One of the hardest parts to faithfully emulate is the chorus and vibrato
scanner of the B-3 organ. The original B-3 chorus and vibrato scanner
consists of a tapped delay line in combination with a rotating scanner. For
the Vibrato effect, phase is added and subtracted to the signal. For the
Chorus effect, the phase modulated signal is added to the original signal.
A lot of time and effort has been spent in trying to recreate the original
chorus and vibrato scanner. Like on the original, Nord Electro offers three
different types of choruses (C1-C3) and three different types of vibratos (V1-V3). Select one of these
types by pressing the
S
ELECTOR
button. You activate and deactivate the Vibrato section by pressing the
O
N
button.

In the Manual section you can choose to split the Nord Electro keyboard into
two sections, the Lower Manual and the Upper Manual. Each Manual can have
its own drawbar, percussion and chorus/vibrato settings. If you don’t use the
Split function you will only have access to the Upper Manual settings from the
internal keyboard.

button to divide the Nord electro keyboard into two sections, the Lower Manual and
Upper Manual sections. The split point on the keyboard is between the keys E4 and F4 (Nord Electro

triangle pointing between the keys.

Press the corresponding button to “highlight” the settings for the respective Manual. Each Manual can
have its own drawbar, chorus/vibrato (on/off) and Octave Shift settings. If you don’t use the Split func-
tion, or use an additional MIDI keyboard (see below), you will only be able to play the Upper Manual
from the internal keyboard. Note that the Percussion effect can only be used for the Upper Manual in
any situation.

As a special feature of Nord Electro
you can connect a second keyboard
via MIDI In to use as a Lower
Manual keyboard. This way you
can play the internal keyboard as
the Upper Manual and the addi-
tional MIDI keyboard as the Low-
er Manual. Since the organ has full
polyphony you’ll have 122 notes
polyphony when using an addi-
tional Lower Manual MIDI keyboard! Do like this to set up the Nord Electro for use with a second key-
board:
1. Connect the additional MIDI keyboard’s MIDI Out to the Nord Electro’s
MIDI I
N
.
