Instructions pertaining to a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Warning - When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all the instructions and observe the graphic symbols above before using the product. [. . . ] Switch between fast and slow rotor speeds by pressing the FAST button. To stop the rotors, press the STOP button (this does not deactivate the Rotary Speaker simulation - it only stops the rotors). When you press the STOP button again the rotors will accelerate to the speed they had when you first pressed STOP. ROTOR SPEED CONTROL FROM PEDAL By plugging in a sustain pedal in the ROTOR SPEED PEDAL input you can control the speed selection from a pedal. It's also possible to use a sustain pedal connected to the SUSTAIN PEDAL input to control the speed selection. Please refer to "Config" on page 36 for information on how to set up Nord Electro 2 for operation with sustain/switch pedals. OUTPUT LEVEL The OUTPUT LEVEL knob controls the individual output volume for each Program. It's fully programmable for each Program and sends/receives MIDI CC# 7 (Main Volume). Note: The Output Level is always active even if no other sub groups of the Effects section are active. Page 31 5. Panel reference: The left panel section NORD ELECTRO 2 V2. 0x BA TREBLE & BASS The last group of the effects section is a 2-band equalizer which features controls for bass and treble. The bass and treble settings are fully programmable for each Program. THE LEFT PANEL SECTION The left panel section features controls for Program handling, system functions, MIDI functions etc. There, you'll also find the Octave Shift and Transpose functions. MASTER LEVEL The MASTER LEVEL knob controls the output level from the two OUT jacks and the HEADPHONES output. The MASTER LEVEL knob does not send or receive any MIDI CC# but is used to control the entire instrument's output level. (For info on how to control the level(s) of the individual sounds and via MIDI, please refer to "Output Level" on page 31). NAVIGATOR BUTTONS The UP and DOWN NAVIGATOR buttons are used for selecting Program Banks (A-F) and also for selecting system related functions (see "System functions" on page 33). DISPLAY The DISPLAY is mainly used for displaying Program Banks and Program numbers. It also displays system related functions described in the `System functions' paragraph below. ST O R E The red STORE button is used for storing Programs and Drawbar presets and also for executing various system related operations. PROGRAM BUTTONS The PROGRAM buttons 1-8 are used for selecting Programs from the internal memory and also for accessing the different system functions described below. Page 32 NORD ELECTRO 2 V2. 0x 5. Panel reference: System functions SH OCTAVE SHIFT The two OCTAVE SHIFT buttons to the bottom left on the front panel can be used to transpose the notes two octaves up or down (if the selected instrument supports this). Note: Due to the actual key range of the original Piano instruments, some sounds cannot be octave shifted up and/or down. For organ sounds, the Octave Shift will only generate notes that are within the 73-key note range of Nord Electro 2 73. This means that using Octave Shift for Organ sounds in Nord Electro 2 73 won't produce any sound in the lowest or highest octave. SH THE SHIFT BUTTON To the right of the OCTAVE SHIFT buttons is the SHIFT button. It's used to access various kinds of system functions etc. SYSTEM FUNCTIONS To access the system functions, press and hold SHIFT and press the corresponding PROGRAM button. All changes you make in the system parameters are automatically stored in Nord Electro 2, with some exceptions: `MIDI Local Off', `Master Tune', `Transpose' and `Output routing (Hard pan)' are not stored. CH MIDI CH Press the SHIFT + PROGRAM 1 (MIDI CH) buttons to enter the MIDI Channel function. Here you set the MIDI Channel for the Nord Electro 2 to send and respond to. Press any button (except for the SHIFT, STORE or UP/ DOWN buttons) to exit. [. . . ] This version features a slimmer design and better served the live keyboard player on stage. The D6 sported 15 different filter settings, four different microphone settings, and a mute function to dampen the strings. An improved internal string-dampening feature also reduced the acoustic feedback problem. The E7's insides were the same as the D6, with the addition of a special filter to reduce interference from light dimmers and other electric equipment used on stage. [. . . ]
