About Panela & B - Clavia Nord Stage User Manual

4. Getting Started: About Panel A & B
A P
BOUT ANEL
All instruments in Nord Stage are two part multitimbral. This means that each instrument section can
produce two sounds simultaneously, with completely independent settings. The key to this feature are
the two Panels; A and B.
The two P
ANEL
Each Panel controls three instrument sections and four Panel effects. Having two Panels with their
own settings not only allows you to alternate between two sound setups within a selected Program. It
also lets you have both Panels activated, giving you access to two simultaneous instruments in each
section, e.g. a Electric Piano and a Clavinet, two Synths etc. In dual panel mode you are basically
layering two full sets of the Nord Stage panel.
• You activate both panels by holding down one of the P
other.
• To exit "Dual Panel" mode, hold down one of the P
• To copy the settings from another Panel to the active Program/Panel, press and hold one of the
Panel buttons and turn the Value dial. The display will indicate which of the Panels in the entire
Program memory of the Stage that will be copied to the current Program/Panel. Don't forget to
save any new Panel combination that you have created using this method if you want to keep it.
A P
BOUT ANEL EDIT FOCUS
Both Panels activated. One of the
LEDs will blink to indicate which Panel is currently
has the edit focus.
If both Panels are activated, the settings on the front panel always reflects settings for one of the Pan-
els (A or B) at a time.
• Any tweaking of parameters will only affect the Panel that has "edit focus", which is indicated by
a blinking P
ANEL
• Pressing the other P
you to edit the settings.
• Each Panel contains independent settings for the Organ, separate instances of two instruments
(Piano and Synth), one Extern section, as well as four Panel effects (Effect 1/2, Delay and Amp-
Sim/EQ).
• Thus, within a single Program you can use up to six instruments, two external instruments and
eight independent effects.
