10 | NORD ELECTRO 6 USER MANUAL OS V2.6X
4
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 indicate the zones to
which the Organ section is assigned.
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. When the B3 or B3 Bass model is
selected, the pedal will function as a traditional swell pedal, which does
not lower the volume all the way to zero, and also changes the character
of the sound – especially when the Rotary Speaker Drive is used.
Read more about how to configure pedals on page 27.
DRAWBARS AND BUTTONS
The Nord Electro 6D models use “real” mechanical drawbars. The draw-
bars on the Nord Electro 6HP model are represented by buttons and
LED chain graphs.
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’ behavior is similar to their mechanical counter-
parts. 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.
