VIBRATO
The original B-3 chorus and vibrato scanner consists of a tapped delay line
in combination with a rotating scanner. For the Vibrato effect, phase shift
is applied to the signal. For the Chorus effect, the phase modulated signal
is added to the original signal. A lot of time and effort have been spent in
accurately recreating the chorus and vibrato scanner effect. Like on the
original, Nord Electro 2 offers three different types of choruses (C1-C3) and
three different types of vibratos (V1-V3). Select one of these types by press-
ing the S
ELECTOR button. You activate and deactivate the Vibrato section by pressing the ON button.
MANUAL
In the Manual section you can choose to split the Nord Electro 2 keyboard into
two sections, the Lower Manual and the Upper Manual. Each Manual can have
its own drawbar, percussion and chorus/vibrato settings. If you don’t use the Split
function you will only have access to the Upper Manual settings from the internal
keyboard.
K
EYBOARD SPLIT
Press the SPLIT button to divide the Nord Electro 2 keyboard into two sections, the Lower Manual and
Upper Manual sections. By default, the split point on the keyboard is between the keys E4 and F4 (Nord
Electro 2 61) and between the keys B3 and C4 (Nord Electro 2 73). You can, however, also set the split
point manually by pressing S
HIFT + the desired key. A manually set split point can be saved with the pro-
gram.
U
PPER AND LOWER
Press the corresponding button to “highlight” the settings for the respective Manual. Each Manual can
have its own drawbar, chorus/vibrato (on/off) and Octave Shift settings. If you don’t use the Split function,
or use an additional MIDI keyboard (see below), you will only be able to play the Upper Manual from the
internal keyboard. Note that the Percussion effect can only be used for the Upper Manual in any situation.

KEYBOARD
As a special feature of Nord Electro
2 you can connect a second key-
board via MIDI In to use as a Lower
Manual keyboard. This way you
can play the internal keyboard as
the Upper Manual and the addi-
tional MIDI keyboard as the Lower
Manual. Since the organ has full
polyphony you’ll have this also
when using an additional Lower
Manual MIDI keyboard! Do like this to set up the Nord Electro 2 for use with a second keyboard:
1. Connect the additional MIDI keyboard’s MIDI Out to the Nord Electro 2’s MIDI I
N.
2. Select a MIDI channel on the external keyboard.
