ABOUT SETTING MORPH PARAMETER RANGES
In the previous example we controlled the full range of two Instrument L
EVEL
knobs with Morph. But
you can also set relative ranges for parameters. For example, you could assign one parameter to be control-
led fully (min/max), and another parameter knob to be controlled from 12 o’clock position to 3 o’clock po-
sition. This would mean that the first parameter would vary between the min and max values whereas the
second parameter would vary between 12 o’clock position to 3 o’clock within the Morph assigned control-
ler’s full range.
When you press and hold down one of the buttons in the Morph Assign section to assign Morphing, the
initial position of a parameter determines the first value, and the position you move the parameter to de-
termines the second value. Using the Wheel as an example, this means that when you move the Wheel
fully forward the parameter will move from the first value to end up on the second value.
CLEARING MORPH ASSIGNMENTS
To clear Morph Assignments, press S
HIFT
and the corresponding button in the Morph Assign section that
stores the assignments that you wish to clear.
To remove an individual parameter, hold down the M
ORPH ASSIGN button that the parameter is assigned
to. The current range will be shown by the rotary encoder LEDs for the parameter. Move the rotary encoder
until both LEDs go off to erase the Morph assignment.
ABOUT AFTERTOUCH
We have previously used the Wheel as an example controller, but you can also use Aftertouch to Morph
control parameters.
The Nord Stage keyboard can respond in two ways to how you play. The first is velocity (not applicable for
organ sounds or Morph), which means that the faster the player presses a key down, the higher the velocity
value. Once a key is played and held down, there is also 'Aftertouch' (sometimes called channel pressure).
The player can apply more pressure on a key while it is down; and this will generate a signal that can be
used to control parameters.
