Never had a problem but it definitely sounds better now, brighter and cuts through more!

IIRC from my NE3, the difference between vintage 2 and vintage 3 was that, on vintage 2, you'd only hear the leakage while playing, whereas on vintage 3, you'd actually hear leakage even if you weren't playing anything (which is actually more authentic).

Yes, that is true -- and even if quite authentic, it would also cause the sound guy to raise a brow from time to time :-) But good you bring it up; I just meant to say that in comparison to the in-playing leakage and "noise"/intermodulation/whatever.

After update Chorus 3 sounds better and we can hear difference beetween Vintage 1 and Vintage 2... now we only need more options about percussion, like on my old NE5D. :)

The organ now sounds KICK-ASS.

The percussion is perfect[/]. Bites and cracks like an eggshell to the head.

C3 is as it should be.

Awesome update.

No, you can tweak the same ones as before (vintage, click, trigger point, vibrato rate, rotary emu, rotor and horn speeds), as far as I remember.

The two NE5 parameters I was looking to be added are "B3 PERC DB9 MUTE" and "ROTARY BALANCE"
