LFO WAVEFORM
Press LFO WAVEFORM to select which waveform should be generated
by the LFO, using the corresponding dial under the Synth display:
Waveform Description
Triangle
Suitable for natural vibrato effects and also used for classic
pulse width modulation.
Sawtooth 1
Use for ramp down modulations.
Sawtooth 2
Use for ramp up modulations.
Square
Use for abrupt modulation changes, suitable for trills,
distinct tremolos, etc.
Sample & Hold
Creates a smooth random modulation.
Press GROUP (Shift+Waveform) to apply the current LFO settings to all
Synth Layers and synchronize the phase and control of all LFO’s.
VOICE
The Nord Stage 4 synthesizer has a number of different voice modes for
monophonic or polyphonic playing, selectable in the VOICE area.
MONO AND LEGATO
In both MONO and LEGATO mode only one note is played at a time,
just like on a traditional monophonic synthesizer. The main difference
between the two modes is in how the modulation and amplifier
envelopes act when one is playing legato, i.e. with overlapping key
presses:
In Mono mode both envelopes restart from the point in the attack phase
where the level is equal to the previous note, if the decay or release
phase has been entered. In Legato mode the envelopes do not move
to the attack phase once the decay point has been reached, as long as
one is playing legato.
Another difference is that in Legato mode, glide is active only when you
play legato. I.e. a new key needs to be pressed before the previous key
is released to get the glide effect.
When none of the Mono and Legato LEDs are lit, the Synth section is in
its default polyphonic mode.
LO AND HI PRIORITY MODES
With the LO note priority setting active, notes above the lowest key
being held or sustained will not be played at all. This can be used for
playing layered chords, while keeping a monophonic bass sound at the
bottom end of the range.
Inversely, with note priority set to HI, active notes below the highest key
currently being held or sustained will not produce sound. This can be
used for playing a monophonic melody using the top note of a layered
chord.
i The Lo and Hi settings are only applicable to the Mono and Legato
Voice modes, and have no effect on polyphonic playing.
GLIDE
The GLIDE function makes the pitch “glide” from one note to the next
when playing (traditionally often referred to as portamento) and is
available in Legato and Mono modes only. The glide characteristics
can be described as “constant rate”, which means that the greater the
distance between two subsequent notes, the longer the glide time. Turn
the Glide knob clockwise to increase the glide rate.
UNISON
The Nord Stage 4 Oscillator has a number of extra
oscillators which can be added to the base sound for
those fat, classic synthesizer sounds. Note that using
Unison does not reduce the polyphony. A UNISON
setting of 1 equals a classic dual oscillator de-tuning
effect with only subtle stereo width, while the 2 and 3
settings add even more oscillators and further widens the stereo image.
UNISON AND SAMPLES
In Samples mode, the Unison function is specifically tailored to provide
a realistic and ensemble-like sound, achieved by combining multiple
slightly detuned and stereo panned copies of neighbouring samples.
ARPEGGIATOR/GATE
The ARPEGGIATOR/GATE is turned on by pressing the ARP RUN button.
Activating GROUP (Shift + Menu) allows all Layers to share the same
settings.
There are three available modes for the Arpeggiator/Gate section on the
Nord Stage 4:
ARP (ARPEGGIATOR)
In Arp (Arpeggiator) mode, held notes are played back consecutively,
outlining the played chord.
POLY (POLYPHONIC ARPEGGIATOR)
In Poly (Polyphonic) mode, notes are played back repeatedly, together.
At larger Range settings inversions of the held chord are played in order
according to the Direction setting.
