Can anyone help me?
I’ve bought a second hand Nord Electro 3 on eBay and looked at the user manual online.
Whatever I do, I cannot change the organ sound in any of the 128 program settings (1A - 1B to 64A - 64B). Annoying doesn’t even cover it ! I cannot understand what I’m doing wrong
Is there a ‘select’ or ‘enter’ button which I’m missing ?
Any advice would be gratefully received

Cheers
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

welcome to this great community of Nord users and enthusiasts!

Can you explain in more detail what you are looking to achieve, what you are doing exactly and what's not working right now, to get a clearer idea of what's going wrong?

Hi Patrick,

welcome to this great community of Nord users and enthusiasts! …

Yep.

Sounds like the Memory Protect is on.

Press Shift + System and use the Up/Down buttons to select the Memory Protect Option – this is the very first option in the System menu.

Set the memory protection to Off by pressing and holding Shift and the Up or Down buttons. Exit the System menu by pressing the Prog A / System button again.

One question - did you do a factory restore of the Nord after you bought it? It might pay to "straighten the soup cans" and have all the previous owner's programs and fiddlings removed. Then you can start fresh.

Here is the link for the factory restore for the Electro 3. Scroll down and you will see two Factory Restore files, one for the Electro 3 and one for the Electro 3 HP. There is also a PDF of instructions.
