Modulation Wheel; Arpeggio Run; Arpeggio Rate; Arpeggio Mst Clk - Clavia Nord Lead A1 User Manual

Modulation Wheel

The Modulation Wheel can add vibrato if the Vibrato Voice Mode set-
ting is set to "Wheel" and/or act as a Morph Control, to control one
or several parameters while you perform. The Modulation Wheel will
transmit MIDI CC 01.
Arpeggiator
Use the arpeggiator to au-
tomatically play a repeated
sequence of notes based on
notes or chords you play on the
keyboard.

Arpeggio Run

Starts and stops the arpeggiator.

Arpeggio Rate

The tempo of the eight note arpeggio is set by the Rate knob, with a
range from 16 BPM to "F5", which is "very fast".

Arpeggio Mst Clk

Hold Shift and turn Rate to lock the arpeggiator to the Master Clock.
Rate will then be used to select the time divisions.
Arpeggiator Divisions
Division
2, 4, 8, 16, 32 The straight divisions range from 1/2 notes to 1/32
notes.
2t, 4t, 8t, 16t The t indicates the triplet divisions.

If notes would ever sustain indefinitely during a performance, press
Shift and Panic. This will execute an internal All Notes Off command,
and reset incoming MIDI CC messages.
Voice Mode
Unison
Unison stacks de-tuned voices "on top of each
other," in the same fashion as on the classic
analog polyphonic synthesizers. Unison will po-
sition voices left and right with various strengths
in the stereo panorama.
• Unison 1 is two slightly detuned and panned
voices.
• Unison 2 is four slightly detuned and panned
voices.
• Unison 3 is four voices with a stronger detuning and panning.

Mono
Mono makes the Slot monophonic, only one note at a time will be
heard. The envelopes will be re-triggered for each new note you play.
Legato
Legato is another monophonic mode. The envelopes will not be re-
triggered if you play legato, they will continue in their present phase.
Legato is when you play a key without releasing a previously
played key.
Glide
Glide can be used to set the time interval for the pitch to glide from one
note to a new note, when Mono or Legato is active. With a setting of
zero the pitch will change instantly.
M If Legato is active, Glide will only occur if you play legato.
Multi Focus
Multi Focus allows you to change settings simultaneously on all the
active Slots. Press Multi Focus and the active Slot's LEDs will flash.
Any parameter change you make on the panel will affect all the Slots.
Active Multi Focus can be stored in a performance. Press a Slot but-
ton to exit.

Bend Range

Bend Ranges can be different for each program and can be set to a
maximum of +/- 48 semitones. There are also two settings with dif-
ferent ranges for the upward and downward bend.
Press Shift + Bend Range repeatedly. The first press will display the
current setting, each consecutive press will increase the bend range
one step at a time.
Hold Bend Range and turn the Program Dial to scroll through the
available settings.
Bend Range
Off Pitch Bend is disabled.
1 - 12, 24, 48 Pitch Bend range in semitones.
-12, -24 Pitch Bend range is 2 semitones for upward bends, and
12 or 24 semitones for downward bends.
Vibrato
The Dly1 and Dly2 settings add a delayed vibrato,
the delay time being 0.5 and 1.0 seconds. The
vibrato rate and the depth of the delayed vibrato is
set in the Sound Menu.
When Wheel is selected, the depth of the vibrato is
controlled by the Modulation Wheel and incoming
MIDI CC 01.

for all parameters if you want to begin programming a sound from
