Doubts about buying nord stage 3

Nice sound on Gimme Some Lovin'. Hint: When playing it, on that last major chord, hit the minor first, and quickly slide that finger to the major.

Thanks, never noticed that before! I used to play it in "E" and so I just transposed it to F for the MP3 - much easier to slide playing it in the original key.

Have you considered the Nord C2D? DP songs are 90% organ and 10% synth, so a decent, double manual organ like the C2D together with a cheaper synth for the rest would be a good choice IMO.
I also play rock music and have an Electro 4 for the organ and electric piano parts together with a Nord Wave for the rest, I'm very pleased with the combination.
P.S. Uriah Heep's keyboardist Phil Lanzon uses a C2D as a main board in their live shows.

I see Phil Lanzon with C2d and it sounded great!
C2d is a excellent instrument but for me the convenience of a single instrument is very important. for this I am oriented towards a phase 3 in the north (I have a phase 2 in the north). Moreover the stage gives me the possibility to play also other musical genres. Thanks

Thanks also to you, LewTheKeysGuy! I see that the comments are much more enthusiastic than some time ago, fantastic!

Here's an example of the Stage 3 Hammond with close setting on Leslie and overdrive. Take care

Really a great sound!!! Thanks!

Very nice. What are the drawbar settings?

Thanks, the settings left to right are 8 8 8 6 0 0 0 0 0. Here's the program with drawbars on the MW too for some flexibility.

I imagine that the distance of the microphones is set to "close". This is a good feature that is not available in nord stage 2

Correct, the Stage 2 does not have that Leslie setting or the Hammond modeling similar to the C2D. On the Stage 2 there is a way to morph the Leslie speed and tremolo effect to the Mod Wheel so that the volume of the Leslie "pulses" a little more as if getting closer to a microphone, but the Stage 3 effect is still much better and more flexible (no MW needed).

yes, I know that mw function.
But the proximity of the microphone I think should also affect saturation, in order to make it more aggressive. It's correct?
Thanks

As the effect on the Stage 3 is emulating close placement of the microphones on a Leslie rotor and horn you might get more of the doppler effect besides simply the effect of the Hammond sound being louder and brighter when the rotor/horn opening is closest to the microphone like you'd get with the tremolo effect mentioned. Here's an example of the Stage 2 set up with the Leslie and tremolo speeds being controlled by the modulation wheel - listen to it with headphones if you can. A little more information about it is at nord-stage-2-programs-ns2p-ns2pb-files- ... tml#p48819

Another thank you for you
