The B3 organ simulation in the NORD keyboards is quit good, but nowadays comparing with other VSTs, the sound could still be improved.
Therefore I would like to ask about your favorite B3 settings in the sound menu? (Organ click, trigger point, rotary speaker/speed….)
For example, my favorite B3 Organ VST, which I also own, is the B-3X from IK Multimedia, which sounds according my taste a little better than the NORD organ, especially the Leslie simulation.

Re: Favorite B3 Organ Sound Settings
Just have a look at this thread: nord-stage-forum-f3/evening-out-organ-volume-across-the-keyboard-t22723.html?
There may be even more useful posts somewhere.

Hi H l a a l o,
Your above statements and detailed description of the B3 sound settings in the NORD keyboards are excellent, there is hardly anything more to add !
Since there were hardly any replies to this posting, I assume that most NORD users do not use the functions described and fall back on the default setting, which is definitiv also good enough for most music applications.
Anyhow, THX for your excellent input !

Re: Favorite B3 Organ Sound Settings
Sorry - this NS3 thread is much more informative: post128707.html#p128707
I just remembered there was a discussion lately, but it wasn't this year. Interestingly, there are recommendations for 40/60 as for 60/40 concerning the bass/horn relation of the rotary effect. And does the NE6 have "Clean|Vintage" as a setting - for a more "used" sound?
Edit: No, the few answers here don't show lack of interest - it's just been discussed in length. And there was no new model to discuss it anew.

In the NE 6 there are 7 menus for the B3:
Tonehell Mode, Click Level, Trigger point, rotary speaker, rotary balance, rotary rotor and rotary horn
I couldn't find a clean/vintage setting in the NE6.
Referring to the Rotary Balance (bass/treble) horn setting, I also found that you can make very good fundamental changes to the B3 Organ.

The "Tonewheel Mode" of Sound menu is where the clean/vintage setting is.
2 - B3 ORGAN TONEWHEEL MODE
sets the level of tonewheel crosstalk and cable leakage artifacts of the B3 organ model.
Range: Clean, Vintage 1 (default), Vintage 2

Re: Favorite B3 Organ Sound Settings
Can anyone confirm that clean and vintage 1 are absolutely identical on the Nord Stage 3 and that vintage 2 offers a little too much crosstalk?
So actually vintage 1 would be the ideal setting if it wasn't a copy of clean ...

Not sure if they are identical (would need a spectrum analyzer to say that), but actually difference is hard to hear you are right, I use Vintage 1 setting just in case .
