Combo Compact Organ
5

If you have a 5-octave keyboard, I highly recommend transposing it one octave down, which will give you the full range of
C0 to C5 at once.
Percussion Section
A feature on the early Deluxes and Duos, set
Percussion Off/On
to On to apply an
opto-envelope decay to all active Voice or Multi-Boost tabs. Two decay lengths
are available via the
Percussion Short/Long
. Later organ variants added a repeat
function, which retriggered the envelope. Set
Repeat Off/On
to On and adjust the
retrigger rate from 16–1/16, or 12–1/8T with the
Repeat
rotary.
All percussion features use “next note” behaviour, which can provide some interesting results when
used deliberately by switching these tabs during active notes. Envelope is also per note, so play notes together to ensure
everything is triggered at the same rate, or play notes with arpeggio for creative effects. Applies to the Bass Section plus
Voice or Multi-Boost tabs.
Vibrato Section
No organ would be complete without some vibrato! The blue tabs allow you set the rate,
Vi-
brato Slow/Fast
; the depth,
Vibrato Light/Heavy
; and off/on,
Vibrato Off/On
. Applies to the Voice
or Multi-Boost tabs only.
Reverb Section
The level of the lovely Farfi sa F/AR spring reverb can be adjusted using the
Reverb
rotary. If using an
external reverb you can turn it off completely and save a few cycles of processing by disabling it with the
yellow
Reverb Off/On
tab. Applies to the Voice or Multi-Boost tabs only.
Amp Section
Click and hold the
Type
knob and drag it up or down to select between Transis-
tor or Tube distortion types. Adjust the distortion amount with the
Drive
rotary;
a minimum setting does not turn the amp off, merely sets a zero level of drive.
Depending on other settings, you will typically notice the difference between Tran-
sistor and Tube modes, even with no drive. The amp section can be used on the
Voice or Multi-Boost tabs only.
Tremolo Section
Also a feature of later Duos, this section allows you set
Tremolo Depth
and
Tremolo
Rate
(1–10Hz). As with the percussion envelope, the LFO driving the tremolo is per
note, so play notes together to hear a single LFO, or arpeggiate them to stagger
the LFO for creative purposes. Tremolo can be used in addition to or instead of
vibrato, and is a great with the Repeat function for creative effects. Applies to the
Voice or Multi-Boost tabs only.
