OTOR SECTION
The Rotor effect (rotary speaker simulation) in Nord Stage EX accurately repro-
duces the sound of the rotating horn and bass rotor, as well as the characteristics
of the built-in amplifier of the original Leslie units. The Rotor effect is mono in/
Stereo out.
• You activate or deactivate the Rotor effect for a selected instrument in the same
way as Panel Effects (see
• You switch between fast and slow rotor speeds by pressing the S
• To stop the rotors, press the S
Speaker simulation - it only stops the rotors). When you press the S
again the rotors will accelerate to the Slow Speed setting.
• The Rotor acceleration rate, i.e. the time it takes to go from slow to fast and
vice versa, can be adjusted on the Sound menu, see
The D
knob controls the amount of overdrive. This simulates the pre-amp
RIVE
overdrive effect of the original Leslies.
By plugging in a sustain pedal or a foot switch to the R
you can control the Rotor speed, see

BOUT THE
The Rotor effect is internally placed after the panel effects in Nord Stage EX. It also "sums" signals
if both Panel A and B are active. This means that if you are using a split organ setup for example,
both "manuals" will be affected by the Rotor (just like on the real thing).
Note also that the Rotor Drive parameter is dependent on the processed instrument's Level setting. If
the instrument being processed by the Rotor uses a very low level setting, the amount of available
drive will be significantly reduced. Again, this is very much like it works with the "real articles" -
when you increase the organ level, e.g. by using a swell pedal, the amount of distortion from the Rotor
effect increases.
