Master level knob
This control sets the overall output level of 
the Electro 3, at the line and the headphone 
outputs . This is not a programmable control . 
If you want to program an output level for a 
particular program, this can be achieved with 
the Gain control .
Organ section
The Organ section in the Nord Electro 3 features emulations of three 
classic organ models; a Hammond B3 (B3 model), a Vox Continental II 
(Vx model) and a Farfisa Compact DeLuxe (Farf model) .
Organ Model button
You select which organ model to use, with 
the Organ Model button .
The B3 model
This model is a digital simulation of the classic mechanical tone wheel 
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 harmonic .
• 
Modeling of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-
• 
amplifier which forms the “body” of the sound .
Simulation of the energy robbing in the tone wheel architecture that 
• 
creates the typical “compressed” sound .
Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original design
• 
Extremely fast keyboard response .
• 
Full polyphony .
• 
Each drawbar represents a partial with a fixed harmonic interval relating 
to the played note . Note that the Sub3 drawbar is a 5th above the 
fundamental harmonic although, in most situations it is perceived as 
sounding below the fundamental harmonic .
Do not forget to try out the four tonewheel modes that are avail-
 
able in the Sound menu. These will dramatically change the sound 
of the B3 model from squeaky clean to a battered, old work horse.
The VX model
The original instrument is probably the most famous of all the tran-
sistor-based combo organs that emerged in the early 60’s . Transistor 
technology made it possible to manufacture much more compact and 
portable organ instruments . Compared to the mighty sound of tone-
wheel based organs, transistor organs generally sounded reedier and 
weaker, but this one had a distinctive, timeless sound and is recreated 
faithfully in the Nord Electro 3 .
The labels used for the VX model drawbars are printed on the row 
directly above the drawbar led’s . For basic drawbar operation, please 
refer to “The Drawbars” on page 13 . The drawbars on the Electro 3’s 
VX emulation control the level of each available partial, in the same 
fashion as on a dual manual original Continental . The upper manual 
uses the 16, 8, 4, II and III registers and the lower manual uses the 8, 
4, 2 and IV registers . Each register represents a fixed harmonic interval, 
or groups of intervals (the II, III and IV) in a relationship to the played 
note .
The two rightmost drawbars control the sum of all partials in the form 
of a filtered, soft and dark sounding signal (the sine icon), and an un-
filtered signal with a bright and intense sound (the triangular icon) . 
If these drawbars are both fully set to the lowest level, the organ 
 
M
will produce no sound.
The Farf model
This typical “buzzy” sound of this vintage instrument is one of the most 
distinct and easily recognizable organ sounds ever created, yet it is ac-
tually possible to get quite a wide range of sounds out of the instrument . 
The labels used for the Farf model drawbars are printed on the upper 
row above the drawbars . The drawbars act as on/off switches, or 
“Register selectors” when the Farf model is selected .
