I had an Electro 4D, and the Hammond was really good! Now on the Stage, i cant get the same sound :S Help?
Thank you Jo Osantos1,
I expererience the same thing here. I am frustrated and disappointed about the reproduction of the organ in the NS3.
I also meant to update my instrument, and now, on some details (which already were fuctioning on the older instruments) it is quite a downgrade in (organ)sound
I am also an NE4 user and liked the organ very much. On the NS3 am am noticing (so far) the following issues, which I would like very much to be improved/altered/just to have it back :
The overall sound of the NS3 B3 is somehow wooly/squishy/indistinct/softer to me, as a difference to the NE4.
The NE4 had more presence/realism or 'egde/bite' as the organ sound, due to my ears and feel.
The vintage modes are now much weaker! Hardly noticeable.
The percussion section sounds different and weaker to me.
I have no understanding about, why the NS3 organ had to be kind of 'reinvented', because everything was already there and sounded good and realistic. This is a very truely meant question!
Something in the chorus/vibrato section is different, which kills the impression of 'realism' of the NE4.
The NE4 sounded 'old' e.g. with V2 and V3. With the NS3 it sounds indistinct.
I also have the impression that the EQ (which I am still trying to use to 'improve' the organ sound) feels weaker and 'edgeless' compared to the NE4.
Still waiting for the separate organ routing to function as supposed to. But I believ NORD is working on that.
I' d really please NORD to 'just' pack in the NE4 organ completely and as it was.
Again, have no technical clue, why this had to be altered and it feels a bit like invention from scratch.
Please, guys at NORD, fix this.
You've built a great instrument. Don't leave it poorer than it could be, as you've already proven to us musicians with former instruments.
Best regards,
Frank
