Nord User Forum

Hello I have just purchased the Nord Stage 4. I am totally blind and if possible, can someone give me a description of the front panel's buttons and knobs in either text or Ms-Word format?
I know that this is an unusual request and the time to create this file may be quite lengthy and involved but to whoever can do this, it would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks in advanced.

Two questions:
- I guess you need the words/labels that are written above (normal function) and below (shift function) each knob and button?
- And how to handle these SHIFT functions?
- What order would be most helpful for you, because they are rather arranged in some sort of matrix and not just linearly from left to right?

I'm not sure so I'll leave it up to you to do the best you can and I'll do my best to sort it all out. If it's ok, we may have to try more than once but I think that (between the two of us), we can get it right.

Hi and welcome to the Forum - congrats on your new Nord Stage 4!

Would something like the Seeing AI app by microsoft work?

Alternatively, the manual has everything in super crisp graphics, although not in text but vector text that cannot be selected... but OCR apps / software should be able to describe it.
hope this helps

HI Blinken, how about we have a phone call for half an hour, both with our Nords in front of us, and talk through it? Would that be easier than trying to describe "third knob from the left, 4th row down, with Shift pressed...." etc? Happy to help, just not sure of the best way to do that.

do you still need this?

I’d be interested in helping out in this endeavor. I’d be happy to help make a tutorial video or another type of front panel walkthrough.
