Nord Electro 2 - 61 keys octave shift

Hi all-

I am looking to see if I can do an upper octave shift. I have a 61-key Nord Electro 2 and when I select the piano mode. it looks like I only have control for a lower shift one octave, then back.

Is there any way I can change this? Am I doing something wrong? I want to see if I can do a upper octave shift as well so I can hit some of the high notes.

Thanks,

Nate

Most piano samples are made for 73 keys (sometimes 76!), so having 61 real keys there is only i octave left...
In the 73 keys version there are 3 contacts un-used, but they trigger notes! The keys 'can' be added to the Electro2.
