Nord Stage 4 - switching Layer Scene I/II via MIDI CC (in Ableton)

Post by kult_brandenburg »

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.. :)
