The Nord C2D

The Nord C2D is a portable organ with unmatched capabilities. Known as the Swedish reproduction of the Hammond B3, it offers extremely realistic organ simulations, including amplifier and rotary speaker characteristics. Two sets of physical drawbars per manual provide optimal control. The C2D is also a versatile instrument, offering a beautifully sampled Baroque-style pipe organ sound. The keyboard is a pleasure to play, equipped with two renowned Waterfall keyboards that are lightly weighted and respond very accurately, giving an authentic playing experience similar to the original instrument.

The Nord C2D was developed over years of refining tonewheel simulations. Nord started this technology in the early Electro models, continued with the C1, and the C2 led to the current flagship. Four tonewheel variations are available, from worn workhorses to a pristine-sounding organ. Each of the 91 rotating tonewheels was carefully analyzed, and every characteristic sound of the originals has been meticulously recreated.

The sound and experience of a tonewheel organ are incomplete without a rotary speaker. The C2D features two rotary speaker simulations, one based on the Leslie 145 and one on a vintage Leslie 122, which can be set to stop, slow, or fast speeds. These can be controlled via an optional footswitch or half-moon switch, or connected to an original Leslie amplifier through the 11-pin connector. Twin and JC amplifier simulations can be freely assigned to the B3 or the Farfisa and Vox organs. The effects section includes a 3-band EQ, feedback delay with tap-tempo, and various reverb types, providing everything needed to create a personalized organ sound.

The C2D also includes a beautifully sampled Baroque pipe organ, with advanced sampling techniques reproducing a highly expressive and realistic sound. The two manuals have distinct tonal characters, the lower being majestic and the upper slightly softer. Couplings allow combinations between the manuals, and the pedal has three bass stops playable via the lower manual or an optional 27-note Nord pedal. In addition, the C2D features precise recreations of two classic 1960s transistor organs, the Farfisa Compact Deluxe with its energetic sound and complex filter combinations, and the Vox Continental with its hollow and intense character. These sounds can be further customized through amplifier simulations and EQ.

Various original accessories are available, including a robust softcase for safe transport, a dedicated stand, music desk, half-moon switch, and the 27-note Nord pedal, though the C2D also works well with pedals from other brands.
