Hello all. On my Nord Electro 3 I found out that I have the capability of splitting the outputs so that I can send the organ to one, and piano's to the other. This is great and it really excites me that I'll be able to send those signals seperately, but it has lead me to a question. When running the organ in stereo, and using the leslie sim, I get the awesome panning motion with my in ear monitors, and I know going to a single output would prevent that from happening. So my question is this:

With the unbalanced outputs of the Electro 3, would it be possible to connect a cable to the output that is a single 1/4" on one end, and a dual 1/4" inch on the other so that I can plug both ends into their own direct boxes and run the organ stereo still? And while doing that, I would want to do that with the piano side as well.

Has anybody done this? Is this possible? If not, what is the next best thing to it?

Balanced vs unbalanced doesn't matter, the signal from that jack is mono, and putting a splitter on it is not going to give you stereo. However, you can turn the Nord's rotary effect off and send that mono organ signal to an external rotary effect pedal (like a Neo Ventilator, but you could also look at something lower priced like the Electro Harmonix Lester K) and thereby get your stereo rotary effect back... in fact, you'll probably actually find it an improvement over the rotary effect already in the E3.
