Hello I have a Nord Electro 3HP and a nord Electro 6.
On the Nord 6 all organ sounds containing the B3 have less Volume. Even when I turn on the distortion its not getting much better. Doing the same on the Nord 3 the sound blows you away. When i use the Vox or farfisa sound there is much more loudness. The Lord Sound with the B3 is awful. Any idea?
Thanks Uli

Check the Gain setting on your NE6 programs (pot on the top roght of the panel, you can increase it if needed).

PS: "sample"?? B3 (the whole Organ section actually) on Nord Electros is modeled, not sampled... read the manual, know your instrument

Let's be nice. Sample, model - it's ok to mix those up, they *should* be in a safe place here. They're just asking a question, not writing a review.

My point was not referred to the sample/model confusion (that can happen, agreed, it was a minor remark as PS, made after answering the main question and btw I see the OP changed it), but mainly to not knowing there is a Gain knob on that N5E and what it is there for, that's why I recommended to read the manual as the OP may find other things of interest about his/her NE5 in it without the need to ask and wait for an answer in a forum.

It shouldn't be as you describe it: low B3, normal Vox/Farfisa volume.

Master level, section level, drawbars, expression pedal etc. checked, I guess. What's the further signal path like? Mono or stereo monitors? Same result on the headphones output?
