the drawbars fail, they don't work in any mode, B3, Vox, etc
Hello, I am new to the forum, I take the opportunity to ask if anyone has had this problem: the drawbars on my NE4D do not work, in any way, not on Vox, not on Farfisa, not on B3. I thought it might be the drawbar board, maybe the multiplexer IC, but I lack information. Does anyone know how to get information or if any of you have had this experience, please help me. Thank you.

Can you post a video so we can see all your settings and make sure all is set up correctly.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
In addition to the video, which Gambold asked for, can you also let us know if you own the Electro for some time now and the drawbars used to work in the past but suddenly stopped working, or if you have bought the Electro recently and they did not work at all from the start when you got it?

This is key information + a check on the manual shows that on the NE4D the drawbars must be enabled using the Drawbar button of the Organ section: has this been read and done?Schorsch wrote: 12 Apr 2026, 11:40 Hi and welcome to the forum!
