orGaN

the Nord Electro 6 features five organ models, all digitally modeled: a
B3 tonewheel organ with a dedicated B3 Bass mode, two transistor
organs and two Pipe organ models, including a "principal pipe" section.

oN/oFF, lEvEl aNd ZoNE sElEct

the organ section is turned on or off by pressing its ON/OFF button.
the LEVEL knob controls the output volume of the organ.
Press ZONE SELECT (shift + on/off) to assign the organ to either or both
of the two keyboard zones. the KBD ZONE lEds show which zones the
organ section is assigned to.

octavE UP/doWN

Use OCTAVE UP/DOWN to transpose the organ section up or down by
octaves (+/- 12 semitones). When assigned to the entire keyboard it
can be transposed one octave up or down. When assigned to a smaller
zone the available transpose values will vary, but always give access to
the entire range of the organ.
M
To use Octave Up/Dn for the lower manual, in Dual Organ mode,
Edit Lower mode needs to be active.

sUstPEd aNd ctrlPEd

SUSTPED (shift + octave shift Up) activates an attached sustain pedal
for the organ section.
CTRLPED (shift + octave shift Up) assigns an attached control pedal as
volume control for the organ section. With the B3/B3 Bass models it
functions as a traditional swell pedal which also changes the character
of the sound when the rotary speaker drive is used.
read more about how to configure pedals on page 26.

draWBars aNd BUttoNs

the drawbars on the Nord Electro 6HP model are represented by but-
tons and lEd chain graphs. the Nord Electro 6d models use "real"
mechanical drawbars.
When a program is loaded, the physical drawbars will in most cases
not correspond to their stored settings. as soon as a drawbar is moved
however, its setting will be the same as that of the physical position.
M
There is one exception to the behaviour described above: Any
program stored with Manual Organ activated will use the actual
drawbar positions when it is loaded.
the digital drawbars behave similarly to their mechanical counterparts.
on the B3, B3 Bass, Vox and Pipe models you "pull out" and "push in"
the drawbars using the drawbar buttons. With the Farf model, drawbar
buttons act as rocker switches, toggling each register on or off.
the buttons are special in the way that they auto-increment/decrement
the drawbar value when they are held down. If you hold a drawbar
button the corresponding drawbar setting will continue to increment or
decrement (within its range) until you release the button.
M
The Program section display always shows the current drawbar
settings for the Organ section.
