Master level knob

overall output level
of
the C2, at the line- and the headphone out-

additional functions and parameters by holding down
shift
while pressing a button .
The Organ area
The Nord C2 Combo Organ features four Organ Models; one digitally
modeled tonewheel/B3 organ, two digitally modeled transistor (VX and
Farf) organs and a sampled baroque pipe organ .
The Organ area features three main sections for control:
The Drawbar section is where you set-up the basic organ sound
•
structure . It is divided into three areas connected to the Swell and
Great manuals, plus the Bass Pedal registers .
The Percussion area is where you control the percussion effect (avail-
•
able to the B3 organ model only)
The Vibrato/Chorus area is where you select the chorus and/or
•
vibrato effect depending on the selected Organ Model .
The Drawbars
The drawbars of Nord C2 Combo
Organ are represented by buttons and
LED chain graphs instead of ordinary
mechanical drawbars . This gives you
a big advantage: when you change
preset or program, the correct drawbar
settings are recalled immediately and
shown by the LEDs . In other words,
no need for the regular “trial and error”
method . It’s very easy to get the hang
of changing the drawbar settings in a
natural way with the Buttons .
The drawbars of Nord C2 Combo Or-
gan behave similar to their mechanical
counterparts, i .e . with the B3 and VX models you “pull out” and “push
in” the drawbars using the drawbar buttons .
The buttons are special in the way that they auto-increment/ decre-
ment the drawbar value when held . If you hold a drawbar button the
corresponding drawbar value will continue to increment or decrement
(within its range) until you release the button .
While holding a drawbar button, you can press its sibling button to
momentarily auto-increment/decrement in the opposite direction . With
the Farf and the Pipe models, drawbar buttons functions as switches,
toggling each register on or off .
Drawbar/Perc Preset Buttons
The preset buttons lets you change back and forth between different
drawbar set-ups instantly . Changes that you make needs to be saved
with the program or else they will be lost when you select a new pro-
gram . Read more on how to save a program on page 15 .
If the Pipe organ is active, the six preset buttons stores the set-
tings for both the swell and the great manuals.
If the B3, VX or the Farf models are active, the presets contains
individual settings for the upper and lower manuals. Further to
storing the drawbar settings, the upper manual’s percussion set-
tings are stored as well.
Preview
By pressing and holding the Preview button and then one of the two
Presets that are not currently active, you can continue to play with
the “current” setting, while dialing in a new setting in the background .
When you are done, tap the flashing Preset button to immediately
activate the new setting .
Splitting the great manual
By pressing the Great Man button you split the
great (lower) manual in two sections at the C3
key . The lower two octaves of the great manual
is now connected to the Bass drawbars .
Selecting The Organ Model
You select which model to play
using the Organ Model button . Only
one model can be used at a time .
