Great sounds and playing!

Did you use any EQ on the piano or organ?

Well, I don't feel anything wrong in the organ sound, ok, maybe a bit thin compared to my C2D but it has always been the case with this difference between the C2D and my Stage 2....Ok, the Stage 3 is supposed to close the gap....And as usual, the one who is behind the pole/poster/garbage.... Guess who. Keyboard player!!!!

I love tripping the Leslie with aftertouch.

2 Short clips from my debut gig with the NS3. I was promised more video but my friends were more interested in socializing than taking video - but here is what I got.
Short and sweet. First clip is some "Silver grand" piano work in Feelin Alright - next is a brief except from my organ solo in Whippin Post.

Hey Gospelkeys, super nice playing you just seem a bit to loud with piano when comping a singer....maybe get a volume pedal ? Solo part is cool to be loud. Hammond could be brighter and a notch more distorted , Id turn some eq to make it more present.

Great job.

Anyone notice that changing the key click level from low to high only brightens the organ EQ, but doesn’t actually change the key click level?

...since 2 months i say this, for the key click and brightness. I feel less alone, and wait of nord to fix this.

I haven't noticed that, but will check more closely tomorrow.

I will say I am really close to loving the Organ section. It's just going to take some tweaking.

Yes, the key click has been discussed also a month ago. I can reproduce it.

It was a great find by @lordy and was reproduced here, so I don't know about the feeling alone part

Okay, so I'm reprogramming all of my patches from the NS 2 on the NS3 now, so I have them side by side on the same interface, trying to get as close as possible.

The new Leslie model vs. the old is night-and-day, with the 122 close being the nicer version of the new one.

But the old one had a warmth and fullness to it that I have been so far unable to reproduce with the equaliser on the NS3. I'm sorry to say that I like the old Hammond a lot better for it — even disregarding the fact that the Nord Stage 3 percussion is broken, and that the C3 chorus is in fact a C2… I think it's a different rotor/horn balance.

They've also changed the key click sound from a sort of chorused smacking (which was more realistig) to a single tic.
