Using Swell Pedal to Control Sample Volume? (NS2 EX)

Post by iluvchiclets »

Hi,

I hope the answer isn't staring me right-in-the face, but I want to use my Swell Pedal to control the volume of a sample. I would like to emulate the volume swells of a pedal-steel player, using the great Chamberlin Steel guitar samples.

I was able to do this on my Electro 5 and 6, (as well as my Stage 3 if I recall correctly?) but I can't seem to see the buttons or process how I'd do this on my Stage 2 EX.

Can anyone share any ideas how I might go about doing this?

Hi, on the Nord Stage the Swell is dedicated to Swell or global Volume, but you can instead connect the Expression Pedal to the CtrlPedal input, set it as Ctrl+Swell in System Menu and then you need to use the Morph to assign the CtrlPedal to the Synth volume.
