Overview
The effects available on the Nord Stage 2 EX can be divided into three
main categories:
Slot Effects
- these can affect one instrument (per Slot) at a time. The
Slot effects are located in the main Effects section and in the AmpSim/
EQ section. All Slot effects have separate engines and settings for Slot
A and B, you have two sets of Slot effects available for each Program.
These effects can be synchronized to the Master Clock which can
produce some very creative sounds.
Global Effects
- these affect all instruments routed to the main out-
puts CH1 & CH2. The global effects are the Compressor and Reverb
on the far right of the front panel.
The Rotary Speaker
works in a slightly differently way compared to
the Slot effects. Read more about the Rotary on page 39.
About mono/stereo and effect routing
Some of the effects are mono in/mono out, some are stereo in/stereo
out and others are mono in/stereo out. The channel configuration is
stated in the related text for each individual effect. Whenever this ap-
plies it will also be explained in the corresponding effect description.
The Slot effects
Activating Slot effects
To enable a Slot effect, press the ON/OFF button
at the bottom of the corresponding effect section.
The LEDs above the button will indicate which
instrument the effect is assigned to. Hold down
Shift and press the Source button to change the
instrument assignment.
You can also step through the instrument assignments by double-
clicking the Source button. This is convenient when you only have one
hand free and cannot reach the Shift button.
Making settings for Slot effects
Use the Rate/Tempo and Amount knobs in the main “Effects” section
(Effect 1/Effect 2/Delay) to make settings for the individual effects. The
parameters these two knobs controls depend on the selected effect
- these are described for the corresponding effects below. The Rate/
Tempo and Amount knobs can also be Morph controlled - see page 19.
