Pitchbend and Control Change for Sample Synth?

Post by overkeys »

I'm trying to control Nord Electro 6D 61 by an external keyboard via MIDI. I noticed that the Sample Synth section (and the Piano section) does not respond to pitchbend or control change (like #11 expression), although the Organ section does. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the Sample Synth (and Piano) section responsive to external PB and CCs?

Hi and welcome to NUF...

see https://www.nordkeyboards.com/products/ ... te-history
NE 0S v1.12 (2018-06-01)
(..)
MIDI Pitch Bend is now listened to on External KB MIDI channel.


(for synth only, piano engine does not support PB); all other supported CCs are in the related NE6 manual appendix, what is not there is not supported.

maxpiano, thank you very much for the information! I tried sending PB and CC from the External KB MIDI channel (16), but still only the Organ section responded. Am I misunderstanding?

I found related messages from you and others in another topic "Has anyone DIY'd a pitch bend yet? I intend to," and I now understand that PB and CC work "only when you are also using the keys on the external keyboard." Thank you! I guess I will have to do some routing if I want to use the keys on Nord Electro while receiving external PB and CCs.
