Nord User Forum

Hey guys!

Just discovered this forum. It's great! In the first hour I've discovered more things than I would if I read the manual for five hours straight.

Anyways, I've got a Nord Electro 3 and I've been trying to replicate an organ sound from the Swedish song "När vi två blir en" (Spotify | YouTube). I've been doing this with the Farfisa organ, even though I've read somewhere they're using a Vox. But the problem I'm having is that the sound level of the Farfisa organ is waaaay lower than e.g. my piano. I could have the level meter set to quarter to 12 and the piano at maximum and it still doesn't come up to the same level. I've got a Korg EXP2 plugged in, pushed to the bottom, but that should make any difference, right?
I'm not sure about the drawbar settings at the moment but I could check it out.

Any beginners tips I might be doing wrong? What settings do you guys need to know to help me out? Or should I go for the Vox and which settings should I be using if so?

Thanks in advance!

Try using the headphones out.

Hello lither,
Welcome to the forum!
There are several interactive adjustments which affect to overall volume of the Nord organ output.
Equalizer.
Speaker/ Comp.
Gain.
The drawbar setting also could be the culprit.
I believe the sound that you're looking for can best be achieved using the Vox model instead of the Farfisa.

Here's my attempt at it:

• Vox_patch_demo.mp3

If you would upload your patch, I'll have a listen and see what setting is reducing the volume.
