The O
CTAVE SHIFT
buttons in the extern section also work exactly as for internal instruments. As with
them, the shift range depends on the total note range of the external instrument, and the range of the Key-
board Zone(s) that the external instrument is currently assigned to. See “Octave Shift” on page 52.

MESSAGES
By pressing S
HIFT
and one of the O
CTAVE SHIFT buttons you can set up whether Nord Stage should
send Pitch bend and/or Sustain pedal messages via the Extern MIDI channel (a lit LED indicates it is acti-
vated).
THE PARAMETER SECTION
The Parameter section comprises the three buttons in the Parameter Select section and the P
ARAMETER
rotary encoder at the top. Simply put, you select a parameter and vary the value of the selected parameter
with the rotary knob. The P
ARAMETER
rotary encoder can also be Morph controlled - see page 54.
The following parameters can be set using the Parameter Select buttons:
V
OLUME
If this is activated, the P
ARAMETER
rotary encoder will send MIDI Volume messages (0-127), allowing
you to control the level of the external device. The external instrument may have to be set to receive MIDI
CC messages for this to function. You can turn this off on the Extern menu - see “Extern menu” on page 63.
P
ROG
C
HANGE
When this is on, the P
ARAMETER
rotary encoder will send Program Change messages (0-127). This allows
you to select Programs for the external instrument. This works slightly differently than for other parame-
ters. The Parameter rotary encoder will in this mode send a Program Change message for each individual
rotary encoder LED. To access all 127 messages simply continue to turn the rotary encoder multiple times
- it will continue to send messages across the whole range. The external instrument may have to be set to
receive MIDI Program Change messages for this to function.
You can turn this off on the Extern menu - see “Extern menu” on page 63.
(If the external instrument organizes programs in Banks, there is an option to send Bank Change messages
on the Extern Menu page, - see “Extern menu” on page 63.)
