When Auto is activated (LED is lit), the pitch only slides if you play legato, that is if you play a new key
before releasing the previous one.
The effect of Auto Portamento is pretty obvious when you have selected Mono or Legato "Play mode".
If, on the other hand, Poly is selected, the Portamento effect will be slightly unpredictable if Auto is on.
For Poly mode, we therefore recommend you to turn Auto off.

This mode will automatically be selected each time you turn on the Nord Lead 2X. In this mode, the
Octave Shift buttons affect the Program in the selected slot only. Notes sent to MIDI Out are not trans-
posed. This means that in this mode, the Nord Lead 2X can only send MIDI Notes over a range of 4
octaves.

In this mode (LEDs inverted), the actual keyboard is affected by the Octave Shift buttons. This means
that all active slots are affected, as well as all notes sent to MIDI Out. This mode is suitable if you want
to control other MIDI instruments from the Nord Lead 2X, since it lets you control a note range of eight
octaves. It is also the mode to use if you're playing a Performance consisting of two or more slots, and
want to be able to Shift all slots simultaneously.
Note: Low/high octave settings in combination with extreme Tune settings for Oscillator 2 may pro-
duce pitches outside the hearing range.
buttons have two functions, Slot and Keyboard Octave Shift (explained below). To
