For each Program you can set a Play Mode (Poly, Mono, Legato). The exact nature of these modes is
described on page 59.
To make a sound fatter, you can activate Unison. This reduces polyphony. See page 60 for details.

If you are using more than one output, or headphones, you might want to know something about how
the sounds get positioned in the stereo image.
The answer is that this depends on the Out Mode settings as described on page 64. When shipped from
factory, the Nord Lead 2X is set to output all Programs in mono. There’s one exception: If a Program is
set to Unison, the instrument is automatically switched to stereo operation.
Use the

Press this button to turn Unison
on and off. The LED above the

activated.
