4d with Pedals

Postby ybrian » 21 Dec 2012, 06:17

Hello,
I am considering purchasing a 4d. Is it possible to connect a midi pedalboard (nord pedalkeys, roland pk, etc) to the 4d and have it serve the traditional bass function?

Please let me know and thanks!

Side note: I grew up in church playing Hammonds from an early age (c3 with two 122's) and I now currently play a c3 with 145's and I should say I'm was quite impressed with the C2D I tried out for the first time today. Almost impressed enough to go out and steal $3500 ;)

I might be wrong because I don't own the 4D, but I think it doesn't support pedal drawbars. It has only the upper and the lower ones. If you wanna play the pedals, you might wanna get the C2D or the C2. The C2 is cheaper than before now. It might be a great time to get it because I'm guessing it will be discontinued pretty soon. If you upgrade the OS on the C2, you can get the same sound as the C2D.

I have owned nord electro. I sold it and bought the c2d.

If you are going for just the organ buy the nord c2d!! big difference!

If you want both ep and good organ buy hammond sk2.

If the pianos is more important than the organ buy nord electro or nord stage.

"The C2 is cheaper than before now."

And Ocean Beach makes a drawbar set designed to fit right on top of a C2. $300 I'd be happy with two LED sets, and one physical set for the swell especially if I picked up a bargain C2. They are even painted Nord red.
