Nord C3 Combo Organ

Title link takes you to a couple more shots.

The dual manual Nord C3 Combo Organ emulates three types of vintage organs carefully modeled from B3, Vox* Continental and Farfisa* Compact Deluxe originals.





Features ...
- Dual 61-note manuals, same keybeds as Electro 61
- New 2nd generation tonewheel organ model
- Two transistor organ models
- 3x vibrato, 3x chorus, unison function
- Tube-style overdrive
- Three types of amplifier simulations (including rotating speaker)
- Delay with tap-tempo
- Reverb (5 algorithms)
- 3-band EQ
- Louder outputs
- Dedicated bass pedalboard MIDI input
- Trek II String Bass emulation, with controls to activate sustained & "pluck" bass

Really cool features ...
11-pin rotary speaker connector - connect a Leslie, Motion Sound, or other rotary speaker with an 11-pin connection, and control it using the C3's rotary speaker controls; includes a high-level output & options for sending just the B3 to the external rotary speaker, and the transistor organs to an amp connected to the L & R 1/4" outputs

Half-Moon Switch accessory (optional) - a physical switch that takes the place of the panel controls for rotary speaker; controls external rotary speaker or internal emulation

33 pounds - yep, 33 pounds ...

Pricing - List $3,600
Accessories - Half-Moon Switch, Legs (same as Stage), music stand (same as stage), gig bag
"C3" - C = "combo", 3 = three organ models

  1. Damn. I was hoping it would've had a sample section. Am I the only one out there who wanted this to be a dual manual harpsicord?

  3. i'm fairly excited by the prospect of such a lightweight clone. not for myself, but for my retirement-age gigster friends who don't play their Hammonds because they just can't move them anymore.

    if this Nordgan does nothing more than allow old people to get out there and school the kids again then Clavia will have done ther civic duty for their corporate lifetime.
