sounds from both panels. Panel a now contains the Synth/Piano split while the Panel B
Synth sound is layered on top.
the flashing panel led (a or B) indicates which panel is currently focused for editing on the pan-
el. Press the other Panel button to shift this focus to the other panel.

Set UP a SPlIt CroSS-Fade (SPlIt WIdtH)

as a final step, let's adjust the split point so that the split Synth and Piano sounds will transition
gradually between one another:
5
again, press and hold the SPLIT ON/SET button, located in the top row above the Program
area display.
6
Press the Program 4 button, corresponding to the 4 symbol in the display. the Split width
for each split point can now be adjusted.
7
Select the Mid split point and set it to "lrg" by turning the dial. let go of the SPLIT ON/SET
button.
Playing across the Split point now will "cross-fade" between the lower and the upper sound.
The Extern section can also be part of a split or layer scenario, e.g. if an external unit should
be controlled from just one zone on the keyboard. Note that the Split width setting will not
apply to the Extern section.
to turn off a panel combination, hold down the Panel button you wish to keep and then press the
other Panel button.

MorPHS

1
We will now morph the drawbars with the wheel, so start by making sure that the organ
section is turned On.
2
Make sure that the B3 model is active and "pull out" the first three drawbars on the left (Sub,
Sub3 and Fund) by pressing the corresponding lower drawbar buttons, or by actually pulling
the drawbars if using the Nord Stage 3 Compact model.
3
Press and hold the WHEEL button in the Morph assign group, above the Program area dial.
4
Pull out the four right-most drawbars all the way. the indicators will show single leds to
indicate how much the Morph will affect the parameter.
5
let go of the Morph WHEEL button. Play a few notes or chords, while moving the modulation
wheel.
as the wheel moves, the drawbars are pulled out and the sound changes accordingly.
One Morph source (Wheel, Control Pedal or Aftertouch) can control several parameters at
once.
A Morph source can increase one parameter's value while decreasing the value of another
at the same time. This makes it possible, for example, to crossfade between instruments.
read more about the Morph functionality on page 25.
the modulation wheel, a connected control pedal or the key-
board aftertouch can be used to alter one or several parame-
ters while playing. this is achieved by using morphs. In short,
this is done by selecting a a source (the physical controller) a
destination parameter and the parameter range included in the
morph.
