K-152 Half Moon Leslie Switch (Compatible with select Nord & Hammond Keyboards).

The K-152 gives you classic control of the rotary speaker simulator feature of compatible Nord and Hammond products. The compact, low profile design allows the K-152 to remain attached to the keyboard when cased*. The robust 3-position lever switch features a firm detent design for assertive transitions between the slow, stop and fast positions. Designed, printed and assembled in the USA by a musician with 40 years of playing experience.

Application Instructions:

Installation:

  1. Position the K-152 so its mounting holes align with the threaded inserts on the underside of the keyboard case.

  2. Using the supplied M4 x 0.75 hardware, carefully attach the K-152 to the keyboard, taking care not to cross-thread the screw or to over-tighten. Note: Some users have reported paint over-spray in keyboard’s threaded inserts providing a little resistance.

  3. Route the K-152 cable to the rear panel of the keyboard and plug it into the jack marked Rotor Pedal (Nord) or FOOT SWITCH (Hammond).

  4. If the installation is permanent, a few strips of gaffers tape can hold the cable in place and to work with your keyboard stand.
