Nord Stage 3 - Organ, Rotary Speaker and the Compressor

Post by NorfolkPaul »

On my NS3 Compact I've noticed when the Rotary Speaker is on, the Compresssor effect has....no effect. This is just with the Organ section. The Compressor works for Pianos and Synth if the Rotary speaker is assigned to those. I still have my NS2 Compact for comparison, where the Compressor does work with the Rotary Speaker ON for the Organ section. Does anyone know if this is expected (intended by design, or a bug) for the NS3? I can't see any mention of this in the manual. Are there improvements in the Rotary Speaker since the NS2 which mean the Compressor is no longer required?

I haven't tested this -- not sure exactly how tp easily reproduce the problem with an A/B type of works/not works?

But the NS3 rotary is a different emulation (and you can change the type between 122 and 122 Close), and it is placed differently in the output chain wrt the reverb than on previous models -- as far as I know.

Is it possible that compression is already being utilized by the Leslie sim (and therefore unavailable)?
