channel, bank select, and program number within the 'External Section' settings.
Where are user patches/programs stored on the Nord Stage 3, and how do I back them up?
User patches are stored in the Stage 3's internal memory; you back them up by connecting the Stage 3 to a computer via USB and using the Nord Sound Manager software to transfer your Stage 3 program and song data for safekeeping.
How do I easily layer multiple sounds on the Nord Stage 3?
Use the Panel A and Panel B sections; select a sound on each panel, adjust the volumes using the panel controls, and engage 'Layer' mode (typically activated with a button press) to play both sounds simultaneously.
My Nord Stage 3 screen is frozen/ unresponsive. What can I do?
Try performing a power cycle by turning the unit off and then back on. If the problem persists, attempt a factory reset (refer to the manual for specific instructions) which may require holding specific buttons while powering on the device; if that fails, contact Nord support.
What is the 'Live Mode' feature on the Nord Stage 3, and how do I use it?
Live Mode allows you to store and quickly recall up to 5 'Live Setups', which include all panel settings, effects, and external control assignments for instantaneous access during live performance; access and assign settings within the 'Live' menu on the device to configure and access this function.
