Hi,
I have a problem with saving the Global MIDI settings.
When I turn on the synthesizer, the Global MIDI channel is 16.
I change it to the value I need, but after restarting it goes back to 16 again.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

I have the same problem with memory protect.
I turn it on, but after restarting it is off again.

You need to turn Memory Protect off, then make the changes and then better if you leave it always OFF (just do a backup from time to time, in case you'll need to restore programs and settings)xmachina1 wrote: Today, 11:03 I have the same problem with memory protect.

NOTE: from NL3 manual
Don’t forget to use the ‘store System Settings’ function described on page 128 before powering off Nord Lead 3. Otherwise the changes you have made won’t be recalled the next time you power up.
