GETTING STARTED
Let’s spend a few minutes getting acquainted with the fundamental fea-
tures of the Nord Electro 6. In this chapter some of the most common
tasks and scenarios will be described in a stepwise fashion.
HOOKING IT UP
1
Connect the Nord Electro 6 power cord to the unit and a mains
power supply, connect the sustain pedal and a set of headphones
or a sound system.
2
Make sure to turn on the Nord Electro 6 first, before the sound
system. Please be careful with the output volume!
For more information on all the connections of the Electro 6, see the
Connections section on page 30.
PANEL CONTROLS
DIALS AND KNOBS
The dials on the Nord Electro 6 are knobs without fixed
start and stop positions, used for navigating parameters
and settings. The
PROGRAM dial is one such example.
In this manual, dials are sometimes also referred to as
encoders .
Potentiometer-type knobs are used for many parameters
on the Nord Electro 6. When a program is loaded the
physical positions of these knobs will in most cases not
correspond to the actual parameter values. As soon as a
knob is turned however, its associated parameter value
will “snap” to the knob’s position.
Hold the
SHIFT
button and turn a knob to view the stored setting of
a parameter without changing it.
BUTTONS
Selector buttons are used to select one setting in an
array. They have a set of round or triangular LEDs to
indicate its current setting. Press the button several
times to cycle through the possible options.
ON/OFF
buttons are used for activating a function
or a group of functions such as effects and have a
LED close to them to indicate the on/off status and
sometimes also the source or zone.
M The On/Off buttons of the Effects shown here also have a selector
functionality. Press once to turn the Effect on, and double-tap to
select the “next” source.
THE SHIFT BUTTON
Many panel controls on the Nord Electro 6 have a second-
ary function, which is printed immediately below it. These
additional functions are accessed by pressing and holding
SHIFT
while operating the control.
The Shift button is also used to
EXIT
a menu or to cancel an ongoing
Store operation.
SOFT BUTTONS
One menu or settings page, or the Program Init window (shown below)
may contain several related options in which case “soft buttons” are
used for focusing a setting or performing a task. Soft buttons are placed
at the bottom of the display and are controlled with the
PROGRAM 1 - 4
buttons. As an example; in the scenario below, pressing the
Program 3
button will initialize the panel to a Piano program.
PROGRAMS
The Program area is located at the center of the panel with an OLED
display in the middle. One program contains complete settings of every
parameter on the panel and is stored in the program memory of the
Electro 6, with enough room for 416 programs.
Programs are organized into 26 banks, labeled A-Z. All programs can be
edited and replaced as you wish.
M
A complete set of the factory programs is available on the www.
nordkeyboards.com website. This means that the program memory
can always be restored to its original state.
SELECT A PROGRAM
1
Programs are selected by pressing any of the four PROGRAM but-
tons, located below the display. The

divided into 4 program pages.
