User manual
10 - Ctrl Pedal Mode
A connected control pedal can be used to control several things. It can
be used as a solitary organ swell pedal (swell is a combination of vol-
ume and frequency control), as a combined organ swell/volume pedal
for the samples type, and finally as a swell/volume pedal for all the
instrument sections (incl. the pianos) in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW.
Range: O – Organ swell (default), S – Organ swell/sample volume,
P - Organ swell/sample and piano volume
M A connected control pedal will always be active if the P-Wa or the
RM effect is activated, regardless of the Ctrl Pedal Mode setting.
11 - Organ Trig Mode (Nord Electro 4 SW only)
This allows you to change how the Nord Electro 4 SW keyboard trig-
gers the organ sounds. When “High” is selected, you will trigger the
organ sounds before the key reaches the end of its travel. This mode
closely mimics the way a vintage tonewheel organ trigger its notes.
Range: Hi - High trig (default), Lo - Low trig
High trigger point Low trigger point
12 - Drawbar Speed
This sets the speed with which the drawbars will increase or decrease
the values when the drawbar buttons are held down.
Range: F- Fast, S- slow
MIDI Menu
1 - Local Control
This allows you to set if the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW keyboard and front
panel controls should control internal Programs or only send note and
controller messages via MIDI. Local On is the normal “mode”. In Local
Off mode, the front panel and keyboard action are transmitted via MIDI
only and does not control the internal sound(s) directly.
Range: On (default), Off
M Local defaults back to mode On every time the Nord Electro 4 HP/
SW is powered on.
2 - MIDI Interface
Use this setting to choose if you want to use the MIDI interface on the
DIN connectors or the USB-MIDI functionality.
Range: P - DIN MIDI ports, U USB-MIDI (default)
3 - MIDI Channel
This sets the MIDI Channel that the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW transmits
and responds to.
Range: 1-16, OF - off (default = 1)
4 - Lower Channel
This sets the MIDI channel that the Lower Manual of the Nord Electro
4 HP/SW organ section responds to when the organ split and the MIDI
split modes are active.
Range: 1-16, OF - off (default = 2)
5 - Control Change (CC) Mode
This setting specifies how the front panel’s knobs and buttons are han-
dled in the MIDI communication with MIDI Control Change messages.
You can select if the panel controls and functions should either send or
receive, or both, or if Control Change messages should be ignored.

MIDI keyboard, the Electro 4 HP/SW can then be used in a dual manual
fashion.
Range: On, Off (default)
