Setting split points to change Zone ranges

Adjust the splits for zone 2 and 3 in the following way:

•Hold Shift and press the Set Lo Split button repeatedly. The green

split indicator above the keyboard move between the available splits.

There are splits at C and F in each octave.

•The same procedure is used but with Set Hi Split button, to set the

splits for zone 3.

 When using two zones, the split is set with the Set Lo Split button.

M Keyboard Zone splits are shared between Slot A and B.

Layering instruments

When two or three instruments are assigned the same keyboard zones,

they’re layered, they play at the same time. Combinations of layers and

splits are possible. A piano can be assigned on its own to the Upper

Zone, and “continue” and be layered with an organ up in the Hi Zone.

Another way to layer instruments is to activate both Slots simultane-

ously.

Octave Shift

You can use the Octave Shift buttons to shift the pitch up or down in

octaves, within the instrument’s note range.

Note Range

Each instrument in the Nord Stage 2 has a ﬁnite note range:

•The Organ extends one octave below and one octave above an 88

note keyboard range.

•The Piano extends one octave below the 88 key range, but not

above.

•The Synth extends one octave in either direction, just like the Organ.

An instrument cannot be transposed so that non-existing notes would

end up in the current Keyboard Zone. When an instrument is used over

the whole keyboard, you can only transpose a maximum of one octave

up or down.

When you are using splits, if a piano is assigned to a zone with a range

of 2 octaves, the Octave Shift buttons can be used to transpose the

piano up or down. As long as the 2 octave range are within the

available 9 octaves. The whole note range of any instrument, within any

set Zone range, is always accessible.

In the illustration above, a piano has been assigned to play in a KB

Zone stretching from middle C4 to C6. Without Octave Shift, the actual

note range that will be played will be the same as the set zone. The

dotted lines show which note range will be played in the set zone when

using Octave Shift. In this example you can transpose the piano up

or down two octaves to play any two octave note range from the KB

zone.

PStick & SustPed

These settings are used to control whether

or not an instrument (or the Extern section)

should respond to a connected Sustain

Pedal and/or to the Pitch Stick.

Hold Shift and press the left Octave button

in the corresponding instrument section,

to activate the sustain pedal for an instru-

ment. The Sustped LED is lit when this is

turned on. Press again to activate Pitch Stick reception and a third time

to have both functionalities. A fourth press will turn them both off, as

indicated by the LEDs.

M The bend range is ﬁxed to -/+ 2 semitones

 In most of the factory programs, the organ has neither sustain,

nor pitch stick activated, the piano has sustain but not pitch stick

active and the synth has usually both activated. But there may be

exceptions to this. Change this as you like, do not forget to store

any changes that you wish to keep.

Latch Ped & KB Gate

The Latch Pedal feature allows you to latch arpeggios in the synth,

sustain chords or individual notes on selected instruments by operating

a pedal, without affecting other instruments or the functionality of the

sustain pedal. The Latch is activated for the individual instruments by

holding Shift and pressing the right Octave (Latch Ped) button; the On

LED lights up. This behaves like the sostenuto functionality on a grand

piano; only the keys that are pressed down when the pedal is activated

will sustain.

If you use a Nord Triple Pedal, the center pedal on that unit will be the

designated latch pedal. A standard sustain pedal connected to the Ro-

tor/Latch input can also be used. If you use the Rotor/Latch input, you

need to change a setting in the System Menu, read more about this on

“Rotor/Latch Pedal Func” on page 42.

The KBGATE feature allows you to disable an instrument from being

triggered by the keyboard, for as long as the latch pedal is operated.

 Both these features can be used simultaneously when both LEDs

are lit.

Output Routing

The Nord Stage 2 has four audio outputs. Each instrument can be

freely assigned to output 1&2 (default) or 3&4 in stereo, or to output

3 or 4 in mono. The output routings can be set for each program, or

globally for all programs. The Global setting is the default setting. In

global mode, the routing settings stored with the program are overrid-

den by the global settings. See the System Menu chapter on page 42 for

more information about the output routings.

Dual Slot setups

Press both Slot A and Slot B buttons. Both Slot LEDs light up, and

both Slots become active. One of the Slots is in focus, its panel

settings are currently shown and can be edited. The Slot in focus is

indicated by a ﬂashing Slot LED. Press the other Slot’s button to shift

the focus.

To disable one of the slots, hold the Slot button for the slot you want to

keep active, and press brieﬂy the Slot button you want to disable.
