How do you get the sustain and control pedals to work? I have followed the user manual and set them, but the lights do not go on and they don't work. The programming window shows the control pedal values, but the sound does not vary. Why do they not work when you plug them in?

Have you activated them with the CTRLPED/SUSTPED buttons on the piano/organ/synth sections? Those lights don't go on by themselves.

Because a Nord Electro isn't just a digital piano: It's up to your decision if you want a piano, an organ or a synth sound be sustained or not. This is a per program decision to be stored for each sound engine separately. The same with the control pedal.

There are no buttons for the pedals, that's the problem.

Hi and welcome!

There are indeed buttons for assigning the sustain and control pedal... Maybe the SUSTPED or CTRLPED should do the trick?

Hint: features/settings that are placed/named below a button are accessible using the shift button!

Good luck!
