IMPORTANT: Moving the Tonewheel Drawbars while holding down the manual keys will immediately change
the Tonewheel / Drawbar sound. You may use this to create the ‘Wa-Wah’, and other effects. This is a new
feature that was not available with older WERSI instruments.
Additional Push Buttons in the Organ sound group allow for more changes of the Tonewheel / Drawbar sound (they
modify the sound of the manual section that is currently selected by the associated Selector push button).
• Percussion On - adds 2 2/3 ‘ Percussion
• Sustain On - adds a Sustain effect, i.e after releasing a manual key, the tone fades out softly (ala organ Maestro
Klaus Wunderlich Helios recordings).
• Rotor On - this activates the famous sound of rotating speakers. The Rotor Slow / Fast push button in the Rhythm
Controls group changes the speed of the ‘Rotation’ between the Slow and Fast. Please note the ‘Speed-up’ and
Speed-down’ effects when changing the speeds. We have placed the Rotor Slow / Fast push button on the left
control panel to allow you to quickly push it with your left hand while playing.
• Vibrato On - this push button activates the Scanner or Phase Vibrato, well known from classic Tonewheel organs
and also older WERSI instrument generations.
• Presets - this push button activates nine Tonewheel / Drawbar Sound Presets that can be selected by touching
one of the nine Yellow Virtual Sound buttons in the Main Display. You may then adjust the sounds using the Tone -
wheel Drawbars (except when the sound is marked with an Asterisk - because the sound is a Longwave sample
sound).
IMPORTANT: Please note that the Modulation wheel is used with OX7 sounds to produce the artificial distor -
tion, such as you got from old tube amplifiers. So if you hear a distorted Tonewheel sound, it does not mean
that your instrument is defective, simply that you have the Modulation wheel set to the maximum setting and
the Distortion effect is active. Simply roll the Modulation wheel back towards the Rhythm Controls to deacti-
vate the Distortion effect.
OAS X1 Drawbar Sounds
Typical of our nature at WERSI, why settle for one Drawbar Tone Generation when you can have more than one! OAS
makes this possible. The new OAS X-1 Drawbar is a new sound device within OAS and works in the same way as the
OX7 drawbars.
OAS X1 Drawbars (Listed in the Settings Screen as just OAS Drawbars) works on the same basis of mixing together
Sine waves / Vibrations of different frequency positions, whose volumes can be set individually with the Drawbars.
IMPORTANT: Please note that you can only change the sound with the Drawbars if the instrument was saved
with the parameters ‘Drawbars Free’ (See the OAS Drawbar Editor chapter in the Programmers Guide’.
PLEASE NOTE: You can Only assign the OAS-Drawbar Sounds to Selectors ‘Upper 1 & Lower 1). They will not
work on any other Selectors.
As with the OX7 sounds, you can use the Rotor Slow / Fast button in the Rhythm Controls section to switch the
‘Rotation Speed’ between Fast & Slow. However, the other buttons in the Organ group have no effect on the OAS X1
Drawbars. You can find other settings for your OAS X1-Drawbar sounds in the appropriate section in the Programmers
Guide.
B4 Sounds (Optional) VST (Virtual Instrument)
Using the optional B4-software module provided by Native Instruments you can generate the very authentic sounds of
old Electro-mechanical organs. You control these sounds in the very same way as OAS X1 Drawbar Sounds.
VB3 Hammond Clone (Virtual Instrument
A VST (Virtual Instrument) for OAS. VB3 Drawbars are controlled inexactly the same way as the OAS X1 / B4 Draw -
bars.
PLEASE NOTE: VB3 Was only available for a very limited time during 2009. It is not possible to buy this acti-
vation at this time. The VB3 instructions are naturally included as many customers did purchase this limited edition
VST during the period it was available.
