12 | NORD PIANO 3 USER MANUAL OS V1.X
DELAY
The Delay effect features controls
for adjusting the Dry/Wet signal
mix, a selection of four different
Feedback intensity levels and a
Tempo button.
TAP the TEMPO button repeatedly
to enter a tempo, which will show
up briefly as a BPM value on the
display. Alternatively, press-hold
the Tempo button and turn the
PROG/MENU dial to SET the tem-
po. The delay time can be set to
values between 20-750 ms.
When FEEDBACK is not active,
only the initial delay tap will sound.
When turned on, the lowest set-
ting gives you a small number of
repeats while the highest gives
you a very long feedback tail. Use
the DRY/WET mix control to find
the right balance between the un-
processed and processed signals.
EQUALIZER
The Nord Piano 3 features an effi-
cient 3-band Equalizer (“EQ”) with
fixed BASS and TREBLE bands,
plus a MID range section which is
sweepable using the FREQ knob.
The bass frequency is set to 100
Hz and the treble at 4 kHz. The
user adjustable mid frequency
range lies between 200 Hz to 8
kHz. Each band can be boosted
or attenuated by 15 dB.
The EQ can be applied to
both the Piano and Sample
Synth simultaneously, indicat-
ed by both LED’s being lit.
AMP/COMP
The Amp/Comp section contains
three different amplifier and cabi-
net models: SMALL, JC and TWIN,
modelled after classic and com-
monly used amplifier types.
There is also a DIST (tube distor-
tion) and a COMP (compressor)
effect. The Comp effect can be
used to either discretely decrease
the dynamic range of a sound,
making it easier to hear in a dense
mix, or to create more extreme
“pumping” effects at higher levels.
DRIVE/COMP controls the amount
of overdrive for the tube distortion
and amp models, or the compres-
sion amount when in COMP mode.
REVERB
The REVERB is a global room
simulator effect which processes
the summed signal of the Piano
and the Sample Synth sections,
including any other applied effects.
You can choose between ROOM,
STAGE and HALL reverb algo-
rithms, representing different room
types of varying reverb length and
density. Activating the BRIGHT
switch will give any reverb setting
a brighter character.
The DRY/WET mix control lets you
set the proportion between the
dry, unprocessed signal and the
effect signal.
