The special Live buf-
fers can be described
as a "live program
memory". If you acti-
vate the Live button, all
changes to the panel
settings you make will
be continuously saved.
If you switch the power off, or select another program, the settings
are still stored in a Live memory, so when you power up next time (or
return to a Live memory) all settings will be exactly as they were when
you left them. The dot that appears when a Program is changed is not
applicable when a Live buffers is active
If a Live memory is selected and you decide you wish to store the
settings permanently as a program you can do so using the stan-
dard methods (see above). You can also store programs into the Live
memory location, in which case the program settings will replace the
current Live memory settings.
Select a program and play some notes on the keyboard while
you....
... turn on the Delay (the On LED should be lit) and then press
repeatedly on the Feedback selector.
The feedback options are indicated with the selector LEDs and chang-
es in a cyclical fashion for each time the selector is pressed. When both
LEDs are lit you have the maximum amount of feedback.
Turn the Amount and the Tempo knobs while playing.
This changes the amount and the time between the repeats.
Turn on the Reverb with its On button.
Hold Shift and press repeatedly on the
reverb selector.
This allows you to reverse through the reverb
selections.
Holding Shift while pressing any selector
(except the Organ Model) will cycle through
the selections in a counter clockwise fashion.
Turn off the effect.
If you now continue to press on the effect selector after the effect is
turned off, the effect setting will change even though the effect is not
active.
This method can be used to select a certain effect setting while
playing, without affecting the sound until you actually activate the
effect.
Press the Speaker Model button to activate the Amp emulation.
The Speaker Model LED will be lit.
Press repeatedly on the selector to cycle through the various options.
The Drive knob at the upper right of the panel controls the drive
for the amps and the rotary simulator. Make sure that Drive is On,
and then turn the knob to get the desired amount of overdrive.
The rotary effect adds some great sonic drama to the sound. The Nord
C2 rotary has three available speeds: fast, slow and stop. Stop does
not disengage the effect; it only stops the rotating speakers
Make sure that the Speaker Model is activated and select the
Rotary by pressing the effect selector.
The drive knob now controls the overdrive of the rotary amplifier.
Press the Slow/Stop and Fast buttons in
the Rotary Speed section to the left on the
panel, to cycle between the Fast and Slow
speeds of the rotary.
The rotors will speed up and slow down, producing
a nice swirly effect.
Press the Stop mode button to activate this one-speed mode.
The Stop Mode LED will be lit.
Press repeatedly on the Slow/Stop button to cycle between
Fast and Stop.
The rotary will now emulate the functionality of an early, one speed
original rotary speaker that had only the fast and the stopped rotary
speed options.
If you connect a foot switch to the rotor pedal input, you can
control the rotary speed with this pedal.
The Speaker Models cannot be used when the Pipe organ
selected.
Press repeatedly on the Organ Model selector to cycle through
the four types - the B3, Vox, Farfisa emulations and the sampled
Pipe organ.
The settings for the organ sounds are made
using the digital drawbars. The Farfisa and the
PIpe organ uses these in a switch mode, with
only two settings for each.
Make a setting with the drawbars and then press one of the
Drawbar/Preset buttons
Make a new preset setting, in order to be able to quickly change
from one to the other during a performance.
