At the 2025 NAMM Show, held Jan 21–25 in Anaheim, CA, Nord introduced the Nord Organ 3, the latest generation of their Organ series, the company unveils earlier this month which they say “delivers a massive leap forward in sound, design, and performance.”
At its core is a refined B3 emulation, a newly developed rotary speaker emulation, synth bass, expanded effects section and “vastly improved” Vox and Farfisa models.
The Nord Organ 3 features two, high-quality 61-key triple-sensor, semi-weighted waterfall keyboards. A redesigned panel layout with an OLED display ensures intuitive control, giving instant access to sounds and parameters.
Connectivity options include two 1/4″ TRS balanced audio outputs, an 11-pin Leslie connector for rotary speaker cabinets, 5-pin MIDI I/O, a Bass Pedal 5-pin MIDI input, and an Aux output for optional Bass/Pedal routing.

The acclaimed Nord Organ is back – reborn and reimagined as the all-new Nord Organ 3.
The 2025 NAMM Show is fast approaching, and manufacturers of all manner of musical instruments and studio gear are unveiling new products in advance of the show.
Hot on the reel of the news that Ashun Sound Machines (ASM), makers of the Hydrasynth parent company MEDELI Electronics has applied for a US patent for the name ‘Leviasynth’. Clavia has announced the release of Nord Organ 3, a rebranded sequel to its Nord C2D electronic organ – first released all the way back in 2012 – that promises “massive improvements” to sound, design and performance.
The Nord Organ 3 with improved organ engine, new modulation effects and rotary speaker emulation.
The dual-manual Nord Organ 3 boasts a dramatically redesigned front panel that now occupies the breadth of its 61-key triple-sensor keyboard, with an OLED display in the centre and four sets of physical drawbars, equipped with LEDs that helpfully indicate the drawbar settings of the current preset.
Organ 3’s organ engine has also received a considerable overhaul, with its enhanced Hammond B3 emulation now featuring an improved chorus and vibrato and both Farfisa and Vox organ models receiving an upgrade: Clavia says the engine now offers an “unsurpassed level of detail and realism”. Alongside these we have two unique pipe organ emulations, and new synth bass options based on classic pedal synths.
The instrument’s effects section has been bolstered with an all-new spring reverb, an expanded reverb section with six reverb types, an analogue delay mode and new modulation effects, including phaser, tremolo, ring mod, flanger and chorus. There’s also a brand new rotary speaker emulation onboard with multiple mic placement options and drive modes available.
Shipping in May, Nord Organ 3 is now available to order and priced at $3290/£3222/€3799. Find out more on Nord website.
The 2025 NAMM Show – the annual trade show of The National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) – is scheduled for January 21–25 in Anaheim, California.
The annual event provides an opportunity for music merchants to see the latest in musical instruments, and it’s traditionally been one of the most important events of the year for companies making new gear introductions.
This year’s NAMM Show is spread over five days. But the trade show is only scheduled for three of those days, one day less than it used to be.
While the LA area has been devastated by recent fires, NAMM President and CEO John Mlynczak says that “Anaheim is located 60 miles southeast of the wildfires and is currently unaffected.”
