Oh wow - that's likely one of the new products released at NAMM, very unexpected since it looked as if Nord does not focus on plain organs anymore.

Oh wow!
DEFINITELY unexpected! Clavia keeps surprising everybody, just when we were giving for granted an Electro7!
A new organ was well overdue, I think we had almost given up hope!
It looks like it's a whole new organ engine, or at least a heavily reworked version with new C/V and Leslie sim. Also, they mention many times the triple sensor keybed like it's an important point, but in theory it shouldn't make any difference for organ...unless they developed their own version of multi-contact emulation, like Hammond and Viscount have been doing in the last few years. That would be another huge upgrade, hopefully we'll know more in a few days when NAMM starts.

Reverb can be pre or post Leslie - finally!

I wonder if the organ engine will be a software upgrade for the NS4!

I wonder if the organ engine will be a software upgrade for the NS4!

That would be amazing!

I never saw that coming.

Was hoping Nord would have had the sense to add other sounds to their new organ. Could they not have added electric piano, acoustic piano, and ensemble voices even in a limited capacity? That's what Hammond did with the SKX pro, except the sound categories aren't limited, and it's awesome. I have a Nord C2 and an SKX pro and those other sounds in the latter really come in handy. And the cost is exactly the same as this new organ from Nord. There are several good dual manual b3 clones available now with really good Leslie sims on board. Hard to get too excited about this new one from Nord.
