Org1 Overview

Org1 is a organ-style virtual instrument. By “organ-style”, we mean virtual drawbars for controlling harmonic content of the basic tone (from several basic waveforms). But not limited to just that! It is very good at emulating several types of electronic and electro-mechanical organs, but it can go well beyond that paradigm.

Org1 features:

• 2 “drawbar” generators. Each implements:

  • 5 basic tones: Dolce, Principale, Strings, Flute & Reede

  • 9 “Drawbars”: 16’, 5 1/3’, 8’, 4’, 2 2/3’, 2’, 1 3/5’, 1 1/3’ & 1’

  • Tune (whole generator), Detune (random detune of each drawbar within a generator) Stretch (proportional detune of each footage drawbar within a generator)

• Generator Balance

• Vibrato

  • Control of speed, depth and differential speed between generators.

• Percussion

  • Legato triggering (as on Hammond organs)

  • 2nd, 3rd & 5th harmonics

  • Decay rate

• Key Click

  • Spit & Chiff

  • Pitch, Tone, Emphasis & Mode

• 3 Resonators

  • Frequency, resonance & gain (including negative gain) controls

  • Bypass, Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass and No Pass modes

• Distortion

  • 4 modes: None, Soft 1, Soft 2 & Hard

  • Amount, Drive, Asymmetry & Gain

• Attack / Release amplitude envelope

• Final Volume

• Chorus

  • Control of Time, Mix, Rate, Depth & Regen

• Rotary

  • Control of Speed & Inertia,

  • Per-speed

    • Stereo Width, Stereo Depth, Chorale Time, Chorale Depth & Chorale Mix

Org1 Architecture

Org1 Minimal User’s Guide

Synth Sections

The major sections of the instrument are accessed by tabs just above the on-screen keyboard. These tab contain the synthesis parameter controls. In the case that there is insufficient screen space to display all of the controls, the control space can be scrolled by touching a non-control portion of the screen and dragging the display up or down.

Synthesis Controls

Synthesis parameters in Org1 are manipulated by switches and sliders in the control space of each tab. Switches are activated (or selected) by tapping on them. Sliders are manipulated by tapping on the desired value or dragging the “handle”. Double-tapping on a slider will return it to it’s “nominal” value (often zero).

Org1 - Application Sections

The signal flow and UI of Org1 is divided into 4 sections, represented by tabs at the top of the display (below the optional on-screen keyboard).

The Generators panel contain controls for Org1’s 2 generators, percussion and key click.

Generator A / B

• Rank “Drawbars’ -

• Tune

• Detune

• Stretch

Mix -

• Vibrato

• Speed

• Depth

• Spread

Percussion

• Rank

• Decay

Key Click

• Chiff

• Spit

• Pitch

• Tone

• Emph

• Mode

The Resonators panel contains controls for the 3 resonators

Resonators Presets - All parameters of the 3 resonators can be saved and recalled. Org1 comes with a number of useful vocal and instrumental resonances presets.

Resonator 1 / 2 / 3

• Mode - Bypass, Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass, No Pass.

• Frequency - The cutoff or center frequency.

• Resonance - The amount of “emphasis” feedback. This can make the effect of the resonator more or less pronounced.

• Gain - The amount of positive or negative gain applied to the passed signal.

The Distortion panel contains controls for Org1’s distortion effect

• Type - None, Soft 1, Soft 2, Hard

• Drive

• Asymmetry

• Gain

• Transfer Curve

The Output panel contains controls for amplitude and effects.

Amplitude Envelope

• Attack / Release - Attack and Release (AR) paramenters.

Final Gain - Controls the amplitude of the final output. This is useful to balance the perceived volume between different patches.

Chorus

• Time - The base delay.

• Mix - The mix delayed to non-delayed signal.

• Rate - The rate of modulation.

• Depth - The depth of modulation.

• Regen - The amount of negative feedback applied to the chorus effect. This can create greater “emphasis” of the effect.

Rotary

• Mode

• Chorale / Tremolo Speed

• Chorale / Tremolo Stereo Width

• Chorale / Tremolo Stereo Depth

• Chorale / Tremolo Time

• Chorale / Tremolo Depth

• Choral / Tremolo Mix

• Inertia
