Hello guys,

I've been doing research but couldn't find any information about this.

I'm planning to use my electro 2 w/ midi controller as 2 manual organ, but

is it possible to use bass pedal too?

I just saw good deal on local craigslist and just wondering.

I can do rehears and jamming with real hammond setup at School, but sometime (school close during the break which is doesn't make any sense..)

I like to play at friend's house with warm vibe.

Btw, I just ordered electric Harmonix holy grail reverb pedal and yamaha FC-7 + modified tip, I'll write a post here when I get those.

Thanks in advance :)

Hello kshim,
The NE2 doesn't have a separate voice for the pedal manual. It only has upper and lower manual drawbutton settings.
With that said, a MIDI pedal controller like the Roland PK series, or StudioLogic's MP series can control either the bass end of the upper, or lower manuals depending on the midi channel that you choose.
You will also need some type of MIDI merge device like this one to get the two MIDI inputs into your NE2.
Cheers, Hanon
