Re: Newbie can't get organ split working on Electro 3
That's OK, but somehow I can't change the splitpoint. It's like the split is fixed on a very low key or not set at all. I can only play the upper voice when in split-mode. When I hold down shift+preset/split, the split-led flashes. If I while holding the buttons down press a key to set a splitpoint, nothing happens. Should there be any kind of receipt/confirmation that a new split-point is set?

Re: Newbie can't get organ split working on Electro 3
The manual says:
Press the Shift and the Split button to divide the Nord Electro 3 keyboard into
two sections, the Lower Manual and Upper Manual sections By default, the split point on the keyboard is between the keys B3 and C4 You can, however, also set the split point manually by holding Shift + pressing Split, the split LED starts to Flash, then while still holding the buttons press the desired key A set split point is saved as part of the parameters in a program
so the sequence is the one you are doing, once you release the Shift+Split (after having pressed the split point key), the split should be properly set (don't expect any "confirmation", just release the 2 buttons when done), then you have to save it in the current Program (or another Program).
PS: as Pablo suggested, when trying also "Set lower and upper drawbars to radically different settings so that you can clearly hear the differences"

Re: Newbie can't get organ split working on Electro 3
*SOLVED*
Hey folks - I know this is an old thread, and, by now, the fix might have been found, but I've had the same issue for a long time and just stumbled across the answer. So, at risk of repeating what might be old news - in order to enable the organ preset/split function using just the NE3 board, you first need to make sure that the MIDI setting for split keyboards (SHIFT + MIDI scroll to #6) is turned OFF. If it's on, it disables the split organ feature and split point settings. Once the MIDI setting is corrected, follow the original split/preset directions and enjoy.

In the MIDI Setup, if the MIDI SPLIT MODE is set to ON, the keyboard understands that the LOWER part will be in another SLAVE keyboard, connected via MIDI cable to the NE3.
Thanks so much for that tip, that was driving me crazy.
