Turning on the organ Nord Stage 3 Compact

Post by Johnpersson »

Hello! Whenever I turn on the organ section it is ALWAYS with "all stops out". No matter where I put my physical drawbars before. Because of this I can never turn on the organ in a smooth way... Is there a way in the system or sound settings to change this? I cant find it.. Thanks!

The NS3 doesn't "remember" the last state in which it's been switched off, unless that is for the Live mode. It will remember what the last Program you left it on was though (A01, A02...). So you'll have to save a Program in which drawbars aren't fully out if you wish so. It's all in the manual...

Does this occur on any Program you're using? I'd suggest finding a preset using Organ and see what happens with this. It's possible you are using a Program that has the drawbars saved as 888888888. Are you able to adjust the setting after turning on the Organ? If so, then you'd just need to save the Program with whatever setting you want to have, plus there's a Preset 2 where you can save a second drawbar setting. In addition, there's the Drawbar Live button which would keep your Organ playing whatever the drawbar physical position is showing.

If you switch to a program, move all the Drawbars, and THEN switch on the organ, it should take the positions you’ve moved the Drawbars to.

If you don’t touch a drawbar after switching programs, it will be set to whatever was saved in that program.

Just now when I was playing around with it I noticed the button "live" under "drawbars". How can I not have seen it already?? Just by double-tapping it before turning on the organ will make is so that the organ will turn on with the settings from the physical drawbars :D :D Thanks!

I'm tipping your next question will be "Why can't I store a program?"
