Ctrl Pedal Type 

The Electro 3 HP has a slightly 
changed interface for the Ctrl Pedal input where some of the most 
common pedals are supported.

Range: P1 (Roland EV-5, default) , P1 (Roland EV-7), P3 (Yamaha 
FC-7), P4 (Korg EXP-2 & XVP-10), P5 (Fatar & Studiologic VP/25)

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 
RM effect is activated, regardless of the Ctrl Pedal Mode setting.

Organ Trig Mode

This allows you to change how the Nord C2 keyboard triggers the 
organ sounds. When “Fast/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: F - Fast (default), n - normal

            High trigger point 

 

Low trigger point

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 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 con-
troller 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 
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 

You can perform a dump of all the active Program’s parameters as 
MIDI Control Change messages. 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 “Receive MIDI SysEx dumps” on page 25 is a 
description on how the Electro 3 receives a Sys Ex dump.
