User manual

System Menu
1 - Memory Protect – On, Off
This is set to “On” when the Nord Electro 4D leaves the factory, meaning
that you cannot store any changes to the programs. Set this to Off when
you wish to store your own programs. The System, MIDI, B3 or Rotary
menu settings and the Live memory are not protected by this setting.
Range: On (default), off
2 - Output Routing
If you want to process your sound using external effects or separate
amplifier systems, it can be convenient to route organ and piano
sounds to separate outputs of the Nord Electro 4D.
Range: St - Stereo Output. All instruments use the left and right
outputs (default setting).
Sb - Split Output. Tonewheel organ is routed to the left output. Vx
and Farf organs and pianos/samples are routed to right output.
SO - Separated Output. All organs are routed to left output, pia-
nos/samples are routed to the right output.
3 - Transpose
Transpose allows you to globally transpose the pitch of the Electro 4D
up or down in semitone steps.
Range: -/+ 6 semitones (default = 0).
4 - Fine Tune
This allows you to fine tune the pitch of the Nord Electro 4D.
Range: +/- 50 cent (default = 0).
5 - Sustain Pedal Polarity
This allows you to change the polarity of a connected sustain pedal, in
case the functionality of your pedal is reversed (i.e. when the pedal is
up, sustain is on and vice versa).
Range: CL - Close (default), OP - Open.
6 - Rotor Pedal Polarity
This allows you to change the polarity of a sustain type pedal con-
nected to control Rotor Speed, in case the functionality of your pedal is
reversed (i.e. when the pedal is up, Rotor Speed is fast and vice versa).
Range: CL - Close (default), OP - Open.
7 - Sustain Pedal Mode
If you’re using a single sustain pedal connected to the Sustain Pedal
input you may want to use it for sustain with piano sounds and as a
Rotor Speed switch with organ sounds. In this case, select “rt” (rotor
toggle) with the Up/Down buttons.
If you’re using two separate sustain pedals: one in the Sustain Pedal
Input and one in the Rotor Speed Input you probably want to use the
sustain pedal in the Sustain Pedal input for sustain also when using
Organ sounds. In this case, select ‘SU’ (sustain).
Range: SU (default), rt.
8 - Rotor Pedal Mode
If you are using a sustain pedal connected to control Rotor Speed
this allows you to set how this should operate. “Hold” means that the
Rotor Speed is fast for as long as the pedal is down and reverts back
to slow when the pedal is released (or vice versa depending on the
set pedal polarity).
“Toggle” means that the fast/slow rotor speed is switched each time
you activate the pedal, like an on/off switch pedal.
Range: Hd - Hold, (default), tO - Toggle.
9 - Ctrl Pedal Type
The Electro 4D accepts many of the most commonly available control
pedals the Ctrl Pedal input. Select a setting here that matches the
pedal that you use.
 If you operate a connected pedal while this option is active, a
percentage will be displayed from 0 to 100 to indicate the range of
the connected pedal. This can be used to find a suitable setting for
a pedal this isn’t directly supported.
Range: r5 - Roland EV-5, (default) , r7 - Roland EV-7, y7 - Yamaha
FC-7, ko - Korg (EXP-2 & XVP-10), Ft - Fatar (& Studiologic VP/25)

The Menus
Any settings that you change in the System, MIDI, B3 or Rotary menu will take immediate effect on a global basis, and will be stored until you
change them the next time. Enter the menus by pressing and holding Shift and the System, MIDI, B3 or Rotary button (Prog 1, Prog 2, Prog 3 or
Prog 4). Select a function with the Up/Down buttons and change the setting by pressing and holding Shift and the Up or Down button. Exit the
menus by pressing a second time on the Prog 1, 2, 3 or 4 button.
M The only exception to this is the MIDI Local On/Off setting which always reverts to Local On every time the Electro 4D is powered on.
