Panel overview

The Front Panel

the front panel on the Nord Wave has three main areas,
which are identified by their background color. We'll famil-
iarize ourselves briefly with the panel here and describe
the functions in detail in the following chapters.
Program & Performance area
the Program and Performance area starts at the mASter
volume in the top left panel corner, and then sweeps
down right towards the keyboard.
the parameters and functions in this area are used to select
programs, to set global and MIdI functions and to add
expression to your performance with the Pitch Stick and
the mod Wheel. this is also where you find the two Slot
buttons, which you use to activate one or both of the Nord
Wave synth engines.
We'll describe the functions in this area in greater detail,
starting at page 16.

Synth area

the synth area is where all the action happens. Every vital,
sound generating function in the Nord Wave has a dedi-
cated knob or button, and they are all there for you to go
ahead and get crazy, to design the sound as you wish.
Each program in the Nord Wave contains two individual
synth engines. Both are controlled through the same panel,
one at a time. You choose which section to control by
pressing the Slot A or Slot B button.
We'll describe the functions in this area in greater detail,
starting at page 19.

Effect area

the Effect area contains the param-
eters used for editing the program
specific effect parameters. the
functions here are common for both
slots. Please refer to page 32 for more
information.
