Effect 1
Effect .1 .offers .three .different .types .of .effects: . .
Tremolo, .Auto-Panning, .and .2 .types .of .Wah-Wah .
The .tremolo .and .the .auto-panning .have .3 .selectable .depths . .Pan1 .is .
less .dramatic .than .Pan2, .and .Pan .3 .(both .Pan .LEDs .lit) .is .the .most .
dramatic .
Tremolo .is .a .volume .modulation .that .continuously .varies .the .output .
signal .volume . .Tremolo .is .a .commonly .used .modulation, .especially .for .
Wurlitzer .electric .pianos . .The .Tremolo .effect .is .stereo .in/stereo .out .
The .Pan .is .an .automatic .panning .modulation .that .smoothly .moves .the .
signal .between .the .left .and .right .outputs .in .the .stereo .panorama . .The .
Pan .effect .is .stereo .in/stereo .out .
The .A-Wa .is .a .wah-effect .where .a .lowpass .filter .sweeps .across .the .
frequency .range, .and .is .controlled .by .the .volume .of .the .signal . .This .
means .that .you .can .use .the .velocity .on .the .keyboard .to .control .the .
amount .of ."Quack!" .in .the .sound . .The .Rate .knob .sets .the .frequency .
range .of .the .sweep .
A-Wa1 .has .a .nice, .mellow .sound . .A-Wa2 .reacts .a .bit .faster .and .gives .
you .a .brighter, .more .distinct .character .
The .Wah .effects .are .mono .in/mono .out .
Effect 2
Effect .2 .offers .three .types .of .modulation .effects: .
Phaser, .Flanger .and .Chorus .
Each .of .these .effects .has .3 .selectable .depths .in .the .same .fashion .as .
the .tremolo .and .pan .in .the .Effects .1 .section . .The .Rate .knob .control .the .
rate .of .the .effect .
The .flanger .produces .a .characteristic .comb .filter .effect . .The .Flanger .
effect .is .mono .in/mono .out .
The .phaser .effect .produces .a .characteristic ."sweep" .effect .commonly .
used .with .electric .piano .sounds . .The .phaser .effect .is .mono .in/mono .
out .
The .Chorus .effect .simulates .having .several .slightly .de-tuned .signals . .
The .chorus .effect .is .stereo .in/stereo .out .
Equalizer
The .Nord .Piano .has .a .3-band .EQ .with .treble, .bass .and .a .sweep-able .
midrange .(4 .kHz, .100 .Hz .and .200 .Hz .~ .8 .kHz) . .The .frequencies .can .be .
boosted/attenuated .with .+/- .15 .dB . .The .EQ .is .stereo .in, .stereo .out .
Amp/Comp
This .section .contains .the .speaker/amp .emulations .and .a .compressor . .
Small, .JC .and .Twin .emulates .three .different .kinds .of .amplifier .and .
speaker .cabinets . .The .amount .of .drive .is .controlled .by .the .Speaker/
Comp .knob . .The .Ampsim .effect .is .mono .in/mono .out .
Comp .is .a .compressor .that .will .even .out .the .dynamics .of .what .you .
play, .making .low .level .sounds .louder .and .high .level .sounds .lower .in .
volume . .This .produces .a .tight, .punchy .sound .and .makes .the .overall .
level .easier .to .control .in .a .live .mix .situation . .The .compressor .is .stereo .
in/stereo .out .
When .this .effect .is .active, .the .Drive/Comp .knob .controls .the .amount .of .
compression .applied .
Reverb
The .Reverb .section .simulates .the .natural .sound .reflections .in .various .
acoustic .environments . .You .can .choose .between .six .reverb .types .with .
various .lengths .and .densities, .indicated .by .the .LEDs .in .the .selector . .
The .Stage ."1" .is .a .softer .version, .the .Stage ."2" .is .a .brighter .version, .
etc . . .The .reverb .effect .is .stereo .in/stereo .out .
The .Dry/Wet .knob .sets .the .balance .between .the .unprocessed .and .the .
processed .signal .
