10 - Ctrl Pedal Mode

A connected control pedal can be used to control several things . It can 
be used as a solitary organ swell pedal (swell is a combination of vol-
ume and frequency control), as a combined organ swell/volume pedal 
for the samples type, and finally as a swell/volume pedal for all the 
instrument sections (incl . the pianos) in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW . 

Range: O – Organ swell (default), S – Organ swell/sample volume, 
P - Organ swell/sample and piano volume

 

M

A connected control pedal will always be active if the P-Wa or the 
RM effect is activated, regardless of the Ctrl Pedal Mode setting.

11 - Organ Trig Mode (Nord Electro 4 SW only)

This allows you to change how the Nord Electro 4 SW keyboard trig-
gers the organ sounds . When “High” is selected, you will trigger the 
organ sounds before the key reaches the end of its travel . This mode 
closely mimics the way a vintage tonewheel organ trigger its notes . 

Range: Hi - High trig (default), Lo - Low trig

            High trigger point 

 

Low trigger point

12 - Drawbar Speed

This sets the speed with which the drawbars will increase or decrease 
the values when the drawbar buttons are held down .

Range: F- Fast, S- slow

MIDI Menu

1 - Local Control

This allows you to set if the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW keyboard and front 
panel controls should control internal Programs or only send note and 
controller messages via MIDI . Local On is the normal “mode” . In Local 
Off mode, the front panel and keyboard action are transmitted via MIDI 
only and does not control the internal sound(s) directly .

Range: On (default), Off

 

M

Local defaults back to mode On every time the Nord Electro 4 HP/
SW is powered on.

2 - MIDI Interface

Use this setting to choose if you want to use the MIDI interface on the 
DIN connectors or the USB-MIDI functionality .

Range: P - DIN MIDI ports, U  USB-MIDI (default)

3 - MIDI Channel

This sets the MIDI Channel that the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW transmits 
and responds to .

Range: 1-16, OF - off (default = 1)

4 - Lower Channel

This sets the MIDI channel that the Lower Manual of the Nord Electro 
4 HP/SW organ section responds to when the organ split and the MIDI 
split modes are active .

Range: 1-16, OF - off (default = 2)

5 - Control Change (CC) Mode

This setting specifies how the front panel’s knobs and buttons are han-
dled in the MIDI communication with MIDI Control Change messages . 
You can select if the panel controls and functions should either send or 
receive, or both, or if Control Change messages should be ignored .

Range: Sr (send & receive - default), r (receive only), S (send only), 
Off

6 - Program Change Mode

Specifies how the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW should handle MIDI Program 
Change messages .

Range: Sr (send & receive - default), r (receive only), S (send only), 
Off

7 - MIDI Split Mode

If MIDI Split mode is On and the Organ is set to a split operation, the 
lower manual will be exclusively controlled via incoming MIDI informa-
tion to the Electro 4 HP/SW’s MIDI input . If you connect an external 
MIDI keyboard, the Electro 4 HP/SW can then be used in a dual manual 
fashion . 

Range: On, Off (default) 

8 - Dump One

This allows you to perform a MIDI SysEx dump of the currently selected 
Program . Press the Store button to perform the dump .

9 - Dump All

This allows you to perform a MIDI SysEx dump of all the Programs in 
the Electro 4 HP/SW . Press the Store button to perform the dump .

In the MIDI chapter, on “Receive MIDI SysEx dumps” on page 22, there is 
a description on how the Electro 4 HP/SW receives a Sys Ex dump . 

10 - Send CC 

You can perform a dump of all the active Program’s parameters as 
MIDI Control Change messages . Press the Store button to perform the 
dump .
