Organ section

The Organ section emulates three classic organ models. This chapter is set up as a playground for the section blocks: every module type appears at least once.

Drawbars

The digital LED drawbars work like the drawbars on a traditional organ. Pulling out a drawbar adds harmonics to the sound.

  • Use the buttons below each drawbar to move it up or down.
  • Hold SHIFT to copy the drawbar registration between manuals.

Upper manual

Nine drawbars covering the full harmonic range, from the 16' sub-fundamental to the 1' top.

Rotary soeaker

  1. Turn the Rotary on
    Press the ROTARY button in the Effects section.

  2. Pick a speed
    Use the SPEED button to switch between Slow, Fast and Stop.

  3. Set the drive
    Hold SHIFT and turn the DRIVE knob to overdrive the rotary amplifier.

Tip:

The horn and drum rotors can be given separate speeds in the Sound menu.

Percussion

Second and third

Percussion adds a decaying attack to the note. Choose between the second and third harmonic.

Volume and decay

Soft percussion lowers the attack level, and Fast decay shortens it.

Vibrato and chrous

Three vibrato and three chorus settings are available, replicating the scanner vibrato of the original instrument.

Note:

Vibrato and chorus are shared between both manuals.
