Nord’s legendary organ platform — reborn

Superb sound design, effects manipulation, and playability have remained at the forefront of Nord innovation since the conception of the company’s first combination organ. With that in mind, the Organ 3’s updated sound platform dutifully represents Nord’s attention to detail while adding even more opportunities for authentic and in-depth sound sculpting. Aside from revamping the prior sound engine, Nord’s Organ 3 is loaded with onboard Equalizer, Delay, and Reverb panels, each with a complex set of modes and parameter controls for dialing in any effect with pinpoint accuracy. Of course, the Organ 3 retains independent Vibrato and Chorus control over upper and lower manuals — a staple feature in the eyes of any discerning organ-focused keyboardist.

New panel design for intuitive sound navigation

Parallel to previous iterations, the Organ 3 commands respect within an updated, player-preferred panel design — one that players here at Sweetwater have already classified as a favorite. Along with per-program transpose functionality, both the Organ 3’s upper and lower manuals can easily be monitored and manipulated by way of onboard LED drawbar indicators, ensuring an immediate visual representation of your drawbar’s positions while maintaining efficient control in darker performance settings. An OLED screen is also onboard, making for effortless changes to programs, live sound settings, storage controls, transpose settings, and much more.

Revolutionary rotary speaker emulation

What is the Organ 3’s key to achieving a formidable, authentic organ tone? The instrument’s updated rotary speaker emulation panel, which offers a versatile set of controls to target any preferred output with precision. Three separate rotary emulations — Twin, Brit, and JC — offer manipulable speed control and three separate mic positions for utmost personalization over your final sound. Further, the Organ 3’s built-in amp sim includes a trio of additional drive types along with a quick-access Drive knob. This smartly designed functionality accommodates minute output adjustments while you’re busy recording or performing live onstage.
