Re: Newbie questions for the Electro 6D
I asked this question earlier:
"The manual states: "When shipped, the nord electro 6 is configured to output all audio through the Left & Right outputs"
And "In Stereo mode, all sounds are sent to both audio outputs."
I plan on running a guitar cord to my bass amp. Can I plug into either LEFT or RIGHT output channel and be OK? If I use a split patch such as piano/organ, will both sounds be summed MONO to both the LEFT or RIGHT?
I just want a MONO out to an amp."
I noticed reading the manual that there is a global "MONO" button in the piano section that apparently affects all patches until you either turn it off or the piano is turned off.
It this correct? If so, my concern is unwarranted. I can run a guitar plug to the bass amp and have mono....

Re: Newbie questions for the Electro 6D
Yes, I‘d say I read it the same. Page 15 of the manual

is it. One can argue why a global button is located in the piano section, but the wording seems clear.

Re: Newbie questions for the Electro 6D
Even if Nord piano sounds are produced to be played in stereo, there are some that are reported to sound good in mono, too. Which is important, as a lot of stage situations will have mono amplification anyhow.
There are different ways to play in mono: The simplest way would be to choose either the left or right channel for amplification - which will result in a sort of emphasis of either lower or higher piano frequencies. Next way would be that [mono] button. Another solution is to keep the instrument in stereo and forward both channels to a single amplification. All of these are reported to be used. So you have to see what you'll prefer.
I read the manual in that way that the [mono] button reacts globally in a double sense:
a) it not only affects the piano sounds, but effects (and that way organ), too;
b) it is not a per-program feature, but will work for all programs as long as it's on.

Perhaps someone who owns an Electro 6 can verify this for us. (My NE6D 73 is still 2 days away from delivery) <G>

Re: Newbie questions for the Electro 6D
The mono button impacts all engines (piano, organ and synth). It belonged to the program and was not a global setting up until release 2.50 of the firmware, but is now a global setting - so it stays in whatever state you have it across program changes, until you reboot.mrsugmad wrote:Perhaps someone who owns an Electro 6 can verify this for us.

Great to know Thanks..!
Re: Newbie questions for the Electro 6D
I think if you can monitor in stereo - you will get more of the Leslie vibe - that should give your playing a bit more energy and the audience might pick up on that. If you're playing through a PA I would go mono just in case the engineer pans your keys hard left and right - that would be too much! I also think mono is more focused and has more punch. Better for rock anyway. When I record my real Leslie I just put one mic on the horn and the other on the rotor. But sometimes I've got good results with one mic just about a foot away and closer to the horn.
The weird thing about simulating the Leslie is that the Nord should send the Horn and Rotor out of separate outputs. Then you could put your speakers on top of each other!

I'm pretty sure the old Hamichord had that option (predecessor to the Mojo, running a version of VB3). I don't know whether anything can do it today. But it's a cool idea.
