PROGRAM
The Program section provides access to performance functions such as
loading and storing programs, access to Live programs, keyboard split
functionality and more. This is also where menus containing System,
Sound and MIDI settings are found. The menus and their settings are
covered in a separate chapter, starting on page 22.
STORE
The STORE button is used for storing an edited program
to any location in the program banks. Storing a program
will overwrite the existing data in the selected memory
location.
M When the Nord Piano 4 is shipped from factory its
memory is protected, to avoid accidental overwriting of programs.
To be able to store Programs, the Memory Protect parameter
needs to be set to “Off” in the System menu. Read more about this
on page 22.
