The Presence section features a parametric EQ with frequency and amount con-
trols. Use it if you’d like to amplify or attenuate frequency bands of the piano in-
struments. Activate and deactivate the Presence function by pressing the
O
N
button and set the frequency to be amplified or attenuated with the
F
REQ
knob.
With the
A
MOUNT
knob you set the amplification/attenuation in dB.
Note that the Clavinet D6 instrument that comes with OS V2.0 makes use of
the Presence effect in a different way (se below).

The Mega Clavinet (Clav) sound in the V2.0 factory library makes use of the
Presence section in a different way than the other piano sounds. On an original
Clavinet D6 you can select different pick-up and filter combinations by pressing
a number of rocker switches. This functionality is very faithfully simulated in the
Nord Electro 2 V2.0. It means that from the Mega Clavinet instrument in the
Electro 2 you can get all the 60 different Clavinet D6 sounds plus an additional
4 by selecting different pick-up and filter combinations! This is how it works:
The
F
REQ
knob works as a filter selector with which you can select one of the 15
(sounding) combinations of the ‘Brilliant’, ‘Treble’, ‘Medium’ and ‘Soft’ filters of
the original D6. The filter combinations are described in the figure below.
By turning the
FREQ
knob you select one of 15 Clavinet D6 filter combinations plus an additional Bypass variation.
The filter combination number is briefly shown in the
D
ISPLAY
as you turn the
FREQ
knob.
