Hey there fellow clavia heads.

I was playing around with me NR2 the other night and my mind was thinkin about pelle mode but cant remember the "code" to get into it... searched and searched but cant find it anymore... so is there some one out there that can remember what to do

First you have to enter Pelle’s year of birth: 1965. Set Slot A to Program 19 and Slot B to Program 65. Only the numbers will do, so never mind if memory location 19 is holding another Program than the factory preset. Than press and hold the Portamento Auto button, after which you press and hold the Shift button (what else). Holding both press the Velocity/Morph button and release it again. Still holding the two first knobs press the Performance button and you will hear a click, which means the Pelle mode is active.

What is "Pelle mode"?
What is it good for?
On which Nords can it be found?

Only on the NordLead(1) and the Nordlead2; NOT on the NordLead2X, NordLead3 and NordLead4.
It is an not-documentated mode which produces Physical Modeling and is only developed in an experimental state.
It can't be saved, although it can be send using SysEx. It is a part of the Manual mode.
It has been lost for over 15 years, but was found agian.

The page in which I describe the 'hidden synth' is momentairy not active on the net, but will be restored very soon...

This was originally a post about the Pelle mode working on the NR2X, but it doesn't, as Wout said. If you do this sequence on a Nord Rack 2X, you access the Manual mode.
