The left pedal is the soft pedal, also known as the Una Corda. When
applied, all notes will be slightly lower in volume and have a softer, more
subdued, tone quality.
In the middle is the Sostenuto pedal. Notes that are held when the pedal
is pressed down will “have their dampers raised” and keep sustaining,
while subsequent notes will not be sustained.
PEDAL NOISE
When the sustain pedal is operated on an acoustic grand or upright
piano, many different sounds are produced by the mechanical com-
ponents of that instrument’s pedal mechanism. Your Nord Stage 4
reproduces many of these natural sounds. When the sustain pedal is
pressed down, lifting the dampers from the strings, a beautiful sizzle
can be heard.
When the pedal is released, the dampers are returned to the strings,
which creates a different, muted type of sound.
PIANO AND CLAV TIMBRE
A quick method for altering the character of the current piano sound
is to use the Piano and Clav Timbre settings. The Clav settings are
designed to emulate those of the original instrument, while the Piano
settings are designed specifically with piano players in mind - instantly
making a sound softer, brighter or more mid-focused, depending on
what the song calls for.
DYNAMIC COMPRESSION
The Dynamic Compression feature raises the sound level for softer
strokes, enabling an even and audible performance at all times, even
with very dynamic playing.
This section is further described in the Piano chapter, beginning on
page 23.
PROGRAM SECTION
A program on the Nord Stage 4 contains settings for the sound engines
of all Layers and their effects. The center area of the instrument - the
Program section - is where programs are navigated and stored, and
various performance features and settings menus are accessed.
Additionally, this is also where the Organ, Piano and Synth Preset banks
are found, allowing for complete presets – including effects – to be
loaded into any Layer or Section of your program.
This section is described in detail in the Program chapter, beginning on
page 37.
SYNTH SECTION
The Synth section contains three independent Layers and is based on
the acclaimed Nord Wave 2. In addition to Analog style waveforms and
digital Waves and FM algorithms, the Stage 4 Synth can be used for all
sorts of Sample based sounds. It also features a Super (Super Wave)
category suitable for those massive, multi-oscillator, sounds that can
not be created by other means. The large number of oscillator types
allows for a multitude of single or dual oscillator setups, waveshaping,
frequency modulation and more.
The OLED display dedicated to the Synth Section assists with Filter,
Envelope and other Synth settings, and provides excellent overview of
Waveform or Sample selection.
The Nord Sample Library 4 gives Stage 4 owners access to a huge free
library of world-class sounds, including the famous vintage Mellotron
and Chamberlin samples. Custom user samples can also be loaded into
the instrument, opening up a whole new creative world of sound.
In addition to the versatile 12 and 24 dB low-pass filters and the 12 dB
high- and band-pass filters, the Stage 4 provides an emulated transis-
tor low pass filter and a powerful combined low-pass/high-pass filter.
The advanced Arpeggiator, with its Poly, Gate and Pattern modes
makes possible all kinds of rhythmic programming across multiple
Layers.
With dedicated Amp, Filter and Oscillator envelopes, an LFO and Uni-
son control, the Stage 4’s synth capabilities are powerful, and provide
virtually limitless possibilites in terms of stunning on-stage sounds.
There is an in-depth description of this section in the Synth chapter,
beginning on page 27.
EXTERNAL MIDI
The Nord Stage 4 delivers powerful capabilities as a MIDI controller,
especially when using the Extern mode feature of the Synth Section.
Extern can be assigned to keyboard zones just like the internal sound
engines, but specializes in controlling external gear – computers, synth
modules etc. – over MIDI.
The Extern mode is described in detail in the Extern chapter, beginning
on page 45.
LAYER EFFECTS SECTION
A wide array of classic effects are independently available for each Piano
and Synth Layer and for the Organ Section:
The Mod 1 and 2 units provide all essential modulation effects such as
Tremolo, Chorus and Phaser, modeled after legendary stomp boxes
and effects units. With a Variation setting for each effect the number of
available sounds is now greater than ever.
The Delay effect can go anywhere from distinctly vintage to modern and
atmospheric sounding - with its Analog mode and dedicated feedback
Effects with Variations and Filters.
Classic amplifier simulations with Variations, a versatile EQ and
powerful, resonant filters are available in the Amp Sim/EQ section. The
punchy Compressor with an extra tight “fast mode” helps keep your
performance in control. Finally, the lush Reverb – also independently
available per Layer – provides an array of room simulations, from the
small Booth model to an expansive Cathedral, as well as a Spring
reverb. The Reverb Variations, and the characterful Chorale mode for
larger room types, provide plenty of room for experimentation.
l Many of the effect parameters can be “morph” controlled, which
means they can be addressed by the modulation wheel, pedals
or aftertouch. This opens up for all kinds of creative, real-time
interaction with both the sound engines and their effects.
This section – and the Rotary Speaker – is described in detail in the
Layer Effects chapter, beginning on page 47.
