ROGRAM
Actually, how to change a programmed sound can be described in one sentence: “tweak the knobs and
press the buttons”. It is as simple as that! Don’t be afraid to edit and overwrite the factory Programs. If you
want to restore any of the original factory programs later, you can download them at http://www.clavia.se
and transfer them to your Nord Stage as MIDI SysEx files. To indicate that a Program has been edited
(changed from the stored version), an asterisk is shown to the right of the Program number in the D

ACTIVATING INSTRUMENT SECTIONS
There are three main instrument sections in Nord Stage: the Organ section, the Pi-
ano section and the Synth section. You can activate/deactivate instrument sections
in the following ways:
• Pressing the KB Z
ONE SELECT ON/OFF button for an Instrument section so
that one or more of the LEDs lights up will activate the corresponding instrument. If all LEDs are lit,
the instrument will play across the whole range of the keyboard. Any other active instrument(s) will in
this case be layered with the instrument you just activated.
• Pressing the KB Z
ONE SELECT
button for an active Instrument section (so that the LEDs go dark)
will turn off the corresponding section.
• For information on how to use splits see the chapter “Keyboard Zones and Dual Panel setups” on
page 50.

Alternatively, you can use the following method to select one of four basic I
NSTRUMENT INIT
setups (Or-
gan/Split Organ/Piano/Synth). This will activate the corresponding instrument, and deactivate all other in-
struments.
1. Hold down the S
HIFT
button.
2. Press one of the O
RGAN, SPLIT ORGAN, PIANO OR SYNTH buttons in the Program section to acti-
vate the corresponding instrument section. The “Split Organ” setup uses a split for a Lower/Upper
manual organ where the lower half of the keyboard plays an organ belonging to Panel A and the upper
half plays Panel B (see “About Split Organ Setups” on page 26).
