I would like a straight forward explanation of how to connect a Neo Vent 2 to the Stage 3 and what settings will have to be changed.
Thank you to whoever will explain this to me.

Route the organ to one of the additional outputs (3 or 4), run a cable from that output into the Vent. You can then go out of the Vent into another channel of your amp or mixer, or going into the monitor in of the Nord should also work.

You also have to set the REMOTE parameter of the Vent 2 to Switch2 (potentiometer position to 9 o’clock) if you want to use a half moon switch with the Vent 2

I route output 3 to my Vent II (mono in, stereo out). From Vent II to my mixer in stereo (2 channels, each panned hard left and right). I rest the Vent II on my lower board so I can reach the dials. On the floor, the Vent II remote for fast/slow and stop/start.

You will need to do some simple menu diving to route your organ. "Tube" drive is best achieved using the "drive" knob in the effect section, not the Vent II. You will have no reverb for your organ this way, sorry. Remember to bypass the Vent II if you're playing a non-B3 organ sound, e.g. Farf, Pipe, etc.

Best of luck.

I also route the organ to output 3 and into a Ventilator. On the stage 3 this will definitey allow for reverb on the organ, but as I am travelling just now I will not be able to check how I acomplished this until Sunday.

Thank you, gentlemen. I will start to do as suggested and will post if I have further questions. All comments are welcome. Thank you.

If you're getting reverb on the organ routed to channel 3, please do share. I've tried and tried, and have been unsuccessful so far.

I have just checked how I made this and must admit that it is doable, but with some heavy restrictions. What i have done is to use the system setting to route panel A main to output 3, while I route panel B to output 1-2. This can be set on a per program basis. I use the stage 3 Compact on top of 88 key controller, I play organ (panel A) on the NS3C on
top and piano etc on the lower controller (panel B). In this way a have panel A reverb on the organ. I alternate between a Leslie 3300 or a Vent connected to output 3.

OK this morning I tried to connect the Vent 2 to my stage 3. I went into settings and routed organ to output 3. I connected a line from 3 out on the nord to the input on the neo. I ran two lines from neo to my Yamaha MG06x mixer only. Disconnected all other cables and am getting nothing. What am I missing here?

Have you disabled the internal leslie simulation of the stage 3? The organ sound will not be routed to output 3 but stay on output 1/2 if the internal leslie is switched on, no matter what you have routed in the system settings.
