Using the Organ
1
Press the
Organ instrument selector .
This activates the Organ section .
2
Press the
Organ Model selector
repeatedly to cycle through the three
organs – the B3, Vox and Farfisa emula-
tions .
The settings for the three organ sounds are made using the digital
drawbars . The Farfisa uses these in a switch mode, with only two set-
tings for each .
3
Make a setting with the drawbars and then press the
Split button .
This activates the second preset, which allows you to keep two dif-
ferent settings for an organ sound available from the panel at any
time . The settings of both Presets 1 and 2 are stored in the Electro 3's
program memory .
4
Press and hold
Shift and the Preset/Split button .
This activates the organ split mode . The keyboard will be split at C4 .
The lower half will use the Preset 1/Lo setting; the upper half will use
the Preset 2/Up setting .
If you press and hold both the Shift and the Preset/Split buttons
for a couple of seconds, the Split LED will begin to flash and you
can press a key on the keyboard to set a new split point as long
as these buttons are held down. The key you press will be the first
upper manual key.
This finishes our little tour; we hope that you now have the initial knowledge on how to operate most of the functions on the panel.
The following chapter is the reference section, with the chapter on the Nord Sound Manager application after that, on page 20.
The Rotary effect
The rotary effect adds some great sonic
drama to the organs, but can of course be
used with any other sound as well . The Elec-
tro 3 rotary has three available speeds: fast,
slow and stop . Stop does not disengage
the effect; it only stops the rotating speakers

The Stop Mode LED will be lit .

Fast and Stop .
The rotary will now emulate the functionality of an early, one speed

control the rotary speed with this pedal.
