EFFECT SECTION Each of Nord Lead 4's four slots has its own dedicated effects section: FX and Delay/Reverb. Drive The overdrive is modelled after a vintage tube amp. Make your lead sound a little “furry” or crank it up for a truly authentic overdrive that distorts increasingly the more signal you shove through it. Talk The Talk effect creates a voice-like talk-box effect, with two different simulations of a vocal tract. Compressor The compressor effect offers Threshold adjustment and can also be modulated to obtain side-chain effects and more. Crush The Crush effect lets you reduce the sound’s sample rate radically. Give your bass line a subtle lo-fi touch or pulverize it into crackling, digital star dust. Comb filter The Comb filter effect can create chorus-like effects when controlled from an LFO or static spectral changes
in your sound. The Crush, Talk, Comb filter, Compressor and Drive effects can all be manipulated with the Morphs and Impulse Morph performance controls as well as with the LFO or the Modulation Envelope.
