ABOUT THE MIDI IMPLEMENTATION
The following MIDI messages can be transmitted and received from Nord Stage:
N
OTE
O
N
/O
FF
• Note On and Note Off messages are sended and received.
P
ITCH
B
END
• Pitch Bend messages are sended and received by Nord Stage.
C
ONTROLLERS
• If you have an Control/Expression pedal connected to the O
RGAN SWELL INPUT
, this is transmitted
and received as Controller 4.
• If you have an Control/Expression pedal connected to the C
ONTROL PEDAL INPUT
, this is transmitted
and received as Controller 11 (Expression). By using the Morph function you can control most of Nord
Stage’s parameters with a Control pedal.
• If you have a sustain pedal connected to the S
USTAIN PEDAL INPUT
, this is transmitted and received
as Controller 64 (Sustain Pedal).
• If you have a sustain pedal connected to the R
OTOR
S
PEED
I
NPUT
, this is transmitted and received as
Controller 90.
• Almost all other controls (knobs and buttons) on the front panel are also transmitted and received as
Control Change messages. This can be used to record your actions on the front panel into a MIDI
sequencer. For a full list of which parameters correspond to which Controller number, see the MIDI
implementation chapter on page 70.

EYBOARD
V
ELOCITY
Nord Stage can transmit and receive Keyboard Velocity messages. Organ sounds will always be played
back at nominal level regardless of incoming MIDI Velocity data.
A
FTERTOUCH
The Nord Stage keyboard can transmit 'Aftertouch' (sometimes called channel pressure). The player can
apply more pressure on a key while it is down; and this will generate a signal that can be used to control
parameters - see “About Aftertouch” on page 56.
P
ROGRAM
C
HANGE
When you select a Program, a Program Change message is transmitted via MIDI on the selected MIDI
Channel. If a Program Change message is received on the selected MIDI Channel, Nord Stage will change
Program accordingly. The 126 Program locations send and respond to Program Change values 0-125.
