Creating a Split

When the Split function is ON, the lower part of the keyboard plays on

Slots A and B and the upper part on Slots C and D.

1 Hold Slot A and press Slot C to activate both these slots.

2 Hold Shift and press Split. This splits the keyboard in two halves.

Slots A and B will be to the left, Slots C and D to the right.

Setting the Split point

Hold Shift and press and hold the Split button. A note number will be

indicated in the display. While still holding the buttons, play a key on the

keyboard, this key will be the lowest key of the upper range.

Copy and Paste between Slots

Settings from one Slot can be copied to a virtual clipboard and then

be pasted to another Slot. This can be useful if a program needs to be

moved from the lower part (A and B) to the upper part (C and D).

1 Hold Copy and press the source Slot button.

“CP” and a letter that indicates which Slot you have copied will be

shown in the display.

2 Hold Shift + Paste, and press the Slot button where you want

your settings to be copied to. “PS” and the destination Slot will be

shown in the display.

The content of the virtual clipboard will remain until you copy another

setting or parameter, or turn off the Nord Lead A1. This makes it pos-

sible to paste the same data to several destinations.

M If you want to keep the new settings you have created by copying,

make sure to save the program or performance.

Working with Performances

To handle layers, splits on/off, split points and keyboard octave shift,

there is a need for storing and loading complex scenarios. This is done

with the Performance Mode function.

In Performance Mode, all slots and their active status are stored.

Selecting Performances

1 Press the Perf Mode button to select the Performance Mode.

2 Turning the Program Dial will

scroll through the 200 perfor-

mances, “A. 1” to “d.50”. As

you will notice, some of the

performances are made with

several Slots on top of each other, others are in split conﬁgura-

tions with different sounds to either side of the keyboard.

Editing a Performance

To replace one of the programs in a performance, hold the Slot button

with the program you wish to replace and turn the Program Dial.

Storing a Performance

Storing a performance uses the same procedure as storing programs,

see page 9.

Storing Programs as a Performance

If you have made layers or splits in Program Mode, you can transfer

this to a Performance during the Store process.

1 Hold Shift and press Store.

The display starts ﬂashing.

2 Press Perf Mode to activate Performance Mode.

3 Select the desired Performance location and press Shift + Store a

second time.

Setting up a Morph

The Morph is a powerful method to control one or several parameters

in real-time, with the Modulation Wheel or Keyboard Velocity. A Morph

is very easy to set up.

1 Hold one of the Morph buttons, let’s use the Wheel in this

example.

2 While holding the Wheel

Morph button, turn a

parameter knob, like the

Filter Freq.

3 Release the Morph

Wheel button. The

Modulation Wheel can

now be used to control the ﬁlter frequency.

M The range that the Morph (Modulation Wheel) controls will be the

range that was set when you turned the Filter Freq knob.
