Nord User Forum

Just got my Nord Electro 5HP, and loving it. I'm getting a bit confused in the set list mode when I'm tweaking sounds for my song. The specific problem is when I want to edit a "Program Sound" that is part of my SONG while in SET LIST mode. For example, let's say I have a song called "Sweet Daisey" that uses "Piano + Pad" (Program A), then "Organ Fuzz" (Program B), and then "Soft Pad" (Program C). While rehearsing the song at band practice, I realize that I want to tweak the "Organ Fuzz" sound, and make sure to save it to the Program that is associated with the Song in my Set List. THAT is exactly where I run into a problem. How do I edit a PROGRAM SOUND that is connected to my SONG in my SETLIST without exiting the SETLIST mode, and then going to find the song in PROGRAM mode, making the tweak, saving it, and then going back to the song in set list mode.

I am sure that if you are unfamiliar with how Set Lists, Songs and Programs work in the Nord Electro 5, this will all sound baffling. But if there is anyone out there that can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.

See page 12 of the manual

You also have the option to store an edited Program from within set list mode. simply press down on the A-D button corresponding to the Program you want to store, and from there pro- cede as usual when storing a Program (see “storing and naming Programs” on page 6).

The UX related to the Set List management is very poor. Period.

In setlist mode you can make changes on the spot and save them as mentioned hereforth. Adjusting volumes even the balance knob will be saved directly in the respective programs. Setlist do not contain any program changes.

I agree it could be better, but the fact that it is even there in the first place is quite promising. I suspect that Nord will continue to improve upon this. I really like the fact that each song can hold 4 sounds and I can quickly re-order things on the fly without needing a computer hooked up to it. I still use my NS2 most often for gigs, and I really miss out on the Set List functionality. Whenever they release a NS3, it would surely have an even better rendition of the Set List.

A big THANK YOU for a voice of reason. Keyboard design, like life itself, is an evolutionary process. Perhaps it could be better, yes, but sometimes one needs to try something new and put it into regular use in order to discover improvements.

The Setlist Feature was/is a brilliant addition to the Nord/Electro family and as it accrues mileage under its belt I have to think that future Nord designs will build upon this foundation.

Better a poor user interface than no Set List at all.
I wish the NS2 had one!

You can change any sound from within a song on the spot and save it. BUT you need to have separate PROGRAMS first that are exclusively linked to this song. Otherwise you keep changing the basic first four standard programs!
