Ctrl Pedal Mode
A connected control pedal can be used to control several things. It
can be used as a solitary organ swell pedal (swell is a combination of
volume and frequency control), as a combined organ swell/volume
pedal for the samples type, and finally as a swell/volume pedal for all
the instrument sections (incl. the pianos) in the Nord Electro 3.
Range: O – Organ swell (default), S – Organ swell/sample volume,
P - Organ swell/sample volume, piano volume
A connected control pedal will always be active if the P-Wa or the M
RM effect is activated, regardless of the Ctrl Pedal Mode setting.
Organ Trig Mode
This allows you to change how the Nord Electro keyboard triggers the
organ sounds. When “Fast” is selected, you will trigger organ sounds
before the key reaches the end of its travel. This mode closely mimics
the way a vintage tonewheel organ trigger its notes.
Range: F- Fast (default), n- normal
Drawbar Speed
This sets the speed with which the drawbars will increase or decrease
the values when the drawbar buttons are held down.
Range: F- Fast (default), S- slow
MIDI Menu
MIDI Channel
This sets the MIDI Channel that the Nord Electro 3 transmits and
responds to.
Range: 1-16, OF - off (default = 1)
Lower Channel
This sets the MIDI channel that the Lower Manual of the Nord Electro 3
organ section transmits and responds to when the organ split and the
MIDI split modes are active.
Range: 1-16, OF - off (default = 2)
Local Control
This allows you to set if the Nord Electro 3 keyboard and front panel
controls should control internal Programs or only send note and
controller messages via MIDI. Local On is the normal “mode”. In Local
Off mode, the front panel and keyboard action are transmitted via MIDI
only and does not control the internal sound(s) directly.
Range: On (default), Off
Local defaults back to mode On every time the Nord Electro 3 is M
powered on.
Control Change (CC) Mode
This setting specifies how the front panel’s knobs and buttons are han-
dled in the MIDI communication with MIDI Control Change messages.
You can select if the panel controls and functions should either send or
receive, or both or if Control Change messages should be ignored.
Range: Sr (send & receive - default), r (receive only), S (send only),
Off
Program Change Mode
Specifies how the Nord Electro 3 should handle MIDI Program Change
messages.
Range: Sr (send & receive - default), r (receive only), S (send only),
Off
MIDI Split Mode
If MIDI Split mode is On and the Organ is set to a split operation, the
lower manual will be exclusively controlled via incoming MIDI infor-
mation to the Electro 3’s MIDI input. If you connect an external MIDI
keyboard, the Electro 3 can then be used in a dual manual fashion.
Range: On, Off (default)
Send CC (Control Change messages)
You can perform a dump of all the active Program’s parameters as
MIDI Controllers. Press the Store button to perform the dump.
Dump One
This allows you to perform a MIDI SysEx dump of the currently selected
Program. Press the Store button to perform the dump.
Dump All
This allows you to perform a MIDI SysEx dump of all the Programs in
the Electro 3. Press the Store button to perform the dump.
In the MIDI chapter, on page 42 is a description on how the Electro 3
receives a Sys Ex dump.
