Sustain Pedal
Use as Rotor
You can connect a Sustain Pedal (as opposed to a
switch pedal) to the Rotor Speed connector. If you
wish to use a sustain pedal to control rotor speed set
this to “Yes”. Note that even if this is enabled, and you
connect a pedal to the Rotor Speed input, this setting
will be overridden and you will be able to use both
pedals separately.
Yes, No (Default)
Rotor Pedal
Polarity
This allows you to change the polarity of a sustain
pedal connected to control Rotor Speed, in case the
functionality of the pedal is reversed (i.e. when the
pedal is up, Rotor Speed is fast and vice versa).
Open, Closed (Default)
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 with a pedal depres-
sion, like an on/off switch pedal.
Hold (Default), Toggle
Ctrl Pedal
Gain
Some makes of control pedals may not produce the
full “control gain range” when connected to Nord
Stage. When this page is selected you can “see” the
range of a connected control pedal in the Display -
when you press down the pedal a Monitor value is
briefly shown (0-100%). The value should be 100%
when the pedal is fully down. If it isn’t, you can adjust
the gain so that the pedal works properly.
1.00 to 1.50 (1.41 Default)
Control Pedal
Use as Swell
You can use a control pedal to control organ swell. If
you wish to do so set this to “Yes”. Note that even if
this is enabled, and you connect a pedal to the Organ
Swell input, this setting will be overridden and you will
be able to use both pedals separately.
Yes, No (Default)
Swell Pedal
Gain
Some makes of control pedals may not produce the
full “control gain range” when connected to Nord
Stage’s Organ Swell input. When this page is
selected you can “see” the range of a connected con-
trol pedal in the Display - when you press down the
pedal a Monitor value is briefly shown (0-100%). The
value should be 100% when the pedal is fully down. If
it isn’t you can adjust the Gain so that it works prop-
erly.
1.00 to 1.50 (1.41 Default)
Memory Protect This is set to “On” when Nord Stage leaves the fac-
tory, meaning that you cannot save any changes to
Programs (this basically to prevent prospective cus-
tomers from changing the factory programs when try-
ing out the instrument). Set this to Off if you wish to
store your own Programs.
On, Off
