PLEASE guys,

help me with the organ. I am sad and angry.
Please check this out on your NS3 and answer if you are struggling with this, too.
Referring to lines 32, 33, and 35.



And please, NORD, get this done.

Thanks a lot,
Frank

It does NOT sound good at all in this software version compared to the Stage 2 EX. I really really hope they can fix this. It doesn’t sound like the C2D either. I’m having regrets.

Nord is a serious compagny. I think they are going to release a real C2d version of organ in a next os.

Please, EVERYONE voice your complaints to Nord, so they will make the B3 Sound like C2D which the engine is supposed to be based on. I have sent in a support sheet, but haven’t heard back on anything related to an answer yet. Strength in numbers!!

I’m at a loss because the NS3 is my first Nord. I have nothing to compare it to.

But if it doesn’t sound like the C2D then it seems like there’s a problem.

Is there anyone out there who really likes the Stage 3 B3?

Well, coming from Nord stage 2, (not ex) i have to say it´s better, but not as good as i remember the C2D or NE5 to be.
It´s a little bit "meh" in my opinion.

I didn't have my Stage2 ex compact for more that a month last year, but my ears remember a better sound than my Hammond SK1 had.
My Stage3 compact B3 sound is not as good as the Stage 2 ex was, especially the C3 chorus, it's weak and doesn't have that shimmer that the "2" had.
Overall just a non-ballsy sound. Hope that Nord does address this in a not to future OS update. The close mic'd 122 on the Stage 2 ex was much better than the "3".
