Thank You !

Have you set the Midisolutions in "Program INC" mode and what footswitch/pedal are you using with it?

Check also that you are sending on the same MIDI Channel as set for the NS2 "Global" and that you have enabled "Receive" or "Snd&Rcv" as MIDI Program Change Mode (both settings are in the NS2 MIDI menu, see the manual)

Mr_-G- wrote:Careful with that one. It seems that it increases up to 127, then wraps around to 0, but the NS2 has 400 programmes spread over 4 banks. You need to find out if the pedal also sends the bank change so you can access all programmes.


I have a FCB1010. You can send controller messages (MSB and LSB) and do program changes with it. Just note is is kind of a pain to program using the pedals so expect to spend another 20-30 USD for an software editor to program it. I'm currently using it with Hammond SK2, but I anticipate when I get my NS2 next week I will be able to get it to work with that too.

I thought that user MausB (dutch) has such midi controller (he's is not that active).
But maybe you can send him an email through his contact form

I use a pedal https://m.thomann.de/nl/amt_fs_2_midi.htm?ref=mx_o_0 to change my programs. I put it on program change mode and midi out from pedal to midi in Nord. The pedal and nord are in the truck so I can't check it now. Setup was pretty easy. I use it for three years now and really happy with it.

This is something I want to do myself. Will this pedal change programs forwards and backwards. It would be great if you could post the setup for doing this.
Many thanks

Hi Gerry,

This is quit an old topic. I don't think Maurits won't read this that much.
But there are 2 buttons on the pedal. Guess it's for back and foward.
