A1: multiple effects enabled at once?

Postby mnmlst » 29 Nov 2015, 21:02

I tried to find the answer in the manual, but it wasn't explicitly stated. Can you enable multiple effects at once? (Ring mod + drive, for instance) or is it only one at a time?

Thanks!

The separate panel sections (Delay, FX, Reverb) can be enabled simultaneously. Within the FX section specifically, you can enable only one choice (Ring, Phase, Flange, Chorus, Ensemble, Drive) at a time. Do note that a separate Drive is available within the Filter section.

Kinda frustrating when you know that the power is already under the bonnet to power four slots. The Ensemble + Phaser would be a good combination.

Set up two slots with ensemble, one with HP filter and one with LP filter and then use a synchronised LFO sweep them both at the same time. Use multifocus to edit your slots as one sound.

It may be that there is no one on the planet who knows the A1 better than Kroffe...

Seriously. That's a great tip.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the slot architecture on the Nord gear is amazing. I don't know why other manufacturers don't follow suit and develop this kind of real-time multi-timbrality.

I'm finding Nord to be unique in so many ways -- really glad I finally connected with a specific Lead model and made the jump into the red synth club.
