o
EnvelopeGen (EG)
substitutes
“mechanical” keying, which generates a key click, by “soft”
electronic keying. This is the way to model the entirely electronic organs of the 80s. In this
mode three additional mixtures are available; the respective drawbars are active. An ADSR
envelope is applied to the harmonics selected by means of the
EnvEna
16‘ … EnvEna
Mixt3
settings on the Panel or with TouchOSC.
o
EG +PercDrb
works like
EnvelopeGen (EG)
, but instead of the ADSR envelope a
percussion envelope is active on the harmonics selected by the
EnvEna
16‘ … EnvEna
Mixt3
settings in submenu Voice Upper. The percussion effect amount can be adjusted with
the Envelope Generator Drawbars (
EGenvDB
16‘ …Mixt3)
on the Panel or with TouchOSC.
o
EG +TimeDrb
as well works like
EnvelopeGen (EG)
, but in this mode the Envelope
Generator Drawbars (
EGenvDB
16‘ …Mixt3)
affect the decay and release times of the
ADSR envelope on harmonics selected by the
EnvEna
16‘ … EnvEna Mixt3
settings in
submenu Voice Upper. Thus you can create interesting transient and decay effects similar
to a Fourier synthesizer by using time settings depending on the respective harmonics.
TG WaveSet:
Determines the content of harmonics in the generated sound. Automatically set
for the selected generator, but can be overridden in this menu:
o
B3 25%...38% k2
– B3, clean to rich harmonics (new to old organ)
o
Sine 2% k2
– clean LSI/transistor sine generator
o
Sawt Fltrd
– Sawtooth-like tone
o
Sine LC Gen
– sine wave generator with moderate k2 content
o
Sine TOSGen
– square wave generator with sine wave filtering, sounds slighty hollow
TG Flutter:
Adjusts tone generator "sloppyness" (spring clutch tension, bearing precision, and
resulting slow phase shifts and pitch changes).
TG Leakage:
Sets tone generator leakage (crosstalk noise of adjacent notes,
“growl”).
TG Tapering:
Sets tone generator age and characteristic:
o
Year 1955 (very aged caps, mellow sound)
o
Year 1961 (aged wax caps, jazz-type sound)
o
Year 1972 (new
“red” caps, rock-type sound)
o
Recapped (more aggressive)
o
StraightLin (no tapering, equal loudness)
o
Twangy (emphasises higher notes)
ContSpringFlx:
Adjusts key contact spring flex, thereby affecting click frequency.
ContSpringDmp:
Adjusts key contact spring damping, thereby affecting click length.
