The Effect 1 section offers six different types of modulation. Use the S
to switch between the available modulation effects. The following effects are available:
RM (R
ING MODULATION
Ring Modulation is a type of modulation where two signals are multiplied with each
other. The result is an inharmonic "bell like" sound. Herbie Hancock used this effect a
lot in the '70s. In the Nord Stage EX the instrument signal is multiplied with an addi-
tional sinewave.
When RM is selected you set the sinewave pitch with the R
amount of ring modulation with the A
T (T
REM REMOLO
Tremolo is basically volume modulation that continuously varies the output signal volume. Tremolo
is a commonly used modulation, especially for Wurlitzer electric pianos.
The Tremelo effect is stereo in/out.

The A-Pan is an auto panning modulation that smoothly pans the signal between the Left and Right
outputs.
You control the rate and amount of panning with the R

TATIC AN CONTROL OF AN
Sometimes you may want absolute manual control of over the panning of an instrument. This can be
done with the A-Pan effect as follows:
• Enable Effect 1 for the instrument you want to pan, and select the A-Pan effect type.

sound. Wah-Wah can also be extremely useful on electric piano sounds. Try out the Clavinet sound
