jacks and the H

output.
The Rotor effect section is logically placed close to the organ section (as rotary speaker effects are most com-
monly used with organ sounds), but can be applied to any instrument section just like the other effects. See

IANO SECTION
The piano section in Nord Stage comprises various multi-sampled piano instruments. Nord Stage utilizes
advanced multi-level sample playback, catching every nuance from soft to hard key strokes. Nord Stage
comes right out of the box with ten classic piano instruments stored in Flash memory. The big advantage
with Flash memory is that you can replace instruments with new ones and that no backup battery is re-
quired. The Stage also sports a USB interface for quick and easy download of new piano sounds. See “The
Piano section” on page 27.
