System Menu

Memory Protect – On, Off

This is set to “On” when the Nord C2 leaves the factory, meaning that 
you cannot save any changes to the programs . Set this to Off when you 
wish to store your own programs . The System, MIDI or Sound menu 
settings and the Live memory are not protected by this setting .

Range: On (default), off

Output Routing L/R

If you want to process your sound using external effects or separate 
amplifier systems, it can be convenient to route organs to separate 
outputs of the Nord C2 . This setting determines which organs should 
be routed to the main left & right outputs . 

Range: P - Pipe organ.

Pb - Pipe organ and the B3 model.

PE - Pipe organ and the VX and Farf models.

A - All models.

If the High Level or 11-pin output is not connected, all organs will 

 

E

be routed to the L&R outputs.

Output Routing Ext. Rotary Spkr

This setting determines which organs should be routed to the 11-pin 
and High Level outputs . 

Range: b3 - B3 model.

E - The VX and Farf models.

bE - The B3, the VX and the Farf models.

If the High Level or 11-pin output is not connected, all organs will 

 

E

be routed to the L&R outputs.

Transpose

Transpose allows you transpose the pitch of the Nord C2 up or down in 
semitone steps .

Range: -/+ 6 semitones (default = 0).

Fine Tune

This allows you to fine tune the pitch of the Nord C2 .

Range: +/- 50 cent (default = 0).

Sustain Pedal Polarity

This allows you to change the polarity of a connected sustain pedal, in 
case the functionality of your pedal is reversed (i .e . when the pedal is 
up, sustain is on and vice versa) .

Range:  OP - Open, CL - Close (default).

Sustain Pedal Configuration

Controls weather the selected organ model should respond to sustain 
pedal messages or not . When a pedal is connected to the sustain 
pedal input, sustain pedal messages are always send via MIDI Out 
regardless of this setting .

Range: On (default), Off.

The pipe organ is never affected by a sustain pedal.

 

M

Rotor Ctrl. Type

Specifies the type of controller connected to the Rotary Control input . 

Range: HA - Halfmoon, OP - Open, CL - Closed (default).

Swell Pedal Type

Different brands of control pedals have different specifications (resistance, 
offset and linearity) . To simplify setup and to optimize the response of the 
pedal for the Nord C2, the most common pedal makes are pre-config-
ured, and you simply select the type of pedal you connect . 

Roland, Yamaha and Fatar are linear control pedals with different scal-
ing and offset . Ernie Ball pedals (“ErnieB”) are marketed as volume ped-
als, with a logarithmic response, but the response is rescaled internally 
in the Nord C2 to make them work nicely as control pedals . They may 
need a Y-cable (stereo plug -> 2 mono plugs) to work with the Nord C2 .

Range: FA - Fatar, Er - Ernie Ball, YA - Yamaha, rO - Roland 
(default)

The Menus

Any settings that you change in the 

System

MIDI

 or 

Sound

 menu will take immediate effect on a global basis, and will be stored until you change 

them the next time * . Enter the menus by pressing and holding Shift and the System, MIDI or Sound button (Prog, Live 1 or Live 2) . Select a function 
with the Up/Down buttons and change the setting by pressing and holding Shift and the Up or Down button . Exit the menus by pressing a second 
time on the Prog, Live 1 or Live 2 button .

* The only exception to this is the MIDI Local On/Off setting which always reverts to Local On every time the Nord C2 is powered up.
