M Only the B3 Swell Preset 1 can save the percussion settings.
E Changes that you make to a preset needs to be stored with the
program or they will be lost when you select a new program. Read
more on how to store a program on page 9.
Drwb A and Drwb B buttons
Beneath the preset buttons are the drawbar A & B buttons . These are
also duplicated on the main panel, next to the 9th drawbars for the
Swell manual and the 1st drawbars for the Great manual . When these
are in focus, the physical positions of the drawbars on the panel will
determine the sound of the C2D .
Preset Focus in Programs
The Presets and their settings, that are in focus on the C2D when you
store a program, will be recalled as being in focus when this program
is selected .
Selecting The Organ Model
You select which model to use with the
Organ Model button . Only one model
can be used at a time .
The Pedal registers
When the B3 model is activated the
Pedal Drawbars control the B3 bass registers .
When the B3 model is activated you can activate the Synth Bass
model by pressing Shift + Organ Model button .
When the VX or Farf models is activated, the Pedal Drawbars control
the synth bass model .
When the Pipe model is activated, the Pedal Drawbars control the pipe
organ bass stops .
The B3 Model
This model is based on a digital simulation of the classic mechani-
cal tonewheel organ . This simulation utilizes innovative and advanced
methods to capture every nuance of the original sound, for example:
• An extremely accurate digital model of the original chorus and vibrato
scanner .
• Modeling of the individual random contact bounces for each har-
monic .
• Modeling of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-
amplifier, which forms the “body” of the sound .
• Simulation of the energy robbing on the tone wheels that results in
the typical “compressed” sound .
• Authentic tuning of the tonewheels according to the original design .
• Extremely fast keyboard response .
• Full polyphony .
The Drawbars
The harmonic intervals for the tonewheel organ are printed on the panel
below the drawbars .
Each drawbar represents a partial with a fixed harmonic interval in
relationship with the played note .
The illustration below shows the pitch interval among the nine drawbars
when the key of C3 is played . Note that the SUB3 drawbar actually lies
a 5th above the fundamental harmonic . However, in most situations it is
perceived as sounding below the fundamental .
Percussion
The Percussion effect adds
extra attack to the sound
by having a single envelope
generator controlling either
the 2nd or 3rd harmonic .
The envelope “opens up” for a short moment in the beginning of the
sound when you press the key(s) . The percussion is a single-triggered
non-legato effect . By “single-triggered” we mean that the percussion
is only present when you hit the keys when no other note is sounding .
In other words, if you play a note or a chord and then add more notes
without releasing the previously pressed keys, there will be no percus-
sion effect in the new notes . You have to release all keys to be able to
play new notes with the percussion effect .
The percussion effect is available when the Swell Drawbar B (Perc) is in
focus (or saved in Preset 1, that is in focus) .
The Soft button toggles between Normal and Soft percussion level .
The Fast button toggles between Slow and Fast decay times .
The Third button toggles between using the 2nd or 3rd partial as the
source for the percussion effect . The percussion decay time can be
fine-tuned for Fast and Slow mode individually . Please refer to “The
Sound Menu” on page 20 for details .
M With the original instrument, you could not use the percussion ef-
fect and 9th Drawbar simultaneously. However with the Nord C2D
you have a choice. You can use the percussion and 9th drawbar
together or chose to mimic the original organ behavior by turning
off the 9th Drawbar whenever the percussion is activated. Read
more about the B3 Perc DB9 Mute setting in the Sound menu on
page 21.
