Volume Pedal on NS3

Postby Tomtom1983 » 08 Apr 2018, 10:59

At my NS2 I used a Roland EV5 to controll the volume. When it was connected it worked automatically for all programs.
Do you know how I can do the same at the NS3? When it is connected the volume shows no reaction, only if I set it by morph. But do I have to set it for each program now?

Try to use the organ swell-jack with the Exp.pedal.. this works perfectly over all programs! See also on page 53 in the manual

„System Menu:
11 - sWell Pedal TYPe
This setting con gures a pedal attached to the ORGAN SWELL jack. see “Ctrl Pedal Type” above for details.
Range: Roland EV7 (default), Yamaha FC-7, Korg, Fatar (and Studiologic)
FUNC (FUNCTioN)
This setting con gure the swell Pedal destination. set this to swell if you want this pedal to act as a swell pedal for the organ, or to volume if it should control the volume of all the Nord stage 3 sound engines.
Range: Swell (Default), Volume
GaiN
This setting allows you to add some gain to the output of the pedal. This can be used if an attached pedal does not reach the maximum level or setting.„

I also tried it to use as swell pedal, but the problem was still the same, no reaction. I read the manual many times, even in German, but I couldn‘t fix my problem not yet. There are to little Information about it. Actually I‘m familiar with nord products, but here I‘m feeling stupid. :( Maybe my English is to bad and anybody could post the solution in German?!
Thanks in advance...

Hi there

just ran a test in my NS3, works fine.
If you go to system-settings menu 11- swell pedal, there you need to assign the pedal to function (FUNC) as volume (not swell) pedal.
When you do this, the pedal should control the main volume on every soundprogram.
Be sure to connect the FC to organswell-jack, not controlpedal-jack.

Hi folks. Worked perfectly here too, thanks.

Is there a way to limit the volume range ? example fully open 100% volume, fully closed 80%.

I know I can do the same using the pedal as control pedal and controlling the volume for each section, but this obliges me to set it individually vs. having all controlled without assign controls.

Thanks in advance

Hi Neo, unfortunately there is no parameter to limit the range of Volume control by Swell Pedal, but if you use an expression pedal with the possibility to set the minimum via a pot (e.g. Roland EV5 or Boss FV 500L) you can do it "in HW" ;)

Grazie Max. I was looking to buy a another pedal to use for volume control, besides the expression. I will try Roland EV5 then. Ciao
