28 | nORD eLeCTRO 6 useR MAnuAL Os v2.6x
Range: Roland EV7 (default), Yamaha FC-7, Korg, Fatar/Studiologic
GAIn
This setting allows for adding some gain to the pedal signal. This can be
useful if an attached pedal does not reach its maximum level or setting.
Range: 1 - 10
10 - LOCAL COnTROL
MIDI Local Control determines if the nord electro 6 keyboard and panel
will control internal sound engines and programs or only transmit MIDI.
Local Control
On
is the normal “play mode”. When Local Control is in
Off
mode, front panel and keyboard actions are transmitted via MIDI only.
Range: On (Default), Off
M
Local always defaults back to “On” every time the Nord Electro 6 is
powered on
11 - CHAnneL
GLOBAL
This sets the transmitting and receiving MIDI channel for the Global
Channel. The Global Channel transmits all keyboard, pedal and panel
actions as MIDI signals. It can also be used as a receiving channel with
full control of the entire electro 6.
Range: 1-16, Off (Default 1)
exTeRnAL KBD
This sets the channel for receiving MIDI from an external keyboard when
using the “external KBD to Lo” function - see page 18.
Range: 1-16, Off (Default 16)
12 - COnTROL/PROGRAM CHAnGe MODe
CC (COnTROL CHAnGe)
This allows you to set if you want your nord electro 6 to transmit and/or
receive MIDI Controller Messages or not on the Global channel.
Range: Off, Send, Receive, Send & Receive (Default)
PC (PROGRAM CHAnGe)
This setting determines whether your nord electro 6 transmits and/or
receives MIDI program Change Messages, on the Global channel.
Range: Off, Send, Receive, Send & Receive (Default)
13 - TRAnsPOse MIDI AT
When set to
In
, active transpose values (global and/or set per program)
are
not
applied to outgoing MIDI, but only to incoming MIDI data. In
Out
mode sent MIDI notes are transposed but not incoming ones.
Range: In (Default), Out
14 - MIDI OuT veLOCITY CuRve
There are three options for how the velocity of outgoing MIDI notes is
scaled. When set to
Heavy
, the generated MIDI corresponds to the dy-
namic range of the nord electro 6 Piano engine, and this setting should
be used when playing the nord electro 6 in Local Control “Off” mode
from the local keyboard. The
Medium
and
Light
curves require increas-
ingly less effort to generate higher velocity values.
Range: Heavy (Default), Medium, Light
E
A dash, “-”, is shown when MIDI Out Velocity Legacy mode is set
to “On”, as these curves are then not applicable.
15 - MIDI OuT veLOCITY LeGACY
set this to “On” if the MIDI Out (and its corresponding MIDI In) velocity
curve of the previous Os version (v2.5x) should be used. This could for
instance be useful to achieve expected results when playing back a MIDI
file created with that version.
Range: Off (Default), On
16 - veRsIOn AnD MODeL InFO
The version and model info menu page shows the full version number
of the currently installed Os (Operating system) and, when turning the
Program dial, hardware information for the instrument.

4 - B3 ORGAn KeYBOARD TRIGGeR POInT
This setting allows for changing how the nord electro 6 keyboard trig-
gers the B3 sound. When “High” is selected, it will be triggered before
the key is fully depressed, which is more similar to how a real B3 works.
Range: High, Low (Default)
5 - ROTARY sPeAKeR

122 setting the “virtual microphones” are placed further away, while with
122 Close they are placed closer to the cabinet.

6 - ROTARY BALAnCe
This parameter determines the sonic balance, expressed as a percent-
age, between the bass rotor and the treble horn of the Rotary speaker.
