System Menu
Memory Protect – On, Off
This is set to “On” when the Nord C2D leaves the factory, meaning that
you cannot save any changes to the programs. Set this to Off when you
wish to store your own programs. The System or Sound menu settings
and the Live memory are not protected by this setting.
Range: On (default), off
Transpose
Transpose allows you transpose the pitch of the Nord C2D up or down
in semitone steps.
Range: -/+ 6 semitones (default = 0).
Fine Tune
This allows you to fine tune the pitch of the Nord C2D.
Range: +/- 50 cent (default = 0).
Output Routing L/R Mode
If you want to process your sound using external effects or separate
amplifier systems, it can be convenient to route organs to separate
outputs of the Nord C2D. This setting determines which organs should
be routed to the main left & right outputs.
Range: All, Pipe+Electr (Vox & Farf), Pipe+B3, Pipe.
E If the High Level or 11-pin output is not connected, all organs will
be automatically routed to the L&R outputs.
Output Routing ExtRotary Mode
This setting determines which organs should be routed to the 11-pin
and High Level outputs, if these are connected to an external.
Range: B3, Electr, B3+Electr, All.
E If the High Level or 11-pin output is not connected, all organs will
be automatically routed to the L&R outputs.
Keyboard Trig Mode
This allows you to change how the Nord C2D keyboard triggers the or-
gan sounds. When “High” is selected, you will trigger the organ sounds
before the key reaches the end of its travel. This mode closely mimics
the way a vintage tonewheel organ or a pipe organ trigger its notes.
Range: High (default), Low
High trigger point Low trigger point
Sustain Pedal Type
This allows you to change the polarity of a connected sustain pedal, in
case the functionality of your pedal is reversed (when the pedal is up,
sustain is on and vice versa).
Range: Open, Closed (default).
Sustain Pedal Mode
Controls whether the C2D should respond to sustain pedal messages
or if a connected sustain pedal should just transmit MIDI messages.
Range: Normal, MIDI Only.
M The Pipe organ is never affected by a sustain pedal.
Swell Pedal Type
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 C2D, the most common pedal makes are pre-config-
ured, and you simply select the type of pedal you connect.
Range: Roland EV5 (default), Roland EV7, Yamaha FC7, Korg,
Fatar SL
Rotor Control Type
Specifies the type of controller connected to the Rotary Control input.
Range: Closed (default), Open, Halfmoon.

The Menus
Any settings that you change in the System or Sound 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 or Sound button (Prog or Live ). 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 Prog or
Live 1 button. The MIDI Settings are found at the end of the System menu. The settings in the Pluck/Release menu are accessed with Shift + Pedal
To Great button. These settings are stored in the programs.
M * The only exception to this is the MIDI Local On/Off setting which always reverts to Local On every time the Nord C2D is powered up.
