The Menus
Any settings that you change in the System, MIDI, B3 or Rotary menu will take immediate effect on a global basis, and will be stored until you
change them the next time . Enter the menus by pressing and holding Shift and the System, MIDI, B3 or Rotary button (Prog 1 - 4), the 1-4 LED will
start blinking . Select a function with the Up/Down buttons and change the setting by pressing and holding Shift and the Up or Down button . Exit the
menus by pressing a second time on the Program button .
M
The MIDI Local On/Off setting will always revert to Local On every time the Electro 4 HP/SW is powered up.
System Menu
1 - Memory Protect – On, Off
This is set to "On" when the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW leaves the factory,
meaning that you cannot store any changes to the programs . Set this to
Off when you wish to store your own programs . The System, MIDI, B3
and Rotary menu settings and the Live memories are not protected by
this setting .
Range: On (default), off
2 - Output Routing
If you want to process your sound using external effects or separate
amplifier systems, it can be convenient to route organ and piano
sounds to separate outputs of the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW .
Range: St - Stereo Output. All instruments use the left and right
outputs (default).
Sb - Split Output. Tonewheel organ is routed to the left output. Vx
and Farf organs and pianos/samples are routed to right output.
SO - Separated Output. All organs are routed to left output, pia-
nos/samples are routed to the right output.
3 - Transpose
Transpose allows you transpose the pitch of the Electro 4 HP/SW up or
down in semitone steps .
Range: -/+ 6 semitones (default = 0).
4 - Fine Tune
This allows you to fine tune the pitch of the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW .
Range: +/- 50 cent (default = 0).
5 - Sustain Pedal Polarity
This allows you to change the polarity of a connected sustain pedal, in
case the functionality of your pedal is reversed (i .e . when the pedal is
up, sustain is on and vice versa) .
Range: CL - Close (default), OP - Open.
6 - Rotor Pedal Polarity
This allows you to change the polarity of a sustain type pedal con-
nected to control Rotor Speed, in case the functionality of your pedal is
reversed (i .e . when the pedal is up, Rotor Speed is fast and vice versa) .
Range: CL - Close (default), OP - Open.
7 - Sustain Pedal Mode
If you're using a single sustain pedal connected to the Sustain Pedal
input you may want to use it for sustain with piano sounds and as a
Rotor Speed switch with organ sounds . In this case, select "rt" (rotor
toggle) with the Up/Down buttons .
If you're using two separate sustain pedals: one in the Sustain Pedal
Input and one in the Rotor Speed Input you probably want to use the
sustain pedal in the Sustain Pedal input for sustain also when using
Organ sounds . In this case, select 'SU' (sustain) .
Range: SU (default), rt.
8 - Rotor Pedal Mode
If you are using a pedal 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 each time
you activate the pedal, like an on/off switch pedal .
Range: Hd - Hold, (default), tO - Toggle.
9 - Ctrl Pedal Type
Different models of control pedals have different specifications (resis-
tance, offset and linearity) . To simplify setup and to optimize the response
of the pedal for the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW, the most common pedal
makes are preconfigured, and you simply select the type of pedal you
connect .
Range: R5 (Roland EV-5, default) , R7 (Roland EV-7), Y7 (Yamaha
FC-7), K0 (Korg EXP-2 & XVP-10), Ft (Fatar & Studiologic VP/25)
