Reworked from the ground up, the new vibrato and chorus captures the unique qualities of the original instruments, offering either the gentle character of a '50s B3 chorus scanner or the deep modulation of a '70s instrument.

The Bass Model section of the Nord Organ 3 provides matching bass models for all the organ types and includes a range of classic synth bass sounds, greatly expanding the sonic possibilities of the instrument. The bass can optionally be routed to a dedicated audio output, for separate treatment of organ and bass manuals on stage or in the studio.

With a brand new approach to recreating not only the classic rotary sound, but also the characteristics of both the amp and speakers, the Nord Organ 3 features an exceptional Rotary Speaker emulation with multiple microphone perspectives.

Choose from three distinct Drive types capturing the various aspects of Rotary Speaker overdrive with a great deal of nuance and variation.

Rotor speed and acceleration rates can be customized and the Sound menu offers a wide range of settings enabling even more detailed and nuanced sound shaping.

The Fixed Stop Angle feature allows fine tuning of the exact stop position of the rotary horn.

The Nord Organ 3 offers several microphone positioning options corresponding to popular ways of reproducing the classic rotary speaker sound, both on stage and in the studio. These variations in microphone placement affect both the perceived movement as well as the tonal character of the rotary speaker, ranging from punchy and present to smooth and open.

Close microphone placement gives a direct and detailed tone, while adding more distance slightly softens the treble and adds body. With microphones placed further apart, for example on the corner or even opposite sides of the cabinet, the sense of rotation becomes more apparent, creating a rich, immersive stereo image. In contrast, a tight microphone placement creates a highly focused sound with a narrower stereo field. In addition, the bass rotor has a wide setting for low end stereo effect.

The Reverb section features 6 different types including a brand new Spring Reverb as well as Booth, Room, Stage, Hall and Cathedral options.

The Pre-Rotary setting allows the reverb to be placed before the Rotary Speaker, like a reverb equipped organ connected to a Rotary Speaker. With Pre-Rotary turned off, the reverb is placed after the Rotary Speaker emulating a room or other ambient environment.

The Delay Effect includes a vintage-style Analog mode as well as three different feedback filters for creative shaping of the delay feedback tail. Optionally, the delay can be set to Upper Manual only.

The Modulation effects include classics such as Chorus, Phaser and Flanger - all modeled on legendary hardware units - as well as Ring Modulation for a variety of creative and experimental sounds and a versatile Tremolo effect. The Modulation effect can be assigned to the upper manual only, keeping the lower and pedal manuals clean.
