Accessing the Special Functions

1. Hold down SHIFT and press SPECIAL.

2. Press the Special button as many times is need to make the left digit in the display show the desired function (‘1’, ‘2’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘S’, ‘t’ and ‘E’).

3. Select the Slot (A to D) that you want to make settings for.

4. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to set values (the right digit).

The Special functions can be set up differently for each Slot and each Slot can use all and any of the Special functions at the same time, if desired.

Function “1” — Synchronizing LFO 1 to MIDI Clock

For this to work you need to feed a MIDI Clock signal from a sequencer or similar into the MIDI In of the Nord Lead 2X and activate Play in the sequencer so that MIDI Clock is actually transmitted.

The function synchronizes LFO1’s start to the incoming MIDI Clock so that the LFO starts over at certain intervals. Which interval to use is set with the parameter value:

Value	Description
1.oF	No external Sync
1. 1	Restart every other bar
1. 2	Restart every whole note
1. 3	Restart every half note
1. 4	Restart every quarter note
1. 5	Restart every eighth note
1. 6	Restart every eighth note triplet
1. 7	Restart every sixteenth note

Please note that this only makes the LFO restart at the specified note value. In between those restarts, the LFO runs at the rate set with the RATE knob. Therefore, to “hard sync” the LFO to the tempo of the song when triangle or sawtooth waves are used, set the LFO rate as close to the tempo in the sequencer as possible. On the other hand, unusual Rate values can lead to interesting rhythmic effects.

When random is selected (or when the Arpeggio is used, see below), to “hard sync”, you only need to make sure the set Rate is lower than the rate imposed via MIDI.
