orGaN
the organ model faithfully reproduces the tonal characteristics of both tone wheel and transistor
organs, with a vibrant Principal Pipe organ simulation added to complete the sonic palette. alter-
ing the sound within the organ section is primarily done through the use of
DRAWBARS , whose
settings are stored together with your Program.
PrEsEt 1 aNd 2
For each Program the organ model can hold two different drawbar settings in its memory, graph-
ically visible in the display, selected by pressing
PRESET 1 or PRESET 2 respectively. additionally,
vibrato/chorus and Percussion can be turned on or off with each Preset.
drWB lIvE aNd drWB sYNc
the DRWB LIVE option can be used if you would like a particular Program to always use the actu-
al positions of the drawbars. the DRWB SYNC command is used for instantly applying the current
drawbar postitions to the active organ preset.
M These options are only present on and relevant to the Nord Electro 5D models.
B3
tone wheel organs use notched steel disks -
TONE WHEELS
- to produce sine waves, generated
as a wheel rotates at its designated speed close to a corresponding electromagnetical pick-up.
the generated tone, whose pitch depends on the number of notches of that particular disk, is
then transformed and amplified, either through the use of a built-in speaker system or through
an external cabinet depending on the organ model. the details of this construction and all other
aspects of the original design - including its imperfections - are very closely simulated by the B3
model of the Nord Electro 5.
the nine drawbars of the Nord Electro 5 correspond to the available registers on the original B3
model. these are in turn named according to the approximate pipe lengths emulated by its tone
wheels. these ”pipe lengths”,
16’ – 1’ are printed at the bottom of the drawbar section. the 8’
drawbar is sometimes referred to as the fundamental , being the root of the overtone series that
form the basis for the drawbar selections and the B3 sound.
the vibrato and chorus effects of the B3 model use a simulation of the original rotating scanner
based design. Both effects have three intensities to choose from, v1-v3 and c1-c3 respectively.
