If you like to use an external keyboard to control one of the Panels, you set it up as follows:
• Select a MIDI channel to transmit over from the external keyboard, and select the same MIDI channel
as the “Dual KB” channel on the Nord Stage MIDI page menu - see “MIDI menu” on page 62.
• Press S
HIFT
and the P
ANEL B button so that the DUAL KB indicator lights up.
Now the internal keyboard will control Panel A and the external keyboard will control Panel B. It is not
possible to activate both Panels in this mode.
This function is ideal for live situations when you have a second keyboard in your rig that you mostly use
to play internal sounds, but would in certain circumstances like to use to play the Nord Stage “double man-
ual”. By activating Dual KB you can quickly switch between these modes without having to bother with
MIDI menus. Having this function easily accessible on the front panel makes its easy to turn off and pre-
vent the external keyboard to play when its used to play its own sounds.
