The Organ in the Nord Electro is based on a digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-
3 organ. It offers innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound, for example:
• Full polyphony (61 or 73 notes from the internal keyboard and up to 146 notes when using an addi-
tional “Lower Manual” MIDI keyboard)
• A complex digital model of the original chorus and vibrato scanner
• Modeling of the individual random contact bounces for each partial
• Modeling of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-amplifier which forms the ”body”
of the B-3 sound
• Simulation of the energy stealth on the tone wheels that results in the typical ”compressed” sound
• Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original B3 design
• Fast keyboard response
The Organ section comprises a number of sub groups which include all the functions found on the orig-
inal B-3 organ, such as Percussion and Chorus/Vibrato.
