Rack 2X Module

Rack 2X Module Specifications:

• Polyphony: 20 voices. 4 part multi-timbral
• Special features:
• Velocity programming: Each function that is controlled by a knob, can be programmed to be controlled by velocity
• Morphing: Each function that is controlled by a knob can also be controlled by the modulation wheel/pedal to continuously fade between 2 sets of values
• Performance controllers
• 4-octave velocity sensitive keyboard
• Octave Shift buttons (+/-2 oct.)
• Keyboard Split, 2 sections
• Wooden Pitch Stick, designed to change the pitch continuously without any dead spots. It gives you complete control of the pitch and allows you to make true and natural vibrato. The Effect increases exponentially as you move it further from the center. Patent pending for the "Pitch Stick."
• Modulation Wheel for modulating a number of selectable destinations
• Looks great, feels great, works great
• 1 pedal input for sustain and 1 for expression pedal
• User interface
• 3 digit LED display, 26 knobs, and 27 buttons for program editing
• Oscillator section:
• Oscillator 1 generating sine, triangle, sawtooth or pulse wave (with adjustable width). Oscillator 2 generating triangle, sawtooth or pulse (with adjustable width) and can also generate noise with a color control. Osc 2 can be hard synched to Osc 1. Linear deep frequency modulation of Osc 1 from Osc 2. A wide range of new waveforms with a strong formant character is achieved with the synchable noise, where noise can be synched to Osc. 1.
• Filter section:
• 12dB "2 pole" lowpass, 24dB "4 pole" lowpass, bandpass or highpass, Notch + Lowpass. Cut off, resonance, envelope amount, envelope amount controlled by velocity
• ADSR envelope
• Filter keyboard tracking can be set to full, 2/3, 1/3 or off
• Filter distortion
• Amplifier section
• ADSR envelope, gain control
• Modulation section:
• Lfo 1 generating triangle, saw, pulse, LF filtered noise and random staircase routed to Osc 1+2, Osc 2, filter, pulse-width and FM amount. Lfo 2 produces a triangle waveform, routed to Osc 1 and 2 or amplifier and controls the rate for the arpeggiator
• Arpeggiator: Range: 1 - 4 octave
• Modes: up, down, up/down, random. Echo can be set between 1 and 8 repeats. Modulation envelope (attack, decay) for Osc 2 pitch, FM amount and pulse width
• Performance section:
• Play mode: Poly, legato, mono, unison mono, unison poly
• Manual mode 4 program slots for layering possibilities
• Portamento/Auto portamento
• Percussion kits:
• 40 user "analog" percussion kits. Each percussion kit holds 8 independent sounds, configured in 8 zones across the keyboard
• Internal memory:
• Programs (single sounds): 990 (396 (4 x 99) user, 594 (6 x 99) factory)
• Performances (multi sounds): 400 (100 user, 300 (3 x 100) factory)
• Percussion kits (multi zone sounds): 40 (4 x 10) user
• Audio Out
• 4 outputs
• Each slot can have its own output
• Modes: Stereo, mono and multitimbral mode
• Headphones output
• High resolution, low noise 24-bit DACs running at 96kHz
• MIDI features
• All control knobs and switches for program editing transmit and receive Control Change messages. System exclusive bulk dumps
• One Program/Performance or all Programs/Performances in a bank
• MIDI clock synchronizing LFO 1 and LFO 2/arpeggiator restart
• Triggering of the filter and amplifier envelopes and velocity control from separate programmable MIDI channel and note numbers
• Fully patch compatible with Nord Lead 2/Nord Rack 2
• Dimensions: 34-1/8"W x 10-1/4"D x 3-1/2"H
• Weight 12 lbs.
