2012 NAMM Show will introduced the new C2D Drawbar Organ at the 2012 NAMM Show.
Complete with 2 sets of physical drawbars per manual the Nord C2D, is described as ‘ the ultimate portable organ for musicians that play with their drawbars as well as the keys’.
Here are the details:
Nord C2D Features:
- The new left-hand preset sections offer ‘an unsurpassed level of hands-on control’ and the upper manual and panel has been tilted for better ergonomics.
- An LCD-display has been added for easier access to programs and settings.
- The Nord C2D features a redesigned simulation of the characteristic mechanical key clicks that are an essential component of the classic tone-wheel experience.
- The redesigned percussion model offers increased control over the percussion levels when playing near-legato.
- The Nord C2D also includes a redesigned Rotary Speaker simulation of a vintage 122 unit.
- The Nord C2D also includes both the Vox and Farfisa transistor organ simulations and the sampled Baroque Pipe Organ from the acclaimed Nord C2 Combo Organ.
The Nord C2D Drawbar Organ will be officially introduced at the 2012 NAMM Show. The Nord C2D is expected to ship in February 2012, with a price to be announced.

OMG. This makes me extremely happy :).
Why 4 sets of drawbars? I can understand two full sets, plus the reduced voicing set for the bass pedals, but what’s the fourth set for?
There are two sets of drawbars for each manual (upper and lower), plus the reduced set of 2 drawbars for the pedal clavier, exactly as on the Hammond B3. That way you can manually set up two different drawbar ‘presets’ for each manual, and quickly switch between these during performance.
For sure: It’s for switching between the sets. The Buttons therefor are on the left side
My Hammond Pro-XK System is going-up for sale later today in anticipation of buying one of these (“sometime in The Spring”, per the Nord spokesperson @ NAMM). It’s incredible.
I HAVE THE NORD C2D , ITHINK IT IS A GREAT SYSTEM. I ALSO USE TYROS 4 YAMAHAL KEYBOARD
