IBRATO

The original B-3 chorus and vibrato scanner consists of a tapped delay line 
in combination with a rotating scanner. For the Vibrato effect, phase shift 
is applied to the signal. For the Chorus effect, the phase modulated signal 
is added to the original signal. A lot of time and effort have been spent in 
accurately recreating the chorus and vibrato scanner effect. Like on the 
original, Nord Electro 2 offers three different types of choruses (C1-C3) and 
three different types of vibratos (V1-V3). Select one of these types by press-
ing the S

 button. You activate and deactivate the Vibrato section by pressing the O

 button.

In the Manual section you can choose to split the Nord Electro 2 keyboard into 
two sections, the Lower Manual and the Upper Manual. Each Manual can have 
its own drawbar, percussion and chorus/vibrato settings. If you don’t use the Split 
function you will only have access to the Upper Manual settings from the internal 
keyboard.

KEYBOARD

As a special feature of Nord Electro 
2 you can connect a second key-
board via MIDI In to use as a Lower 
Manual keyboard. This way you 
can play the internal keyboard as 
the Upper Manual and the addi-
tional MIDI keyboard as the Lower 
Manual. Since the organ has full po-
lyphony you’ll have this also when 
using an additional Lower Manual 
MIDI keyboard! Do like this to set up the Nord Electro 2 for use with a second keyboard:

1. Connect the additional MIDI keyboard’s MIDI Out to the Nord Electro 2’s MIDI I

.

2. Select a MIDI channel on the external keyboard.
