The figure above shows the Percussion en-
velope in SOFT mode.
Like on the original B3, the Percussion is a single-triggered non-legato effect. By "single-triggered"
we mean that the percussion is only present when you hit the keys when no other note is sounding.
In other words, if you play a note or a chord and then add on more notes without releasing the previ-
ously pressed keys, there will be no percussion effect in the new notes. You have to release all keys
to be able to play new notes with the percussion effect. Also, like on the original B3, in Normal Per-
cussion mode the sustain level is significantly lower than in Soft Percussion mode (or with the Per-
cussion effect disabled).

IBRATO
The original B3 chorus and vibrato scanner consists of a modulated delay line in
combination with a rotating scanner. For the Vibrato effect, phase shift is applied
to the signal. For the Chorus effect, the phase modulated signal is added to the
original signal. A lot of time and effort have been spent in accurately recreating
the chorus and vibrato scanner effect. Like on the original B3, Nord Stage EX
offers three different types of choruses (C1-C3) and three different types of vi-
bratos (V1-V3). Select one of these types by pressing the S

EY CLICK CONTROL
On an original B3 organ, the key click produced by the random contact bounces was originally an
unintended audio artifact. This particular artifact later became a desirable effect amongst musicians.
In the Nord Stage EX you can select the amount of key click that should be present in the B3 organ
sounds.
