No one but Nord knows what Nord will do. But are you saying that you don't like the NS3 organ as much as the NS2? Or did you not like either one of them?

I bought Nord stage 3 because I generally like the B3 simulation. I expect the same simulation as C2D, not a depleted version.

The stage is the best of 3 worlds. Synth, Hammond and Samples. If you're really into Hammond stuff you should buy the Nord C2D...

Turning the rotor/horn balance of the Leslie simulation to 60/40 and setting it to close micing made the difference for me.

I’m more than happy with it now.

I will check my settings, cause i think i didnt change that. I guess it is at 50/50

That sounds too shrill for my taste.

My opinion is thats there's no low end on NS3 hammond, even 60/40 or 70/30.
And the High Percussion is still crackling the sound!

I wonder if it´s just the the rotary effect?
I ran a sine wave through it and there seems to be a huge "hole" in the lower bass spectrum..
