The drawbars of Nord Electro 2 are represented by buttons and LED chain graphs instead of ordinary
mechanical drawbars. This gives you a big advantage: when you change presets or Programs, the correct
drawbar settings are recalled immediately and shown by the LEDs. In other words, no need for the regular
’trial and error’ method. It’s very easy to get the hang of changing the drawbar settings in a natural way
with the buttons.

have a history. Orig-
inally, the B-3 was created to
mimic a church organ. The num-
bers on the B-3’s drawbars re-
ferred to pipe sizes on a church organ. That’s why it, for example, says 16’, 5 1/3’ etc. It corresponds to
the church organ’s pipe length in foot. In the figure above you can see the pitch interval among the nine
drawbars. Note that the second drawbar from the left actually lies a 5th above the basic partial. However,
in most situations it’s perceived as sounding below the basic partial. When you play different notes on the
keyboard, the whole partial “package” is being transposed up or down with the fixed intervals.

In the figure above we have chosen C3 as our reference note. The 8’ drawbar
is considered the basic partial in the organ sound. The arrows point at the re-
spective note that each drawbar represents when C3 is our reference note.
