Fairly new Nord user - compatible sustain pedals

Post by Rtimpanaro »

Is there a list of compatible sustain pedals with the electro 6 ? Maybe I missed it in the manual

Sustain pedals alt probably the least complicated pedals to be used - you just have to check if they open or close when pressed and adjust the settings in the system menu of the Electro accordingly. Good pedals are the original Nord pedals and the Fatar VFP which are both the same, just with different branding. I like the Roland DP-10 because of the rubber plate which can be used to stop the pedal slide away, but Korg, Miditech, Yamaha and others are also working. You don’t need to buy one with half-pedal function since the Electro does not support it (if I remember correctly),

As Schorsch said, the Nord Electro sustain input only works with on/off switch pedals (both "normally open" or "normally closed", it will autodetect the type or you can set it in the menu, read about that in the manual), Roland DP10 for example will work only in on-off mode (it has a switch to select that vs Continuous), other continuous-only pedals won't work.
