Turn the M
ODULATION
A
MOUNT
knob to change the amount of modulation selected with the M
ODE
knob. See the paragraphs below for information of what the Modulation parameter does in the different
Modes. Note that the amount of Oscillator Modulation can be controlled from the Mod Env and the
two LFOs, and also manually from a Morph group.

Press the M
ODE
knob to select one of six different Oscillator Modulation types:
DM

DM
DM
DM stands for Distortion Modulation and is another special feature of Nord Lead 3. With this type of
modulation you can create really unique and extremely “raw” sounds. DM is basically a combination of
Amplitude/Ring Modulation and Distortion. The diagram below shows the principles of DM.

In the DM configuration the M
ODULATION
knob controls the pitch of the modulating signal and not,
as in other modulation types, the amount of modulation. You change the pitch of the modulating signal
in semitone steps rather than “continuously”. This makes it a lot easier to find useful modulation frequen-
cies. The pitch of the modulating signal also fully tracks the keyboard. Be sure to check out the DM fea-
ture of Nord Lead 3. You’ll be able to create sounds unlike any you’ve ever heard before!

The mixed signal from Oscillator 1 and 2 is rout-
ed to one input of a multiplier. A modulation sig-
nal, generated by a third “hidden” oscillator, is
routed to the other input of the multiplier. You
control the pitch of the third oscillator with the
