ORPH PARAMETER RANGES
In the previous example we controlled the full range of two Instrument L
EVEL
knobs with Morph.
But you can also set relative ranges for parameters. For example, you could assign one parameter to
be controlled fully (min/max), and another parameter knob to be controlled from 12 o’clock position
to 3 o’clock position. This would mean that the first parameter would vary between the min and max
values whereas the second parameter would vary between 12 o’clock position to 3 o’clock within the
Morph assigned controller’s full range.
When you press and hold down one of the buttons in the Morph Assign section to assign Morphing,
the initial position of a parameter determines the
first value, and the position you move the parameter
to determines the second value. Using the Wheel as an example, this means that when you move the
Wheel fully forward the parameter will move from the first value to end up on the second value.

SSIGNMENTS
To clear Morph Assignments, press S
HIFT
and the corresponding button in the Morph Assign section
that stores the assignments that you wish to clear.
To remove an individual parameter, hold down the
M
ORPH ASSIGN
button that the parameter is as-
signed to. The current range will be shown by the rotary encoder LEDs for the parameter. Move the
rotary encoder until both LEDs go off to erase the Morph assignment.

FTERTOUCH
We have previously used the Wheel as an example controller, but you can also use Aftertouch to
Morph control parameters.
The Nord Stage keyboard can respond in two ways to how you play. The first is velocity (not appli-
cable for organ sounds or Morph), which means that the faster the player presses a key down, the
higher the velocity value. Once a key is played and held down, there is also 'Aftertouch' (sometimes
called channel pressure). The player can apply more pressure on a key while it is down; and this will
generate a signal that can be used to control parameters. Applying Aftertouch to one key will affect
the sound of all sounding notes of the instrument.
