MODULATIONS
The Modulations section offers six different types of modulation. You activate and de-
activate the Modulations section by pressing the O
N button.
R
INGMOD
Stands for Ring Modulation and is a type of modulation where two signals are multi-
plied with each other. The result is an inharmonic “bell like” sound. Herbie Hancock
used this effect a lot in the ‘70s. In the Nord Electro 2 the Piano or Organ signal is
multiplied with an additional sinewave.
Set the sinewave pitch with the R
ATE knob and the amount of ring modulation with the AMOUNT knob.
P
AN
The Pan is an auto panning modulation that smoothly pans the signal between the Left and Right outputs.
You can control the rate and amount of panning with the RATE and AMOUNT knobs.
With the RATE knob you set the basic
pitch of the additional sinewave.
With the AMOUNT knob you control the
level of ring modulation.
The filled curve indicates maximum AMOUNT value and the dashed
curves indicate lower AMOUNT values. The signal smoothly pans be-
tween the Left and Right outputs as indicated in the figure.
