Just received a Nord C2D combo organ.
Great sound, my Hammond A100 and Leslie 145 in the background.
Is the organ using the in built Rotary Effect or through my Leslie 145?

I am VERY impressed with this 'clonewheel' from Nord. I've compared note for note with my Hammond A-100 and it's virtually identical, including leakage and crosstalk harmonics. The percussion is spot on once changed to long decay, and the key click to soft. For amp sim I use the close mic 122 with a 40/60 Bass-Horn balance.

11 pin output to the Leslie 145, the sound is just the same, except physically moving air. Be sure to turn OFF the Rotary sim as to not 'double up' the effects!
Using the TrekII 1147 connector kit, at this stage there's no STOP function for the leslie (as there is with my A-100 and Nord Rotary effect) so if you listen carefully, you'd hear that this recording is indeed, the Nord Leslie simulation!

Amplified through HK Audio Nano 300 stereo pair (two subs and two tweeter stacks on each) the tone is identical to my Leslie 145.

Just a quick improv recording using a RODE Stereo video mic in the middle of the room, behind me to the left (out of sight) straight to Macbook Pro Quicktime video movie.

At 16kg compared to 130kg of my real chopped (portable-ized) A-100, this is going to be a real pleasure to take to gigs.

Nice playing! Great sound, what were you playing it through? I am going to guess the internal simulation.

Yes indeed, your playing is very rhythmic and groovy - I like it

It must be the internal simulation. On my C2 (v2.0) I am also using the close mic 122 with a 40/60 Bass-Horn balance - and to my ears it sounds identically.
Especially via stereo monitor boxes resp. on recordings the sound is overwhelming!

I wish you a lot of fun with your C2D.

Nice playing!!

Sometimes when viewing videos like yours I am tempted at getting a C2D!!

Thanks Gustavo.... If you have a C2, get the update for the same OS.

I prefer the layout of the CD2 over the C2, drawbars aside, it's just more logical.

It sounds great. Before I read I thought it was through the 145!!

Really liked your youtube video. You make the in built rotary sim sound effective.
As I play easy listening and lounge music I tend to use fast rotary without vibrato chorus more often like theatre
organ. I feel that for me, as I don,t have the room for a real leslie, the neo ventilator is much more realistic than
the Nord,s built in sim.

Wow. Sounds great. Totally slammin'!!!
