Nord Stage 4 Organ Presets

[SuperStage]

I have a fully rebuilt 1959 B3 and 1964 122A Leslie and a NS4C and have spent many hours trying to closely emulate my B3 on my NS3 and now my NS4.

I have never been happy with the NS4 rotary simulator so I run my NS4 through output 3 into a Neo Vent II and a TCE Hall of Fame reverb and then back into the Aux Input on the NS4 so the organ with effects comes out of output 1/2.

When I'm using the internal rotary simulator, here are some tweaks I made to the Sound section to get it to closely match my b3.

Sound Settings
Organ Keyboard Trig : High
B3 Organ Tone-Wheel : Vintage 2 (Vintage 1 for less leakage)
B3 Organ Click Level : Normal
Leslie Mic Distance : Close
Rotor Bass/Horn Level : 60/40 (Slightly less bright than 50/50)
Rotary Rotor Speed : Normal
Rotary Rotor Acc. : Normal
Rotary Horn Speed : Low
Rotary Horn Acc. : Low

Organ Settings
Rotary Drive : 2.5 - 3.0 (more growl at max swell)
Vib/Chor : C1/C2 (I find the C3 to be to extreme compared to a real B)
Percussion : ON Soft, Fast, Third (depending on registration)

Effects Settings
Reverb : Spring 1.5 Dark
Wheel Morph : Amp Sim 0 to 5
EQ Bass :-.5 Mid : 500k +1.0 Treble -1.5 (I set to flat when using the vent, and use EQ settings with internal rotary sim)

Here are some links to my favourite Organ Presets based on above settings with registrations and chorus and percussion settings below (with drive to taste)

Is there any way to see these registrations without actually transferring to a NS4? I've got a NS3 and have started exploring the B3 sounds- would love to see what you've come up with as a starting point.

I have added drawbar registration and Vib/Chor Percussion and Leslie settings below each program.

Enjoy!
