Is there an adapter or any other way to use 2 different expression pedals with one Nord if you like a different one for Organ vs Clav?

Try a search for 'mono jack footswitch' and lots of possibilities should come up - if you want a footswitch ofcourse. Otherwise there should also be similar devices available as a switch box.

I do not understand how you want to use 2 different expression pedals in the same plug connector? Do you want to do independent things while connected to the same input??

It's already in the question: different pedals for different sounds on the Nord.

Mono jack footswitch has nothing to do with expression pedals, which work on a TRS (stereo) type jack.

What the OP would need is an A/B switch designed for standard stereo jacks. Unfortunately most A\B switch on the music market are designed with mono input/outputs (for guitar); there are steeo A/B switches for heaphones that would do the job but I have only found models with mini jacks, so if I had to need one I'd rather go for DIY (not difficult to do, requires 3 stereo jacks, a DPDT switch and some appropriate wiring see this as a generic example)

Of course the caveat is that eithe you have 2 pedals of the same type so that you don't need to change it on the Keybard System menu or you will have to switch that too (or you can try to transform them into the same "polarity" with appropriate wiring, but not sure how well the NE will adapt to it if the pot values are different between the 2)

What models are the two pedals Saxobone?

Sorry Arjan P, it is still not clear at ll. The expression pedal is just a potentiometer, unless I am missing something, it makes no sense use two different ones because there is only one input.

Interesting that Yamaha shows its FC7 (which the OP has, from a different topic) with a mono jack on their own site. But anyway, re-read: "Try a search for 'stereo jack footswitch'..."

In another topic, the OP says he likes the behaviour of the Yamaha FC7 for one sound but not for another. I believe it's between B3 volume and Clavinet wah-wah control. So in fact he'll be switching potmeters when switching between pedals. It's this topic BTW: nord-electro-forum-f9/adjusting-sweep-u ... 14955.html

I see. Can the clav wah wah be adjusted so it responds to the range that the pedal delivers?
