Please Read The Manual!

Post by DJKeys »

I would like to strongly encourage all those new to Nord Keyboards to please first read the manual. Go through all of the examples in real time. There is no better way to learn the instrument. Nord does things differently than the rest of the keyboard manufacturers, with a different architecture and language. It can seem daunting and confusing at first glance. However, once you familiarize yourself with the Nord world, things that seem confounding at first will be simple and straightforward. Nord keyboards are extremely intuitive once you learn how they operate.

Make music and have fun!

One important thing is that the manual is extra thin and very well written (compared to other brands).
Well worth the hour to read and experience with it !

"Experience" is the key word, the manual should be read while at the instrument and experimenting what you read immediately so that it is turned into practice and at that point you won't need it any more if not for future reference (this instead will not happen if you read it for example late at night, in bed and while falling asleep, of course :mrgreen: )
