What B1-Drawbar-Organ does

  • B1 builds a tonewheel drawbar organ from 91 running oscillators with up to 12 voices.
  • Nine drawbars in classic 16' to 1' order mix the harmonics, and respond smoothly while notes are held.
  • Pick B3 / LESLIE for the clean classic path or ROCK / LORD for a driven amp with AMP GAIN / DRIVE, TONE and CABINET.
  • Shape the organ with percussion, key click, leakage, scanner chorus/vibrato and a rotary speaker with SLOW / FAST speeds and ROTOR MIX.
  • Delay and reverb pages add MIX, TIME, FEEDBACK, STEREO, type, DECAY and DAMP.
  • Play the FM-1 keys or MIDI input across UPPER, LOWER and SOLO registrations using four keyboard ranges.
  • Twelve named projects hold drawbars, ranges, chords, scale, effects and engine mode in persistent memory.
