I have an Electro 6D and would like to be able to change programs with a pedal rather than having to reach up and turn the list/value knob. How do I go about doing this? I've found this info for the NS-3 but after hours using the search for the Electro 6 I haven't found an explanation. What I did find was that the Boss FS-6 pedal or a midi might do the job. Is this correct? Thanks.

Hi Edcat and welcome!

I know there are several topics about this. Try using search?

Enjoy your stay!

Thanks! Have learned that the program change with a pedal is unavailable on the Electro series.

Hi Edcat !
You can use a Midi Mouse. Works with electro 6.
Here is a tutorial : https://youtu.be/Me6X9eQ6gIk

Not completely true... you can use something like bandhelper (connected to a bluetooth pedal) to send out program changes to your NE.

Well in itself the statment is 100% true "on the Electro" (alone) it is not available (unlike on NS3) and btw this is pretty clear from the NE6 manual; then of course it is available via MIDI and a user can exploit that option in various ways, but that's generally true for any keyboard with programs.

Hi there!

There is not a stock way of changing programs on the NE6 like there is on the NS3. Instead of using a Boss Pedal like you are able to on the NS3, you need to use a Midi Pedal.

A YouTube channel called MyKeysToMusic (Marc Larochelle) works on tutorials for the Nord Keyboard series. He has recently released a new video on a pedal called the 'Midi Mouse'. This uses the Midi In port on your NS6 and sends midi signals to change your patch or program. The link to his video is here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me6X9eQ6gIk&t=

Hopefully this is a solution to your problem

All the best

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm the student that Marc was referring to on the video. The Midi Mouse works great. BTW Marc's video is excellent. It covers everything on the Electro 6 and he also has videos for the Stage 3 and Electro 5.
