Hello,
I would like to use my Nord Stage 4 as a midi controller for my rig. Is it doable with the NS4?
Can the faders be programed to transmit data on multiple midi channels?

Re: Nord Stage 4 as a controller
The Stage 4 is certainly sort of a controller keyboard, but not that flexible as a genuine MIDI controller. It primarily controls itself.
There are different types of faders you may be talking about: The organ drawbars are just that; moving them around will transmit MIDI data, but not progammable. The volume faders for the different layers primarily do just that as well (volume control) - except for the 3 synth volume faders which can be programmed for flexible MIDI tasks instead of their original meaning: Every synth layer you want to use for controlling MIDI won't be available as a synth layer anymore.
