Nord Organ 3 - Update History

v1.00 (2026-06-29)

  • Sound menu: Revised Tone-Wheel Vintage settings and addition of "Vintage 4" option:
    • The new Vintage 3 corresponds to the previous Vintage 2 setting, but with a revised character
    • The new Vintage 2 setting provides leakage that has its focus lower in the frequency range as compared to Vintage 3
    • The new Vintage 1 setting is similar to Vintage 2, with less sub-fundamental leakage
    • The new Vintage 4 setting is similar to Vintage 3 but with a more pronounced effect
  • Improvements to Farfisa compression
  • Soft B3 Organ Model now always uses Vintage 1 Tone-Wheel character (or Clean, if that is selected in menu)
  • Fixed bug where Analog Mode for Delay could not be activated using standard Shift operation, but only by using "hold to Shift"

v0.98 (2025-10-23)

  • FX Bypass for Bass Pedals removed the pedal sound from the 11-pin/High Level outputs. Fixed
    • The Bass Pedals can, if desired, be removed from both the 11-pin/High Level and L+R outputs by setting the Aux Output to Breakout > Bass Pedals.
  • The “Rotary Bass” setting for the Aux output now removes the Rotary Bass speaker sound from the L+R outputs and has been renamed to Breakout > Rot. Bass. This keeps only the treble horn sound on the L+R outputs.
  • Certain external Rotary Speaker units did not receive audio on the 11-pin output, due to not being detected by the sensing mechanism. Fixed
  • The menu options for the Output Routing pages have been revised. The available settings now are:
  • L+R: All, Vx+Farf+Soft+Pipe
  • Ext: All, B3
  • Aux: Clean Copy, Breakout > Vx+Farf, Breakout > Bass Pedal, Breakout > Rot. Bass

v0.96 (2025-06-25)

  • Increased resolution for treble horn and bass rotor models
  • Improved cross-over filter characteristics, with more pronunced resonances in certain ranges 
  • Updated bass rotor sound with a slightly extended treble range
  • Fixed a number of parameter texts and hints


v0.94 (2025-06-10)

  • Fixed "Stop Angle" is now implemented as intended.
    • To activate the fixed Stop Angle, press Shift+Rotor Speed Stop (or hold down the Stop button). The Stop LED now blinks when the rotor is stopped.
    • To set the angle, open the Sound Menu (Shift+Live 3), navigate to page 4 and select Stop Mode. Use the dial to select the angle.
    • Depending on Mic Pos selection, the L+R mic indicators will change in the display.
  • Unified L+R channel positioning for all Mic Positions
  • Pressing Store no longer enters “pre-listen” for the current program, to avoid abrupt changes in sound when storing a program (unless a different Program location is selected)
  • B3 Init (Shift+Organ Model) now initializes the B3 panel parameters (Chorus/Vib, Percussion) and Bass Pedal options as well.


V0.90 (2025-05-21)

  • First public OS release
