Hi I have a question.. I bought yesterday a second hand nord lead 3 keyboard ( I have two nord rack 2x too)...

My question is.

When I turn on the nord lead 3 always is in local OFF Mode.. I change it into midi section but the next time I turn on the synth is in Local OFF Mode again.. How can I put always the synth in local On?

best regards...

I have a déja-vu... Very Happy

PRESS MIDI AND NAVIGATE TO LOCAL
Here you set whether the Nord Lead 3 keyboard and front panel controllers should control internal Programs/
Performances or only send MIDI. Local On is the normal “play mode”. In Local Off mode, the
front panel and keyboard actions are transmitted via MIDI only and does not control the internal
sound(s) at all. (The MIDI In works as usual, though.)
Local Off should be used when you use a sequencer to record and play back from Nord Lead 3. When
using a sequencer, you connect the MIDI Out of Nord Lead 3 to the sequencer’s MIDI In. Then, from
the sequencer’s MIDI Out back to the Nord Lead 3’s MIDI In. Since the sequencer echoes back incoming
MIDI data, Nord Lead 3 will respond normally to your playing and knob tweaking via the MIDI“loop”.
If you use Local On in the sequencer setup described above, you will get double-notes when you play:
from the keyboard internally and via the MIDI “loop”. This is not what you want. Therefore, always use
Local Off together with sequencers.
Select Local On or Local Off with the ROTARY DIAL.
Note: Don’t forget to use the ‘store System Settings’ function of the Synth menu described on page
128 before powering off Nord Lead 3. Otherwise the changes you have made won’t be recalled the next
time you power up.
PRESS SYNTH AND NAVIGATE TO SYSTEM SETTINGS
Here you store all parameter values of the Synth menu as well as a number of other settings including
what Programs should be loaded in each Slot, which Slot should be active/selected, MIDI settings, Master
Clock settings etc. Press the RIGHT NAVIGATOR button to store System Settings to the internal Flash
memory of Nord Lead 3.
Note: If you don’t store the System Settings before powering off Nord Lead 3, the previously stored
System Settings will be recalled at the next power-up.
