If .the .Live .memory .is .selected .and .you .decide .you .wish .to .store .the .
settings .permanently .as .a .program .you .can .do .so .using .the .stan-
dard .methods .(see .above) . .You .can .also .store .programs .into .the .Live .
memory .location, .in .which .case .the .program .settings .will .replace .the .
current .Live .memory .settings .
Instrument selectors
Press .one .of .the .Instrument .Selectors .to .use .either .the .organ .or .the .
piano/sample .sounds .

Shift
Many .buttons .have .a .second .function, .when .there .is .text .printed .below .
the .button . .You .access .these .additional .functions .and .parameters .by .
holding .Shift .while .pressing .a .button .
Octave Shift
The .two .Octave .Shift .buttons .can .be .used .to .transpose .the .keyboard .
two .octaves .up .or .down .(if .the .selected .instrument .supports .this) . .Two .
Octave .Shift .LEDs .that .are .lit .at .the .right .or .left .position .indicates .+/- .2 .
octaves .shift .
Each .instrument .in .Nord .Electro .4D .has .a .finite .note .range:
• .The .Organ .extends .one .octave .below .and .one .octave .above .an .88 .
note .keyboard .range .
• .The .Piano .and .Samples .extends .one .octave .below .an .88 .key .range, .
but .not .above .
Effects
.
The .Effects .section .of .Nord .Electro .4D .can .be .used .for .processing .
the .organ .and .piano/sample .sounds . .It .is .programmable .and .you .can .
configure .your .effects .separately .for .each .program . .

EQ
This .is .a .3-band .EQ .with .treble, .bass .and .a .sweepable .midrange . .The .
frequency .ranges .can .be .boosted/attenuated .with .+/- .15 .dB .
Effect 1
Effect .1 .offers .four .different .types .of .effects: .
Tremolo
, .
Auto-Panning
, .
2 .types .of .
Wah-Wah
.and .a .ring .modulator .(
RM
) .
The .tremolo .and .the .auto-panning .have .3 .selectable .depths . .Pan1 .is .
less .dramatic .than .Pan2, .and .Pan .3 .(both .Pan .LEDs .lit) .is .the .most .
dramatic . .
The .Rate .knob .control .the .rate .of .the .effect . .
The .
A-Wa
.is .a .wah-effect .where .a .lowpass .filter .sweep .across .the .
frequency .range .is .controlled .by .the .volume .of .the .signal . .This .means .
that .you .can .use .the .velocity .on .the .keyboard .to .control .the .amount .of .
“Quack!” .in .the .sound . .The .Rate .knob .sets .the .frequency .range .of .the .
sweep .
The .
P-Wa
.uses .the .Rate .knob .to .control .a .lowpass .filter .sweep .across .
the .frequency .range . .If .a .control .pedal .is .connected, .this .sweep .is .
instead .controlled .by .the .pedal .action, .and .the .Rate .knob .will .then .
have .no .effect . .
Ring Modulation
.(RM) .is .a .an .effect .that .multiplies .two .signals .with .
each .other . .In .the .Electro .4D, .these .are .the .instrument .audio .signal .and .
a .modulation .sine .wave . .The .results .can .be .range .from .a .subtle .color-
ing .to .screaming, .inharmonic, .bell .type .sounds . .The .Rate .knob .controls .
the .frequency .of .the .sine .wave, .also .perceived .as .a .“modulation .rate” . .
A .connected .control .pedal .will .control .the .amount .of .the .ring .modula-
tion . .If .no .control .pedal .is .connected, .the .amount .defaults .a .medium .
setting .and .the .Rate .knob .can .be .used .to .produce .a .manually .con-
trolled .ring .modulation .effect .
Effect 2
Effect .2 .offers .three .types .of .modulation .effects: .
Phaser
, .
Flanger
.and .
Chorus
.
Each .of .these .effects .has .3 .selectable .depths .in .the .same .fashion .as .
the .tremolo .and .pan .in .the .Effects .1 .section . .The .Rate .knob .control .the .
rate .of .the .effect . .
Speaker/Comp
This .section .contains .the .speaker/amp .emulations, .the .rotary .speaker .
emulation .and .a .compressor . .
Small
, .
JC
.and .
Twin
.emulates .three .different .kinds .of .amplifier .and .
speaker .cabinets . .The .amount .of .drive .is .controlled .by .the .Speaker/
Comp .knob . .
Rotary
.simulates .a .rotary .speaker .including .its .built-in .amplifier . .The .
knob .sets .the .amount .of .overdrive .of .the .rotary .amplifier; .the .speed .
of .the .rotating .speaker .is .set .with .the .rotary .speed .controls .on .the .left .
side .of .the .panel .
Comp
.is .a .compressor .that .will .even .out .the .dynamics .of .what .you .
play, .making .low .level .sounds .louder .and .high .level .sounds .lower .in .
volume . .This .produces .a .tight, .punchy .sound .and .makes .the .overall .
level .easier .to .control .in .a .live .mix .situation . .When .this .effect .is .active, .
the .Drive/Comp .knob .controls .the .amount .of .compression .applied .
