Press the L

EGATO

button to select Polyphonic Legato operation. The L

EGATO

LED lights up. Make sure

the M

ONO

LED(

) are off. In Poly Legato mode you can play complete chords just like in the standard

polyphonic mode. If you play a new chord before releasing the previously played chord (legato), the new

notes will replace the previous ones at the current Envelope phase of the first pressed key of the previous

chord. I.e. the new notes will not retrig the Envelopes (Amplifier and Filter).

Note that this is true only if the new chord has the same number of notes as the previous chord. If the

number of notes in the chords differs, this is what happens:

• If the new chord has more notes than the currently played chord, the last played note(s) in the new

chord will be played back normally and the other notes replace the old chord in Legato style.

• If the new chord has less notes than the currently played chord, the last played note(s) in the currently

played chord will continue to sound and the other notes will be replaced by the new chord in Legato.

If you release the last played chord before playing a new chord (non-legato), the new notes will sound

exactly like in normal polyphonic mode, i.e. the complete Envelopes for all notes will be retrigged.

Tip! The Polyphonic Legato function can also be used with the Glide function for polyphonic glide,

which is a unique feature of Nord Lead 3. See below.

A special feature of Nord Lead 3 is the possibility to use Polyphonic Legato together with the Glide func-

tion for polyphonic glide! Activate the Glide function by pressing the G

LIDE

button (it doesn’t matter if

Glide is set to ‘On’ or ‘Auto’, the effect will be the same in this case when you’re playing legato). Then

press the L

EGATO

button to select Polyphonic Legato operation.
