Model C
Model C is a classic tonewheel organ emulation with 9 drawbars and 3 additional drawbars
for the percussion.
Model C comes with an integrated and highly configurable rotary effect, as well as an
amplifier emulation using VST Amp technology. The effect section provides additional effects,
such as phaser, delay, and reverb, and also offers a ring modulator which...

132Drawbars
The main drawbars on the left adjust the levels of the individual tonewheels. The
three drawbars on the right adjust the levels of the tonewheels that are used for
percussion.
Rotary
Allows you to switch from fast to slow speaker rotation. In the middle position,
rotation is stopped. On the Rotary page, you can make detailed settings for the
effect.
Attack
Adjusts the attack time of the organ sound. Typically, the attack is very short, but
you can set longer...

133•Steal 1' – Typically, on an electromechanical organ, the 1' drawbar is not
available when percussion is activated. To prevent this, deactivate the Steal
1' option.
•Poly – Typically, percussion in drawbar organs is monophonic, that is, when
you play a key, the percussion envelope is triggered for this note. As long as
the key is held, no new percussion can be retriggered. If you play a legato
section, for example, percussion is only applied to the very first...

134Amp Page
The settings on this page only have an effect on the sound if signals are sent to the amp
using the Rotary/Amp dial on the Organ page.
The parameters correspond to those of the VST Amp effect, with reduced microphone and
microphone position options.

Delay Mode
With this dial, you can switch between the three available delay modes:
•St (Stereo) – This mode has two delays in parallel, one for the left and one
for the right audio channel, each with a feedback path of its own.
•Cross – This mode has two delays with cross feedback. Cross feedback
means that the delay of the left channel is fed back into the right delay and
vice versa.
•PP (Ping-Pong) – This mode mixes the...

137Mix
Sets the ratio between the dry and the wet signal.
HALiotron
HALiotron emulates the sound generation of the pre-digital sampling era.
Before the introduction of digital samplers, original instrument sounds were created by
playing a pre-recorded tape for every key. HALiotron comes with seven different tapes
from these days, which can be blended to create sound mixtures. In addition to its classic
archetype, HALiotron offers a set of the most important synthesis...
