Pedal Connections
The Nord Electro 4D has three pedal inputs; a sustain pedal, a pedal to
control the rotor speed and a control pedal (an expression type pedal),
which can be used to control various parameters.
Sustain Pedal
¼" connector for a switch type pedal. When a connected pedal is
operated, the notes you play will be sustained.
Rotor Pedal
¼" connector for a switch type pedal. When a connected pedal is
operated, the rotary speed will change.
M Two types of pedal polarities can be used with these inputs; you
select the one that applies to each pedal, in the System menu
which is described on page 17.
 It is possible to use only one pedal connected to the sustain pedal
input to control sustain for piano sounds and rotary speed selection
for organ sounds (see page 17 for details on how to configure this).
Control Pedal
¼" stereo connector for a contimous pedal (also known as expres-
sion pedals). A connected pedal can be used as a swell pedal for the
organs, a volume pedal for pianos and samples and also as a controller
for two of the effects: the P-wah and the ring modulator (RM).
When connecting an expression pedal to the Control 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, Korg and Fatar) are
pre-configured in the Nord Electro 4D, and you simply select the type
of pedal which you want to use in the System menu, see page 17.
