Nord Electro 6D Sustain only lower half of Keyboard
Nord Electro 6D Sustain only lower half of Keyboard
I have a Nord Electro 6D 73. On one of the programs I have setup, I have the keyboard split with piano on the lower half and B3 organ on the upper half. Is there a way to setup the sustain pedal to only sustain the piano sound (lower half of the keyboard)?

You can turn the sustain on or off for each section right from the panel.

Re: Nord Electro 6D Sustain only lower half of Keyboard
If you have two keyboards, the lower keyboard must have a jack for a sustain pedal. At least on my lower keyboard, if I press the sustain pedal it sustains regardless of the setting on the Nordbbdude wrote:I have a Nord Electro 6D 73.

Re: Nord Electro 6D Sustain only lower half of Keyboard
Correct, because when you use the "EXTERNAL KBD TO LO" feature of NE6, the sections assigned to Lower are disconnected from NE6 controls (keyboard, pedals) and related settings, so all controls depend on the External keyboard sending them or not (including sustain).NeFerreira wrote:If you have two keyboards, the lower keyboard must have a jack for a sustain pedal.

But the OP case of this thread is just a split of the NE6 own keyboard, so for that it is enough to learn how to enable sustain on the lower part.

It's true, I read it wrong

Ok thanks all. Each section has its own sustain on/off. Should have been obvious to me -- I should have seen that.
