NORD MODULAR G2 V1.4x
Select Voice Mode (Poly, Mono or Legato) with the Button below the Knob. In Legato mode, the
Envelope modules do not retrigger when you play in a legato fashion, i.e. when you play a new key before
releasing the previous key.
A
RPEGGIATOR
Select Period (note length/sync division rate) for the Arpeggiator in relation to the Master Clock rate with
the Knob. Run/Stop the Arpeggiator with the Button below the Knob. Note that the Master Clock has to be
active for the Arpeggiator to run. Select Direction with the right Knob and Range with the Button below the
Knob. If you want the Arpeggiator to continue when you release the keys, use the KB Hold function
described on "KB Hold/Panic" on page
The Arpeggiator uses
means that if you record the chords that control an arpeggio in an external sequencer, it will always play
back the pattern exactly the same way it played while recording the chord - even if you start the sequencer
in the middle of the sequence.
V
IBRATO
This is a separate vibrato which affects all Oscillator modules in the Patch set to Keyboard Tracking. Set
the Vibrato amount, in cents of a semitone, with the Knob and select control source (Aftertouch,
Modwheel or Off) with the Button below the Knob. Set the Vibrato rate in the System menu described
on "Vibrato Rate |Pa" on page
G
LIDE
The Glide or portamento function is mainly intended for use in mono or legato Voice Mode (see above). The
glide characteristics can be described as "constant rate". "Constant rate" means that the greater the
"distance" between two subsequent notes, the longer the glide time. Turn the Knob to adjust the glide
rate and press the Button to select glide mode. 'Normal' means the glide is always active and 'Auto' that
glide is active only when you play legato (you press a new key before you release the previous key). Range:
19 milliseconds per octave to 6.27 seconds per octave.
Note that if you use Glide in polyphonic mode, the glide will be unpredictable and perceived as more or less
random. This is because the glide is between voices rather than between keys. The glide will therefore be
from the available voices' latest note values to the new notes rather than from the previously pressed
keys.
B
END
Set the Pitch bend range, in semitones, with the Knob. The pitch bend will affect all Oscillator modules
in the Patch set to Keyboard Tracking when you bend the P
function with the Button below the Knob.
