IBRATO
The F-Type Model has two basic vibrato modes; “Light” and “Heavy”, with different rates for each
mode. Slow/Fast rate for the Light mode is set with the V1/V2 Selectors and C 1/C2 sets the rate for
Heavy mode. Note that the F-Type vibrato is common for both Panels if a dual manual organ is used.
S
WELL
CONTROL
Swell is the characteristic volume function that you control from an organs pedal. Swell is not only a
volume control - for the B3 it also changes the character of the sound in a special way. To use Swell
control on the Nord Stage EX, simply plug in a standard expression pedal to the
O
RGAN
S
WELL
input
on the rear panel (see
“Connecting pedals” on page 11
) and configure the pedal on the System Menu
(see
page 66
).
A expression pedal connected to the
O
RGAN
S
WELL
input will control Swell for all organ models.
If you have only one expression pedal, it can be used both as a generic Control Pedal and a Swell
Pedal. See
“Control Pedal Use as Swell” on page 67

PEAKER
The Rotor section (rotary speaker simulation) is logically placed next to the Organ section, but you
can also use it for Piano or Synth sounds, just like the other effects. The Rotor effect is described on
page 55

PRESET
I & II
For each Organ Model, and separately for Panel A & B, you can store two organ Presets within a sin-
gle Program. This is a quick way of changing between two sound variations, without having to
change Programs.
You change between Presets I & II by pressing the
P
RESET
II
button. The drawbar settings and the
Vibrato/Percussion (on/off) settings are stored in a Preset.

Both Panel A and B are active. In this mode the keyboard is split to play a “Lower” and an “Upper”

the split point is set at middle C.
