The Nord Electro 3 OS and the Electro 3 HP OS have both been updated to version 3.04.
- If keys were held down during startup or a synchronizing with the Manager, they would all play, quite loud, once the OS had booted or the sync was completed. This is now fixed.
- Muted output when organ models are changed, to prevent noise.
- The Electro 3 61/73 did not use the internal velocity curves that are assigned to every individual piano in the Nord Piano Library v5.x. This is now fixed.

Developed in association with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, the meticulously modeled HLS Channel and PIE Compressor plug-ins are based on the vintage gear he used in historic sessions at London's acclaimed Olympic Studios.
HLS Channel recreates the original Helios EQs with their sweet saturation, high-end presence, and fat low-frequency boost, as well as the unique behavior, coloration, and drive of the console's preamps.
The PIE Compressor was modeled on the Pye, which was a mainstay in esteemed British studios throughout the classic rock era, and is considered by many to be one of the best buss compressors of all time.
Price : 99$ Native, 149$ TDM for each plug in. Buy both and save 149$ Native and 225$ TDM
