Hello, I've got LOGIC PRO X, just got a NORD LEAD 4 and I'd like to use it as a midi keyboard that plays the midi sounds of logic without any audio from the NORD
I can not manage to have any sound out of it, is there anything I need to change on the NORD LEAD 4? cheers

Re: NORD LEAD 4 USED AS MIDI KEYBOARD
See manual https://www.nordkeyboards.com/sites/def ... on%20H.pdf at page 46 "Sequencing: Global MIDI Channel": check or set Global Channel to 1, connect NL4 to the Mac via USB then set Logic X instruments channel strips to use that MIDI input (NL4's) on that Channel.
If you don't want any sound from NL4, set Local = OFF in the MIDI menu (manual page 44) or create an "empty" Program.

When I'm using boards just as midi key I usually simply turn down the volume knob to zero on the board.

Re: NORD LEAD 4 USED AS MIDI KEYBOARD
OKAY I am so confused as I really do not know how to use the MIDI programm on the NORD LEAD 4, I see there is written MIDI in the programm section but I don't know how to access to the local off, when I press SHIFT I can go to a different menu but what's the manipulation to do? because I still have no sound even though in LOGIC it's set up as midi out 1

Re: NORD LEAD 4 USED AS MIDI KEYBOARD
You should read the NlL4 manual first... all of it...
(and try what you read while reading, you will learn a lot and stop wasting time by trial and error, same applies to Logic X),
