Tonewheel Sounds and Drawbar Control

Organ provides ten tonewheel sets, including Real, Dirty, Clean, Rich, Bright, Buzz, Square, Saw, Soft and Sine. Each gives a different starting character, so you can choose a voicing before you shape it.

The nine drawbars work the way a traditional organ does. Pulling or pushing each one adds or removes a harmonic, which lets you build a tone from the ground up. Amp Drive and Key Clicks give you further control over grit and attack.

Rotary, Vibrato and Built-In Effects

Scanner vibrato and Leslie-style rotary speaker emulation add the swirling movement associated with classic organ recordings. The rotary section includes slow and fast rate, stereo spread, hi/lo tone, modulation and a wet/dry mix, so you can set the speed and balance of the effect.

The built-in effects cover delay with time, ratio, feedback, mix and resonance filtering, plus reverb models including Soft, Bright, Studio, Chamber, Hall and Ambient, and an EQ. Resonance AIR Music Technology describes the rotary engine as award-winning.
