MAIN FEATURES

ACCURATELY REPRODUCES THE TONE WHEEL SOUND
Your new A-162 contains 96 independent oscillating digital tone wheels that accurately
reproduce the sound of the Vintage B-3/C-3/A-100.
In addition, this organ has full polyphony as on the B-3/C-3/A-100.

ADVANCED DIGITAL LESLIE / VIBRATO EFFECTS
Th e A-162 is equipped with a proprietary eff ect generator to reproduce the Scanner-Vi-
brato and Leslie Speaker. Th e range of sound you can create is expanded by the use of Vi-
brato and Chorus eff ects, and by the real sounding Leslie eff ects which eff ectively replicate
the eff ect of the two Rotors which are present in traditional Leslie Speakers.

EQUALIZER AND TONE CONTROL
A 3-band equalizer and tone-control are now built in. Th e equalizer can make fi ne or
course tonal adjustments to the bass, treble, and mid frequency ranges. Th e tone control

cut treble.

CompactFlash™ CARD SLOT
