Applying Nord Effects Section to External Audio Instrument

[Sillypianoguy]

Hello Nord Community!

I have enjoyed being a Nord owner for about four years, now, and I can not say enough good things about these amazing instruments! Because the "Effects" section of my Stage 2 EX is so comprehensive and well-crafted, I have never felt the need to dabble in "guitar"-type effects pedals. However, I am looking into purchasing the Hammond 44HP Melodica which has a 1/4 in output (but obviously has no built-in effects). Rather than purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of effects pedals for an auxiliary instrument, I would like to know: Can I somehow run my Melodica (or guitar, or any other external electric instrument) into the Nord Stage 2 EX and process it through Nord's effects section, in essence, using Nord's effects section as a "digital pedal board" of sorts?

Also, would the answer to this question be the same for my Nord Electro 6D?

Apologies, but after a bit of navigation around the forum, it looks like there was a more suitable category for this question, but I am new to the forums, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to delete this question! :O

Already asked and... it is not possible on any Nord keyboard (except the old Modulars), effects are internal only, audio in is only a pass through to headphones (on latest model also to main outputs)

Sad day This would be an amazing feature!

The Zoom Multi Stomp MS-70 CDR is a good option for a single pedal covering a wide range of effects.
