Pedal connections
The Nord C2 Combo Organ has three pedal inputs; one for a sustain
pedal, one for a rotary speed controller and one for a swell pedal .
Swell Pedal input
Used for controlling the swell level of the selected organ model . When
connecting an expression pedal to the Swell Pedal input, you should
use a stereo cable with a Tip-Ring-Sleeve connector . Please note that
the pedal must have a stereo output jack . The resistance range of a
control pedal should be 10 or 50 kOhm . To simplify setup, the most
common pedal models (Roland, Yamaha, Ernie Ball and Fatar) are
pre-configured in the Nord C2, and you simply select the type of pedal
which you want to use in the System menu . Have a look at page 17 for
further instructions .
Rotary Control input
Used for controlling the rotary speaker’s speed . You can use any stan-
dard sustain pedal, switch pedal or the Half Moon Switch accessory .
When using the Half Moon Switch accessory you have to configure this
as the Control Pedal Type in the System menu . Have a look at page 17
for further instructions .
Sustain Pedal input
¼" connector for a switch type pedal . When a connected pedal is oper-
ated, the notes you play will be sustained . You can use any standard
sustain type pedal . A polarity setting can be selected in the system
menu . Read more on this on page 17 .
A connected sustain pedal will not affect the Pipe organ model.

If you use external sound devices you can disable the Nord C2 Combo
Organ from responding to sustain messages, but still transmit them via
MIDI out . This is set in the System menu, read more on page 17 .
MIDI & USB Connections
The settings of the MIDI transmission and reception behavior can be
adjusted in the MIDI menu . For more information about this, please go
to page 17 .
USB Connection
The USB connection is used for the Nord C2 to communicate with a
personal computer in order to update the OS or manage the programs .
The computer can e .g . be used to transfer the operating system if the
unit needs to be updated and to make backups of the memory content .
Computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems need a
M
driver for the USB connection to work. The driver can be found at
the www.nordkeyboards.com website.
MIDI Out
Both manuals, all knobs and buttons (Shift, Store and Master Level
excluded), pedal connector ports as well as the Bass Pedal input trans-
mits messages via MIDI Out .
MIDI IN
MIDI connection used to receive MIDI messages to the Nord C2 from
other equipment such as keyboards or computers .
