Note: The MIDI channel set for reception of the addi-
tional MIDI keyboard should be different from the
“public” MIDI Channel (see
).
If the MIDI CH and LOWER CH are the same, play-
ing the additional keyboard would produce a layered
sound of the Upper Manual and Lower Manual sounds
together. This is normally not what you want.

Swell is the characteristic B-3 volume function that you control from the B-3’s pedal. Swell is not only a
volume control - it also changes the character of the sound in a special way. To use Swell control on the
Nord Electro, simply plug in a standard resistive expression pedal to the
C
ONTROL
P
EDAL
input on the
).
Note that the expression pedal will only control Swell on Organ sounds - not the volume on Piano
sounds. Also, if you use Wah-Wah as modulation effect (see
), the ex-
pression pedal will instead control the Wah-Wah effect and not Swell.

The Rotary Speaker simulation in Nord Electro can be found in the Effects section.
The reason for this is that you can use it also for Piano sounds. The Rotary Speaker
simulation is really something above the ordinary. It’s not only simulating the rotat-
ing speaker and drum but also the built-in amplifier of the original Leslie speaker.
Activate or deactivate the Rotary Speaker simulation by pressing the
O
N
button.
Switch between fast and slow rotor speeds by pressing the
F
AST
button. To stop the
rotors, press the
S
TOP
button. When you press the
S
TOP
button again the rotors will
accelerate to the speed they had when you first pressed
S
TOP
.

from a pedal. It’s also possible to use a sustain pedal connected to the

the speed selection. Please refer to
for information on how to set up Nord Electro
for operation with sustain/switch pedals.

On an original B-3 organ, the key click produced by the random contact bounces is actually an artifact.
Like on the original B-3, Nord Electro doesn’t feature any dedicated control for adjusting the key click
level. However, if you want to emphasize or attenuate the key click you can easily do this by activating
the Treble & Bass EQ of the Effects section and adjusting the
T
REBLE
knob. See
for more details.
