Clavia Nord Piano 2 HP, User Manual

System Menu

Memory Protect – On, Off

This is set to “On” when the Nord Piano 2 HP leaves the factory, mean-
ing that you (or a “cousin”) cannot store any changes to the programs . 
Set this to Off when you wish to store your own programs . The System, 
MIDI or Sound menu settings and the Live memory are not protected by 
this setting .

Range: On (default), Off

Fine Tune

This allows you to fine tune the pitch of the Nord Piano 2 HP .

Range: +/- 50 cent (default = 0).

Global Transpose

This allows you to transpose the entire Nord Piano 2 HP in semitone 
steps . Any setting you make here will be added to the panel transpose 
that may be saved with the programs .

Range: +/- 6 semitones (default = 0).

MIDI Menu

MIDI Channel

This sets the MIDI Channel that the Nord Piano 2 HP transmits and 
responds to . Use the USB channel settings if you want to transmit and 
receive keyboard and panel MIDI messages via the USB interface .

Range: 1-16, USB1 - USB16, Off (default = USB 1)

Local Control

This allows you to set if the Nord Piano 2 HP keyboard and front 
panel controls should control internal Programs or only send note and 
controller messages via MIDI . Local On is the normal “mode” . In Local 
Off mode, the front panel and keyboard action are transmitted via MIDI 
only and does not control the internal sounds or functions directly .

Range: On (default), Off

M

Local defaults back to Local On every time the Nord Piano 2 HP is 
powered on.

Control Change (CC) Mode

This setting specifies how the front panel’s knobs and buttons are han-
dled in the MIDI communication with MIDI Control Change messages . 
You can select if the panel controls should either send or receive, or 
both or if Control Change messages should be ignored .

Range: Send/Recv (default), Receive, Send, Off

Program Change Mode

Specifies how the Nord Piano 2 HP should handle MIDI Program 
Change messages .

Range: Send/Recv (default), Receive, Send, Off

Send CC 

You can send a package of all the active Program’s parameters as 
MIDI Control Change messages . Press the Store button to perform the 
transmission .

The Menus

Any settings that you change in the System, MIDI, Sound or Pedal menus will take immediate effect on a global basis, and the settings will be stored 
until you change them the next time . Enter the menus by pressing and holding Shift and the System, MIDI, Sound or Pedal button (program but-
tons 1 to 4) . Select a function with the Up/Down buttons and change the setting by pressing and holding Shift and the Up or Down button . Exit the 
menus by pressing a second time on the program buttons or on the Shift/Exit button .

M

There is one exception, one menu setting that doesn’t get automatically stored when you power off the Piano 2 HP, and this is the MIDI Local 
On/Off setting. This always reverts to Local On every time the Nord Piano 2 HP is powered up.
