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 .

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 .4HP .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 .4HP .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 .Bass .frequency .is .100Hz .and .the .High .frequency .is .4 .kHz . .The .
sweepable .mid .range .is .from .200 .Hz .to .8 .kHz . .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 .4HP, .these .are .the .instrument .audio .signal .
and .a .modulation .sine .wave . .The .results .can .be .range .from .a .subtle .
coloring .to .screaming, .inharmonic, .bell .type .sounds . .The .Rate .knob .
controls .the .frequency .of .the .sine .wave, .also .perceived .as .a .“modula-
tion .rate” . .
A .connected .control .pedal .will .control .the .amount .of .the .ring .modula-
tion . .If .no .control .pedal .is .connected, .the .amount .defaults .to .a .moder-
ate .setting .and .the .Rate .knob .can .be .used .to .produce .a .manually .
controlled .ring .modulation .effect .
