Organ Section

The organ section is powered by the engine from the Nord Organ 3 and includes B3, B3 Bass, Vox, Farfisa, Soft B3, and Pipe organ models. The rotary speaker emulation features three selectable microphone positions along with Slow, Fast, and Stop modes. Physical drawbars with LED feedback, Drawbar Live Mode, and dedicated presets for upper and lower manuals support expressive, hands-on control.

Piano Section

The piano section is compatible with the Nord Piano Library and adds Dynamic Compression, Unison, and Timbre controls for increased depth and articulation. The weighted HP action pairs naturally with these features, supporting expressive dynamics and detailed control. A low-pass filter with resonance, FM partials, and dual envelopes for amp and filter/FM allow further shaping without slowing down workflow.

Synth Section

The expanded synth section combines sample playback with analog waveforms and FM synthesis. Mono and legato modes, glide, unison, and vibrato with adjustable rate, amount, and delay provide flexible sound design and performance options. Push encoders enable fast category and sound selection across sections.

Effects and Performance Control

Dedicated effects are available per section, with modulation effects offering rate and amount control, along with ring modulation, vibe, and a new spring reverb. New amp models, including Brit and Suitcase, expand tonal options. An assignable expression pedal allows real-time control of synth filter and effect parameters, while a global reverb with per-layer send completes a streamlined, performance-ready instrument.
