The two banks (A & B) are duplicated when the Nord Piano 2 HP
leaves the factory. This allows you to start storing sounds at once
in one of these banks without having to worry that you overwrite
something.
Memory Protection
If you are happy with an edit that you have made, you should probably
Store the program . Before you can do this, we need to turn off the
Memory Protect function .
1
Press Shift + Program 1/System to enter the System Menu .
2
Use the Up/Down buttons to select the Memory Protect Mode –
this is the very first option in the System menu .
3
Set the memory protection to Off by pressing and holding Shift
and then press the Down button .
Exit the System menu by pressing the Shift button again .
M
The setting of the memory protection will be remembered even if
the Nord Piano 2 HP is turned off.
Storing a program
Let’s store a program .
1
Press the Store button once .
The Store LED starts flashing and the display will give you a visual
indication of the location .
2
If you want to replace the previous program with your new set-
tings, press the Store button again .
3
If you want to store your new settings in a different location, use
the Page and Program buttons to select a new location where you
want to store the program .
4
If you want to save the Program in the other Bank, press the Up/
Down buttons repeatedly until you reach the next (or previous)
Bank .
The name of the new destination will be shown in the display. You
can also check the sound/settings of that program itself by playing
on the Nord Piano 2 HP. This prevents you from overwriting a
program that you want to keep.
5
Press the Store button a second time to confirm your intention .
The edited program has now replaced the previous one in the location
you specified .
M
To cancel the storing procedure, press any button except for the
Bank, Live Mode or Program buttons.
M
With Memory Protect set to Off, a double tap on the Store button
will store a Program in its original location.
Live Mode
The Live Mode can be described as 5 “live program memories” . If you
press the Live Mode button to turn Live Mode on, all changes to the
panel settings you make will be continuously stored . If you switch the
power off, or select another program, the settings you made are still
stored in the 5 Live Mode programs, so when you power up next time
(or return to that particular Live Mode program) all settings will be
exactly as they were when you left them .
If the Live Mode is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program instead, you can do so using the
standard methods (see above) . You can also store programs into any-
one of the five Live Mode memory locations, in which case the program
settings will replace that current Live Mode memory settings .
Selecting a Sample Synth sound
1
Press the Sample Synth On button . If you are still using the
A:01:01 sound, this will add strings in a layer with the Grand
piano . The name of the sample will be shown in the display .
2
Press repeatedly on the Up
or Down buttons in the Synth
section to listen to the various
samples that are in the Nord
Piano 2 HP’s factory sounds .
3
You can adjust the level of the
Sample Synth with the Level
knob .
