This allows you to set which channel output pairs (or
mono output) to use for the Synth A and B sec-
tion.Use the Panel A & B buttons to access the set-
tings for each panel. If the Audio Routing Mode (see
above) is set to "Program", these settings will be
saved with the program.
This allows you to change how the Nord Stage EX
keyboard triggers Organ sounds. When "Fast/High" is
selected, you will trigger organ sounds before the key
is fully depressed. This mode closely mimics the way
a real B3 triggers notes.
This allows you to change the polarity of a connected
sustain pedal, in case the functionality of the pedal is
reversed (i.e. when the pedal is up, sustain is on and
vice versa).
If you have only one pedal connected and want to
use it as both Sustain Pedal and Rotor Speed Pedal,
enable this setting. 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.
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).
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.
Different brands of control pedals have different
specifications (resistance, offset and linearity). To
simplify setup and to optimize the response of the
pedal for the Nord Stage, the most common pedal
makes are preconfigured, and you simply select the
type of pedal you connect. Roland, Yamaha and
Fatar are linear control pedals with different scaling
and offset. Ernie Ball pedals ("ErnieB") are marketed
as volume pedals, with a logarithmic response, but
the response is rescaled internally in the Nord Stage
to make them work nicely as control pedals. They
may need a Y-cable (stereo plug -> 2 mono plugs) to
work with the Nord Stage.
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.
