Pedal Connections

The Nord Electro 3 has three pedal inputs; one for a sustain pedal, one
for a rotor speed control pedal and one for a control pedal (an expres-
sion 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 .

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 pedal of the potentiometer type (also known
as expression 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, Ernie Ball and Fa-
tar) are pre-configured in the Nord Electro 3, and you simply select the
type of pedal which you want to use in the System menu . The System
Menu is described on page 17 .
