The B-3 Organ in the Nord Stage is based on a digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the
classic Hammond B-3 organ. This simulation utilizes innovative and advanced methods to capture every
nuance of the original B-3 sound, for example:
• An extremely accurate digital model of the original chorus and vibrato scanner.
• Modeling of the individual random contact bounces for each harmonic.
• Modeling of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-amplifier which forms the ”body” of
the B-3 sound.
• Simulation of the energy stealth on the tone wheels that results in the typical ”compressed” sound.
• Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original B3 design.
• Extremely fast keyboard response.
• Full polyphony.

RAWBARS
The drawbars of Nord Stage are represented by buttons and LED chain graphs instead of ordinary mechan-
ical drawbars. This gives you a big advantage: when you change preset or Programs, the correct drawbar
settings are recalled immediately and shown by the LEDs. In other words, no need for the regular ’trial and
error’ method. It’s very easy to get the hang of changing the drawbar settings in a natural way with the
buttons.
