3. Select the same MIDI channel on the Nord Electro
2 by first pressing S
HIFT
+ P
ROGRAM 2 (LOWER
CH) buttons and then scroll with the U
P/DOWN
N
AVIGATOR
buttons.
Note: The MIDI channel set for reception of the
additional MIDI keyboard should be different
from the “public” MIDI Channel (see “MIDI Ch”
on page 34). If the MIDI CH and LOWER CH are
the same, playing the additional keyboard would
produce a layered sound of the Upper Manual and
Lower Manual sounds together. This is normally
not what you want.
4. Press any button (except for the S
HIFT, STORE or UP/DOWN buttons) to exit.
S
WELL CONTROL
(
FROM EXPRESSION PEDAL
)
Swell is the characteristic B-3 volume function that you control from the B-3’s pedal. Swell is not only a
volume control - it also changes the character of the sound in a special way. To use Swell control on the
Nord Electro 2, simply plug in a standard resistive expression pedal to the C
ONTROL PEDAL input on the
rear panel (see “Connecting pedals” on page 9).
Note that the expression pedal will only control Swell on Organ sounds - not the volume on Pi-
ano sounds. Also, if you use Wah-Wah as modulation effect (see “Wah-Wah 1&2” on page 30),
the expression pedal will instead control the Wah-Wah effect and not Swell.

S
PEAKER
The Rotary Speaker simulation in Nord Electro 2 can be found in the Effects section.
The reason for this is that you can use it also for Piano sounds. The Rotary Speaker
simulation is really something above the ordinary. It’s not only simulating the rotat-
ing speaker and drum but also the built-in amplifier of the original Leslie 122 speaker.
Activate or deactivate the Rotary Speaker simulation by pressing the O
N
button.
Switch between fast and slow rotor speeds by pressing the F
AST
button. To stop the
rotors (but not disabling the Rotary Speaker simulation), press the S
TOP
button.
When you press the S
TOP
button again the rotors will accelerate to the speed they
had when you first pressed S
TOP
.
R
OTOR SPEED CONTROL FROM PEDAL
By plugging in a sustain pedal in the R
OTOR SPEED PEDAL input you can control the speed selection
from a pedal. It’s also possible to use a sustain pedal connected to the S
USTAIN PEDAL input to control
the speed selection. Please refer to “Config” on page 36 for information on how to set up Nord Electro 2
for operation with sustain/switch pedals.
