Slave 2nd Midi Controller - Patch Changes?

Postby ChubbyArse » 09 Apr 2018, 14:17

Hi Guys,

I plan to purchase a controller keyboard to accompany my Stage 2 - I would like to use it to play sounds from Slot B. However, I would like some live control using the 2nd Slave keyboard - in that if I wish to change sounds, then I can do it via a button on the slave.

So, given that I am playing a piano on the Nord on Slot A, can I switch between Organ and Strings on Slot B via a program change programmed into the slave keyboard. To that end, are you able to program a host of patches / programs and cycle through them using buttons on a 2nd controller, but still use Slot A on the Nord and only change that via the Nord?

Essentially, I want a second keyboard using the Nord sounds, without having to buy another full keyboard. Thanks.

Hi Chubby,

You can use MIDI CC to turn on/off specific engines on the Nord.
So If you have a program with on Slot A piano and on Slot B Organ/Synth (strings), you could toggle on/off for organ/synth (strings).
Or use morphing (controlled by the modulation wheel) to set the volumes of both parts.

A note: if you are using an external keyboard to change programs on the Stage, the Stage is the slave, as it obeys the master.
