Stands for Ring Modulation and is a type of modulation where two signals are mul-
tiplied with each other. The result is an inharmonic sound that is great for metallic
or bell-like timbres. In the Nord Electro the Piano or Organ signal is multiplied with
an additional sinewave.
Set the sinewave pitch with the
R
ATE
knob and the amount of ring modulation with the
A
MOUNT
knob.

Tremolo modulation is basically an automatic volume control that continuously varies the output signal
volume. Tremolo is a commonly used modulation, especially on electric pianos.
Use the
R
ATE
and
A
MOUNT
knobs to control the Tremolo rate and depth. Note that the output volume
is at maximum level at zero
A
MOUNT
setting.

The Wah-Wah modulation is mainly used for electric guitars to get that characteristic “talking guitar”
sound. Wah-Wah can also be extremely useful on electric piano sounds. Try out the Clavinet sound with
With the
R
ATE
knob you set the basic
pitch of the additional sinewave. The
set pitch then fully tracks the keyboard.
With the
A
MOUNT
knob you control
the level of ring modulation.
The filled curve indicates maximum
A
MOUNT
value and the dashed
curves indicate lower
A
MOUNT
values.
The filled curve indicates maximum
A
MOUNT
value and the dashed
curves indicate lower
A
MOUNT
values. At zero
A
MOUNT
value the
output level is constantly at maximum level (the straight dashed line).
