B3 Tone-wheel Organ

The extremely authentic B3 Tone-Wheel simulation offers up four different tone wheel settings, ranging from factory new clean to leaky old vintage. The Stage 3 88 model uses a button system for moving drawbars up and down whilst the smaller Stage 3 Compact features physical drawbar control. LED lights indicate drawbar position for clear and easy viewing especially on dark stages.

Vintage Rotary Speaker

Incredible vintage 122 Rotary Speaker simulation adds an essential character to a live organ performance and features Slow, Fast and Stop mode as well as a Drive control. The 122 Rotary Speaker simulation is available on each slot and can also be used with the Piano or Synth section

Classic Transistor Organs

The Organ section also features impeccable simulations of the classic 1960's Transistor Organs, Vox Continental and Farfisa Compact with all the classic settings.

Principal Pipe Organs

The Organ section contains two different new Principal Pipe Organ models. These models faithfully emulate two variations of a Principal pipe section - the sets of metal pipes that commonly make up the backbone of a pipe or church organ.

Nord Stage3 88 key Synth Section

The new and improved synth section features the acclaimed Nord Lead A1 Synth Engine combined with Sample Playback and a brilliant OLED display for all Oscillator functions. The Lead A1 Synth Engine is renowned for its analog-modelling warmth, and utilises brilliant Smart Oscillator Configurations to deliver stunning results with little programming. There are both Single oscillator setups including Pitch and Shape modes, and Dual oscillator setups including Detune, Sync, Waveform, Bell and Noise Mix modes, FM and Ring Mod. The Synth section also provides 3 Unison modes, without reducing voice polyphony.

All samples can be tweaked creatively inside the Lead A1 Synth Engine and it is even possible to create and transfer your own samples using the Nord Sample Editor.

Combine the power of the synth section with the powerful Syncronizable LFO and Arpeggiator for incredible performances.
