WELL CONTROL
Swell is the characteristic volume function that you control from the B-3’s pedal. Swell is not only a volume
control - for the B-3 it also changes the character of the sound in a special way. To use Swell control on the
Nord Stage, simply plug in a standard resistive expression pedal to the O
RGAN SWELL input on the rear
panel (see “Connecting pedals” on page 11).
A expression pedal connected to the O
RGAN SWELL
input will control Swell for all organ models.

PEAKER
The Rotor section (rotary speaker simulation) is logically placed next to the Organ section, but you can also
use it for Piano or Synth sounds, just like the other effects. The Rotor effect is described on page 49.
O
RGAN PRESET
1 & 2
For each Organ Model you can store two organ Presets within a single Program. This is a quick way of
changing between two sound variations, without having to change Programs.
You change between Presets 1 & 2 by pressing the P
RESET II button. The drawbar settings and the Vi-
brato/Percussion (on/off) settings in both Presets are stored with the Program.

and the S
PLIT ORGAN button you will activate a basic Split Organ setup, where Both
Panel A and B are active. In this mode the keyboard is split to play a “Lower” and an “Upper” Manual
organ. Panel A settings control the Lower Manual and Panel B the Upper Manual. By default, the split
point is set at middle C.
A blinking P
ANEL
button indicates which Panel is edit active, i.e. which of the two Panel’s settings are
currently shown. To edit/show settings for the other Panel/Manual, press the corresponding P
ANEL
but-
ton.
Each Panel/Manual can have their own drawbar, Vibrato (on/off) and Percussion (on/off) settings.
