Master level knob

This control sets the overall output level of the

Electro 4 HP/SW, at the line and the headphone

outputs. This is not a programmable control. If

you want to set an output level for a particular

program, this can be achieved with the Gain

control.

Organ section

The Organ section in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW features emulations of

three classic organ models; a B3, a Vox Continental II (Vx model) and a

Farﬁsa Compact DeLuxe (Farf model).

Organ Model button

You select which organ model to use, with the

Organ Model button.

The B3 model

This model is a digital simulation of the classic

mechanical tone wheel organ. This simulation utilizes innovative and

advanced methods to capture every nuance of the original 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 sound.

• Simulation of the energy robbing in the tone wheel architecture that

creates the typical “compressed” sound.

• Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original design.

• Extremely fast keyboard response.

• Full polyphony.

Each drawbar represents a partial with a ﬁxed harmonic interval relating

to the played note. Note that the 5 1/3 drawbar is a 5th above the

fundamental harmonic although, in most situations it is perceived as

sounding below the fundamental harmonic.

 Do not forget to try out the four tonewheel modes that are avail-

able in the B3 menu, see “Tonewheel Mode” on page 19. These

will dramatically change the sound of the B3 model from squeaky

clean to a battered, old work horse.

The VX model

The original instrument is probably the most famous of all the tran-

sistor-based combo organs that emerged in the early 60’s. Transistor

technology made it possible to manufacture much more compact and

portable organ instruments. Compared to the mighty sound of tone-

wheel organs, transistor organs generally sounded reedier and weaker,

but this one had a distinctive, timeless sound and is recreated faithfully

in the Nord Electro 4 HP/SW.

The labels used for the VX model drawbars are printed on the row

directly above the drawbars. The drawbars on the Electro 4 HP/SW’s

VX emulation control the level of each available partial, in the same

fashion as on a dual manual original Continental. The upper manual

uses the 16, 8, 4, II and III registers and the lower manual uses the 8,

4, 2 and IV registers. Each register represents a ﬁxed harmonic interval,

or groups of intervals (the II, III and IV) in a relationship to the played

note.

The two rightmost drawbars control the sum of all partials in the form

of a ﬁltered, soft and dark sounding signal (the sine icon), and an un-

ﬁltered signal with a bright and intense sound (the triangular icon).

M If these drawbars are both fully set to the lowest level, the organ

will produce no sound.

The Farf model

This typical “buzzy” sound of this vintage instrument is one of the most

distinct and easily recognizable organ sounds ever created, yet it is ac-

tually possible to get quite a wide range of sounds out of the instrument.

The labels used for the Farf model drawbars are printed on the upper

row above the drawbars.

The drawbars act as on/off switches, or “Register selectors” when the

Farf model is selected.
