The basic behavior when using Polyphonic Legato with Glide is very similar to regular Polyphonic Lega-

to. If you play a new chord before releasing the first played chord (legato), the old notes will glide parallel

to the new notes at the set Glide rate. 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 (Am-

plifier and Filter). Note that this is true only if the new chord has the same number of notes as the pre-

vious 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 with Legato and Glide.

• 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 with Legato

and Glide.

Tip!

When using Polyphonic Legato with Glide, it’s very useful to also use the KB Hold function described

on page 114. This way you don’t need to play legato but can release the keys after you play the chords.

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

like in normal polyphonic mode, with complete Envelopes, but with unpredictable Glide effect.

The adjustable stereo Unison function is another unique feature of Nord Lead 3. When you activate Uni-

son, you get 5 simultaneous voices per note: 2 in the left channel, 2 in the right channel and one in the

center. The Unison is always in stereo for even greater effect. This opens up for extremely rich and fat

sounds. The Unison of Nord Lead 3 doesn’t reduce the polyphony!

Press the U

NISON

button to activate the stereo Unison function. Adjust the detune amount among the

voices with the D

ETUNE

knob.
