OSC GROUP
OSCILLATOR ARCHITECTURE
A lot of effort has been spent on creating a versatile and powerful oscillator section for the Nord Stage
Synth. Based on a variable architecture, it provides three different synthesis techniques: Analog, FM
(frequency modulation) and Digital wavetables. For each category there is a number of predefined
algorithms with the main parameters mapped to the T
IMBRE knob.
For example, the Analog category provides one or two oscillators with various waveforms, with or
without hard sync. In each case, the T
IMBRE knob controls one essential parameter, such as pulse
width, relative pitch or sync oscillator frequency. This Timbre parameter can then be modulated by
velocity or the Modulation Envelope to create dynamic sounds.
The sonic potential is further enhanced by the fact that the oscillator section actually contains a
number of extra oscillators for each voice, which are brought in by the U
NISON knob in he Voices
section (see page 46). You can in fact have up to nine oscillators per voice, without losing polyphony.
This allows for some really thick sounds!
T
IMBRE
The central TIMBRE control is used to shape the sound in various ways (depending on waveform and
algorithm, see below). Timbre can be Morph controlled, allowing wheel, aftertouch or pedal control
over the sound. For some algorithms, the T
IMBRE knob is disabled.
T
IMBRE CONTROL
This knob governs the amount of modulation applied to the Timbre parameter. The Timbre parameter
can be modulated by Velocity or the Mod Envelope, indicated by the E
NV MOD LED below the knob.
V
ELOCITY
If the ENV MOD LED is dark, Timbre will be modulated by velocity. If you turn the TIMBRE CON-
TROL knob clockwise, the Timbre parameter will be raised if you play harder.
M
OD ENV
If you press SHIFT and turn the TIMBRE CONTROL knob so that the MOD ENV LED lights up, the
Timbre parameter will instead be modulated by the Mod Envelope (see page 41).
W
AVE SELECTOR BUTTONS
The two WAVE selector buttons are used to switch between the different algorithms and categories
in the osc group. Hold S
HIFT and press the WAVE buttons up or down to choose a category (Analog/
FM/Digital). The LED indicators show which category is activated. Press the W
AVE buttons up or
down (without S
HIFT) to switch between the different algorithms or waveforms within the selected
category.
