SUSTPED AND PSTICK
SUSTPED (Shift+Layer A) activates an attached sustain pedal for the
Synth section. Read more on how to configure pedals in the Menus
chapter, on page 58.
PSTICK/RNG (Pitch Stick/Range, Shift+Layer B) turns on pitch stick
functionality for the selected Layer. The bend range for the Pitch Stick
can be set in semitone steps by pressing down the button and selecting
a value from the displayed list.
SYNTH SECTION MODES
The Nord Stage 4 Synth Section can be used in three
distinct modes: SAMPLES, ANALOG or EXTERN. The
Extern functionality (Shift+Mode) allows for advanced
MIDI control of external units and is described in its
own chapter, starting on page 45. Read more about
the Samples and Analog modes respectively, further
down.
SYNTH PRESETS
The Nord Stage 4 comes with a large selection of multi- and single-
Layer Synth Presets, including Effects. These are browsed and loaded
using the SYNTH button in the PRESET LIBRARY area, of the central
Program section.
Presets can of course be further tweaked manually and be stored as
part of a Program. Modified or user created sounds can also be stored
to the Preset Library, for quick and easy recall from within any Program.
Read more about the Preset Library on page 40.
SAMPLES
The Nord Stage 4 comes with a large selection of samples from the
Nord Sample Library 4, covering a wide range of categories.
There is 1 GB of memory for samples, and additional samples can be
downloaded from www.nordkeyboards.com. Custom samples can also
be created and downloaded to the Nord Stage 4 using the Nord Sample
Editor 4 software. Read more about this on page 63.
Browsing and selecting samples is done by pressing WAVEFORM and
then using the CAT and SAMPLE dials, under the Synth display.
The dynamic BRIGHT filter, activated by turning its dial to On, provides
a quick way of enhancing high frequencies in a sample instrument. This
can be useful for making certain sounds “pop” more, for instance when
layering with other samples or synth sounds.
Pressing SHIFT and turning the Cat or Sample dial enters the LIST view
mode, providing excellent overview of the Sample Library.
Turning INFO (Shift+left dial) toggles the screen to show information
about the sample, such as its size and version, in place of the category
name.
SAMPLE PRESETS
Samples from the Nord Sample Library 4 come with a set of preset
values for certain Synth parameters, in order to make them instantly
playable. These include Amp Envelope and Velocity settings, which
are normally set to values defined in the Sample itself when loaded.
Furthermore, the Filter is turned Off and active LFO settings are
deactivated.
l To load samples without their preset settings, keeping all edited
Synth parameters intact, hold down the Waveform button while
turning the Sample dial, as indicated by the KEEP EDITS label.
NATURAL, NO DYN, FAST ATK
Some further options for Sample customization can be found by
entering the PITCH/SMP menu and using the third dial:
• Natural. The Sample uses the built-in dynamic behaviour defined by
the Sample Preset. This can include velocity controlled filter response
and other dynamic mechanisms that are not directly accessible from
the Nord Stage 4 panel.
• No Dyn (No Dynamics). The built-in dynamic behaviours described
above are deactivated.
• Fast Atk (Fast Attack). An alternate starting point is used for the
Sample, bypassing most or all of the natural sample attack phase.
ANALOG
In Analog mode the Synth Section gives access to a wide array of both
Classic analog waveforms and rich Wavetables, as well as a number
of different FM algorithms. There is also a selection of Miscellaneous
waveforms covering various types of Noise and a Bell algorithm.
OSC CTRL
Oscillator Control, OSC CTRL, is used to alter the sound in various ways
depending on the currently selected waveform. The Osc Ctrl parameter
can be modulated by the Oscillator Envelope or the LFO, and morph
controlled, allowing real-time use of the wheel, aftertouch or pedal for
controlling the sound.
WAVEFORM SELECTION
In Analog mode pressing the Waveform Select button presents a
number of Types, selected with the left Type dial:
Analog: Analog style waveforms ranging from basic single oscillator
configurations to common dual and multi oscillator setups, as well as
Noise and other miscellanous waveforms.
FM-H (FM Harmonic): A collection of algorithms using FM (Frequency
Modulation) synthesis. In FM-H mode the relationship between the
modulator and the carrier is harmonic, making this mode suitable for
more tonal and traditional sounds.
