Need some help/suggestions with an issue I'm having with the rotary speed control on my C2D. Here are the details: I use a Nord Half Moon Switch. Organ Model set to "B3". Leslie choice set to 122,"Standard" settings". Rotor Control Type (menu) set to "Halfmoon". Here's the situation: If I manually turn off the "stop" mode in Rotary Speaker, and have the halfmoon in "slow", I correctly get a chorale speed. When I set the halfmoon to "fast", I correctly get the tremelo speed. (here's the problem) When I switch the halfmoon back to "slow" the "Stop Mode" automatically illuminates, and I lose the chorale speed. Same thing happens if I start in chorale speed, (manually turned off Stop Mode), switch to Stop on the half moon, and then switch back to chorale, Stop Mode is automatically activated and stays that way until I manually deactivate it. This seems like a new issue. The halfmoon switch used to correctly control all 3 speeds, eliminating the need for any manual button pushing.
Any thoughts? Thanks all!

Re: ROTARY SPEAKER CONTROL
Well here's an update for the 64 users who viewed my post, but didn't seem to have any suggestions. First, thanks for looking. So, the problem has been identified.
I outsmarted myself, this time (again). I went thru all the menus, looking for a change I may have made, downloaded the most recent OS version, tried all different combinations of settings, etc. Did everything except the first thing I used to do before I knew anything about technology - check the damn cable! The plug was ok, the solder joints on the switch were all ok. But sure enough, bend the wire a little at the 90 degree plug, and voila!
Which brings me to my suggestion for NORD. Have to believe most players leave the rotary switch on the organ, and plugged in - cable neatly tucked or taped out of harms way. Thing is, the jack is on the back side which ultimately becomes the 'bottom' when in a case that's turned upright for carrying or loading in a car. Perhaps relocate the jack or at least recess it somewhat so no weight is resting on the plug. 2nd point - for such an ingenious instrument that i'm totally awed by, how can NORD place it at the mercy of such a cheap and vulnerable plastic accessory jack?!? Not exactly the Columbia "O ring" disaster but, gave me quite the headache! S'all good! LOVE MY AX!
