>There is a menu option that allows the turning on or off of this feature in those older Electro. But Nord did not include the feature in the latest NE6.<

Yeah, it's three years later and they haven't "fixed" it with an OS release. I too found it peculiar and can only assume that their new coding can't accommodate it.

Apparently Clavia has no intention of doing anything about it.

Agreed. They said it was a simple thing to do, but they are simply not going to do it.

I too tried asking, this is the reply I got this morning:

Thanks for getting in touch! As you point out: The 9th drawbar cancellation feature is something we have on certain products, and have had on Electro’s in the past. And it seems you received some info around this previously as well, so I won’t go into detail about “why” it’s not there on the Electro 6. But in any case: Your input is duly noted, for consideration, here. As always it’s not possible to say if/when it could happen though.

Let us know if there is anything else, and we’re glad that you otherwise seem happy with your Electro 6!


As always, they didn't rule the possibility altogether, so I still hope a final Electro 6 update will finally restore this feature. Honestly, Clavia should learn a thing or two from companies like Behringer which are much more proactive and open to user feedback: considering it's a pretty easy feature to implement, their mulishness' somewhat suspicious (that is, they could be planning to restore all of the Electro 5 settings on the Electro 7, along with an updated Leslie, C/V and percussion emulation).

You can turn on or off this feature in system settings on NE5D.

Yes indeed. And that's the point! Why was it removed from the NE6! It is a simple fix as it is just a firmware update. It is not dependent on different hardware - it's just a software modification.

It is indeed a software capability, as indicated in my March 2019 entry in this thread. They simply choose not to do it.

I wonder if we make an orchestrated effort to bombard them if it will any impact. It is, to me, the single most frustrating thing about the Electro 6, and otherwise great instrument.

;) Maybe sending "feedback" on Clavia's website with link to this particular thread to point it out

I believe it's a great idea, and the only chance we've got. I already wrote them a couple weeks ago, and so have many of you: we need that all of the Electro 6 owners on this forum write Clavia complaining about it, even those who already did so a year or two ago (since you need a serial number, otherwise they won't probably bother replying). If we get annoying enough, they might finally please us: it's basically the poor man's lobbying! Also, while we're at it, we should ask them to restore the other missing organ option too, that is the percussion volume setting, available on the Electro 5 and any other competitor's clonewheels.

I really do not think that is a good idea. It will most likely put Johannes in a difficult position.
Nord already said that they are aware of that request and they even replied to some users who already posted here the reply.
