This setting is used to adjust the tuning of Oscillator 2, relative to Oscillator 1. The setting is in semitone
steps. The range is from 5 octaves below Oscillator 1, to 5 octaves above Oscillator 1. However, the full
range may not be available, depending on the Oct Shift setting (see
steps. The range is from 5 octaves below Oscillator 1, to 5 octaves above Oscillator 1. However, the full
range may not be available, depending on the Oct Shift setting (see
). To aid you in setting the
value, the LED above the knob lights up when the tuning is in perfect octaves.

rameter operates within one semitone. If you set the two oscillators to equal volume (see Mix below),
make sure Sync and Ring Mod is turned off, set the Oscillator 2 Semitones value to ‘0’ and turn the F

When this parameter is activated, Oscillator 2 will have different pitches when you play different keys,
just as Oscillator 1 always does. When this parameters is turned off, Oscillator 2 will always play the same
pitch. There are mainly three situations when this is useful:
just as Oscillator 1 always does. When this parameters is turned off, Oscillator 2 will always play the same
pitch. There are mainly three situations when this is useful:
• When Sync is activated (in this mode, the basic pitch of the sound is determined by Oscillator 1 any-
way).
• When FM or Ring Modulation are used, to get inharmonic sounds with very varying timbre across the
keyboard.
• For special effects and percussion sounds, which are supposed to sound the same all across the key-
board.

This is classic “deep linear FM”. The FM function is a bit of depart from the “analog” concept of the
Nord Lead 2X, but as you will find, it is a very useful addition. When using FM, Oscillator 2 frequency
modulates Oscillator 1. In FM speak, Oscillator 1 is the Carrier and Oscillator 2 is the Modulator. This
