Page 11
CONNECTING PEDALS
The Nord Stage has four pedal inputs, one C
ONTROL PEDAL input (for controlling Nord Stage parame-
ters), one O
RGAN SWELL input, one SUSTAIN PEDAL input and one ROTOR SPEED input (for rotary
speaker fast/slow selection). You can select for each instrument whether it should react to sustain or not
(see “Activating the Sustain Pedal/Pitch Stick for Instruments” on page 20). Connect the pedals as shown
in the figure below:
When connecting an expression-type pedal to the C
ONTROL PEDAL OR ORGAN SWELL input, you
should use a stereo cable (Tip-Ring-Sleeve). Please note that the pedal must have a stereo output jack. Ped-
als from various manufacturers can have different characteristics but any expression pedal can easily be ad-
justed to function properly with Nord Stage (see “Ctrl Pedal Gain” on page 61).

PEED PEDAL
You can use a pedal connected to the R
OTOR SPEED
input to switch between Slow and Fast rotor speed
for the Rotary Speaker effect. In this case you may need to make System settings to make it operate the
way you like. This is done on the System menu page - see “System menu” on page 60, where you can set
up the Rotor Speed control mode (Hold/Toggle).
