Stands for Ring Modulation and is a type of modulation where two signals are mul-
tiplied with each other. The result is an inharmonic “bell like” sound. Herbie Han-
cock used this effect a lot in the ‘70s. In the Nord Electro 2 the Piano or Organ signal
is multiplied with an additional sinewave.
Set the sinewave pitch with the R
ATE
knob and the amount of ring modulation with the A
MOUNT
knob.

The Pan is an auto panning modulation that smoothly pans the signal between the Left and Right out-
puts.
You can control the rate and amount of panning with the R
ATE
and A
MOUNT
knobs.

Tremolo modulation is basically an automatic volume control that continuously varies the output signal
volume. Tremolo is a commonly used modulation, especially on the Wurlitzer electric pianos.
Use the R
ATE
and A
MOUNT
knobs to control the Tremolo rate and depth. Note that the output volume
is at maximum level at zero A
MOUNT
setting.

The Wah-Wah modulation is often used for electric guitars to get that characteristic “talking guitar”
sound. Wah-Wah can also be extremely useful on electric piano sounds. Try out the Clavinet sound with
With the
R
ATE
knob you set the basic
pitch of the additional sinewave.
With the A
MOUNT
knob you control
the level of ring modulation.
The filled curve indicates maximum
A
MOUNT
value and the
dashed curves indicate lower
A
MOUNT
values. The signal smoothly
pans between the Left and Right outputs as indicated in the figure.
The filled curve indicates maximum
A
MOUNT
value and the dashed
curves indicate lower
A
MOUNT
values. At zero
A
MOUNT
value the
output level is constantly at maximum level (the straight dashed line).
