HE RGAN SECTION
The Organ section comprises four sub sections: the Percussion section, the Vibrato/Chorus section, the
Manual section and the Drawbar section. The nine drawbars of Nord Electro are represented by up/down
buttons and LED chain graphs instead of ordinary mechanical drawbars. This gives you a big advantage:
when you change presets, the correct drawbar settings are shown immediately by the LEDs. In other words,
no need for the regular 'trial and error' method.

The keyboard of Nord Electro is either 5 octaves (Nord Electro SixtyOne) or 6 octaves (Nord Electro Sev-

(square front) keyboard for optimal feel and response. The semiweighted action is ideal for use with both
Organ and Piano sounds. The keyboard also sends Keyboard Velocity over MIDI.
