Hey everyone,
I just got my Nord Stage 4 and I'm currently rebuilding my Nord Stage 2 patches to the NS4.
On the Nord Stage 2 you were able to automate changes between Slot A and B via #68 and then lower or higher than 64.
Does anyone know if there is a similar way to handle automated changes between Layer Scene I and II on the NS4 via MIDI?
I'd love to concentrate on playing keys only and not changing sounds (especially important when a sub plays). At the same time I'd love to avoid using a new program for every little change in sound.
Thanks for your help! <3
Niklas

Hi !
CC 8 seems to control the layer scene.
Check manual p67 : appendix midi CC controls
Regards

Wow, you're quick! That was the solution. Sorry, I didn't check the manual carefully enough.
Have a great day! <3

I'm doing the same thing in Logic Pro for our Falco Tribute Project! 
Doing quick switches while playing which would be far too quick or audible with a foot switch / pedal..
