3. Select the same MIDI channel on the Nord Electro
2 by first pressing
S
HIFT
+
P
ROGRAM
2
(LOWER
CH) buttons and then scroll with the
U
P
/D
OWN
N
AVIGATOR
buttons.
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.
4. Press any button (except for the
S
HIFT
, S
TORE
or
U
P
/D
OWN
buttons) to exit.

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 2, simply plug in a standard resistive expression pedal to the
C
ONTROL
P
EDAL
input on
).
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 2 can be found in the Effects sec-
tion. 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 rotating speaker and drum but also the built-in amplifier of the original Leslie
122 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 (but
not
disabling the Rotary Speaker simulation), 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
.

By plugging in a sustain pedal in the
R
OTOR
S
PEED
P
EDAL
input you can control the speed selection
from a pedal. It’s also possible to use a sustain pedal connected to the
S
USTAIN
P
EDAL
input to control
the speed selection. Please refer to
for information on how to set up Nord Electro
2 for operation with sustain/switch pedals.
