Effect 1
Effect 1 offers three different types of effects:
Tremolo, Auto-Panning, and 2 types of Wah-Wah.
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.
Tremolo
is a volume modulation that continuously varies the signal vol-
ume. Tremolo is a commonly used effect, especially for electric pianos.
The Tremolo effect is stereo in/stereo out.
Rate range: 0 - 10.5 Hz.
The
Pan
effect is an automatic panning modulation that smoothly
moves the signal between the left and right outputs in the stereo pan-
orama. The Pan effect is stereo in/stereo out.
Rate range: 0 - 10.5 Hz.
The
A-Wa
is a wah-effect where a lowpass filter sweeps across the
frequency range, and 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.
A-Wa1 has a nice, mellow sound. A-Wa2 reacts a bit faster and gives
you a brighter, more distinct character.
The Wah effects are stereo in/stereo out.
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.
The
Flanger
produces a characteristic comb filter effect. The Flanger
effect is stereo in/stereo out.
Rate range: 0 - 10.5 Hz.
The
Phaser
effect produces a characteristic “sweep” effect commonly
used with electric piano sounds. The phaser effect is stereo in/stereo
out.
Rate range: 0 - 10.5 Hz.
The
Chorus
effect simulates having several slightly de-tuned signals.
The Chorus is stereo in/stereo out.
Rate range: 0 - 2.7 Hz.
Delay
The delay allows you to add echo effects. The delay time can be set
between 20 and 750 milliseconds. The delay effect is stereo in/stereo
out.
Dry/Wet
The Dry/Wel knob sets the balance between the dry, unprocessed
signal and the wet, processed signal.
Feedback
The Feedback is the number of repeats. There are four available set-
tings, indicated by the LEDs. Press the Feedback button repeatedly to
select a setting.
Tempo Tap/Set
Tap the Tempo button to set a delay time. Pressing and holding the
Tap/Set button allows you to set a delay time using the Up/Down but-
tons to the left of the Display.
If the Delay Mode in the Sound Menu is set to “Analog”, the pitch
of the repeats will change if you change the tempo with the Up/
Down buttons. If you set the tempo by tapping, this pitch change
will not occur.
Equalizer
The Nord Piano 2 has a 3-band EQ with treble, bass and a sweep-able
midrange (4 kHz, 100 Hz and 200 Hz ~ 8 kHz). The frequencies can be
boosted or attenuated with +/- 15 dB. The EQ is stereo in, stereo out.
Amp/Comp
This section contains the speaker/amp emulations and a compressor.
Small
,
JC
and
Twin
emulates three different kinds of amplifier and
speaker cabinets. The
Dist
is a tube distortion effect without any
speaker emulation. The amount of drive is controlled by the Speaker/
Comp knob.
The Small, JC and Twin effects are mono in/mono out, the Dist effect is
stereo in/stereo out.
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. The compressor is stereo
in/stereo out.
When Comp is active, the Drive/Comp knob controls the amount of
compression applied.
Reverb
The Reverb section simulates the natural sound reflections in various
acoustic environments. You can choose between six reverb types with
various lengths and densities, indicated by the LEDs in the selector.
The Stage “1” is a softer version, the Stage “2” is a brighter version,
etc.. The reverb effect is stereo in/stereo out.
The Dry/Wet knob sets the balance between the unprocessed and the
processed signal.
