The Organ section comprises four sub sections: the Percussion section, the Vibrato/Chorus section, the
Manual section and the Drawbar section. The nine drawbars of Nord Electro are represented by up/down
buttons and LED chain graphs instead of ordinary mechanical drawbars. This gives you a big advantage:
when you change presets, the correct drawbar settings are shown immediately by the LEDs. In other
words, no need for the regular ’trial and error’ method.

The Piano sections consists of two sub sections: the instrument Type section and the Presence section.
With the
T
YPE
button you select the Piano instrument to use and with the Presence parameters you can
add parametric equalization to your piano sound. With the V2.0 Mega Clavinet D6 sound the Presence
parameters act as filter and pick-up selectors (see
“Presence with the Mega Clavinet sound” on page 26
)

The keyboard of Nord Electro is either 5 octaves (Nord Electro SixtyOne) or 6 octaves (Nord Electro
SeventyThree). Both versions feature the specially designed, semiweighted, velocity sensitive “waterfall”
(square front) keyboard for optimal feel and response. The semiweighted action is ideal for use with both
Organ and Piano sounds. The keyboard also sends Keyboard Velocity over MIDI.
