The drawbars of Nord Stage EX
behave similar to their mechani-
cal counterparts, i.e. you “pull
out” the drawbars by pressing
the L
OWER DRAWBAR buttons
and “push them back in” by
pressing the U
PPER DRAWBAR
buttons. The D
RAWBAR buttons
are special in the way that they
auto-increment/decrement the
drawbar value when held. I.e. if
you hold a D
RAWBAR button the
corresponding drawbar value
will continue to increment or
decrement (within its range) un-
til you release the button. Each
drawbar represents a harmonic
(sometimes called a partial). In
the figure you can see the pitch
interval among the nine draw-
bars. Note that the SUB3 draw-
bar actually lies a 5th above the
fundamental harmonic. Howev-
er, in most situations it is perceived as sounding below the basic harmonic. When you play different
notes on the keyboard, the harmonics are being transposed up or down with the fixed harmonic inter-
vals.
P
ERCUSSION
In the original B3 the Percussion effect is generated by a single en-
velope generator that controls either the 2nd or 3rd harmonic. The
envelope “opens up” for a short moment in the beginning of the
sound when you press the key(s).
• You activate and deactivate the Percussion effect by pressing the
O
N button.
• The Percussion effect can be set to control either the 2nd (H
ARMONIC 3RD button LED Off) or 3rd
harmonic.
SUB SUB3 FUND 2ND 3RD 4TH 5TH 6TH 8TH
In the illustration above we have chosen C3 as our reference note. The
FUND drawbar is considered the basic (fundamental) harmonic in the
organ sound. The arrows point at the respective note that each drawbar
represents when C3 is our reference note.
