Pedal Connections

The Nord Electro 4 HP/SW has three pedal inputs; one for a sustain

pedal, one for a pedal to control the rotor speed and one for a control

pedal (an expression type pedal), which can be used to control various

parameters.

Sustain Pedal

¼" connector for a switch type pedal. When a connected pedal is

operated, the notes you play will be sustained.

Rotor Pedal

¼" connector for a switch type pedal. When a connected pedal is

operated, the rotary speed will change.

M Two types of pedal polarities can be used with these inputs; you

select the one that applies to each pedal, in the System menu

which is described on page 17.

 It is possible to use only one pedal connected to the sustain pedal

input to control sustain for piano sounds and rotary speed selection

for organ sounds page 17.

Control Pedal

¼" stereo connector for a pedal of the potentiometer type (also known

as expression pedals). A connected pedal can be used as a swell pedal

for the organs, a volume pedal for pianos and samples and also as a

controller for two of the effects: the P-wah and the ring modulator (RM).

When connecting an expression pedal to the Control Pedal input,

please note that the pedal must have a stereo output jack. The resis-

tance range of a control pedal should be 10 or 50 kOhm. To simplify

setup, the most common pedal models (Roland, Yamaha, Korg and

Fatar) are pre-conﬁgured in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW, and you simply

select the type of pedal which you want to use in the System menu.

The System Menu is described on page 17.
