Wonder if they restored the 9th drawbar cancel on it.

Voilà:

It's very cool - I hope it does well because Nord needs to make a splash this year.

AND - I'm still thinking/believing/fantasizing that we will see an Electro 7 this year. It's only January and I doubt Clavia wants to flog an organ as its one new product for the entire rest of 2025...it's a bit too high-end and niche and they need a market-buster. A new Electro with SERIOUS changes could be a hot one for them.

I'm talking a bigger color screen, wi-fi capability, memory boost, a new Grand sample, a redesigned preset structure, improvements to the organ section (like bringing back the d*mn 9th drawbar cancel), the ability to split the keyboard anywhere -- stuff like that, that wouldn't require that much re-engineering but would seduce older Electro users and feel competitive with what Yamaha is putting out.

Dreaming on, Gambold

Big disappointment for now

Yes, if you forget to switch off the low-pass filter on the sample synth it's really… oh wait.

What the hell are you talking about?

Just yesterday I playd Stage3 with samples of different samples of pipes of pipe organ and though that if Nord release Organ3 sometimes they should implement possibility of input samples of many pipe organs and possibility to operate samples of pipes in real time by drawbars like on big pipe organs, then I will buy it immediately...

That's awesome.

I wonder if the percussion triggers on *held* notes the way it does on a real Hammond. I asked for that twenty years ago, when I got my first Electro…

I have to assume that this is being marketed to people who already have a primary keyboard like a Stage 3/4 and needed the extra Organ power on the side.

The fact that it looks to be purely Organ sounds, and not like giving you the option to have electric keyboard on one layer and organ on the other, does seem to make it a very niche product.

It's also marketed towards people who have an organ, but who are looking for a more portable option that doesn't require four hands and a rental van to move to a gig.

In other words: Me.

I think this one will be popular. It's becoming impractical to own a real Hammond, and lots of keyboard nerds like me grew up on the real thing. Much like the Nord Grand, it looks to be primarily a home instrument, less of a gigging instrument -- although I'm sure you'll see them being gigged.
