4.4 INTERNAL NOISES SIMULATION
The electromechanical organ sound is not only characterized by tonewheels, drawbars and percussion, but
also other noises which were initially considered flaws but that have become over time distinctive features of
this type of instrument. One of these is the click (or Keyclick) generated at the attack of the note by the switch
of each key.
Another fault that became part of the sound is the noise generated by the extreme proximity of the audio wiring
(Crosstalk), where each cable interfered with the others. Therefore, when a key was pressed, many other notes
played too, but at a much lower volume.
In order to make the sound of

as faithful as possible to the
original electromechanical counterpart, you can add the Keyclick effect and adjust its
volume through the [KEYCLICK] potentiometer.
The [CROSSTALK] potentiometer adjusts the level of the noise generated by wiring
interference.
5. USING EFFECTS
5.1 VIBRATO OR CHORUS
In the VIBRATO/CHORUS section of the front panel there are three controls designed to apply the desired
effect (Vibrato or Chorus) to the sound. The Vibrato cyclically modulates the pitch of the signal thus adding
“spatiality” and “full-body” to the sound. Chorus adds the direct signal to the modulated signal. As a result, it
affects both the signal’s tuning and amplitude.

Through the tab [VIBRATO SWELL ON/OFF] (
Legend
) or [VIBRATO/CHORUS UPPER] (
Legend Live
) you can
modulate the upper manual sound. To add the effect to the lower manual and the pedalboard, use the
[VIBRATO GREAT ON/OFF] tab (
Legend
) or [VIBRATO/CHORUS LOWER] (
Legend Live
).
The six-position knob [VIBRATO AND CHORUS] can be used to select one of the three Vibrato effects (V1-V2-
V3) or the three Chorus effects (C1-C2-C3), which differ in the depth of modulation of the signal.
5.2 REVERB
Reverb originates from the sum of the various acoustic reflections produced by a sound in a natural
environment. In the original electromagnetic organs, the reverb was simulated by means of a special device
containing one or more springs. The Reverb effect of the

allows you to simulate a
natural reverb and the reverb characteristic the electromechanical organ.
Through the [REVERB] potentiometer on the side panel of the upper manual you can adjust the
reverb level.
Select the reverb type with the [REVERB HALL/SPRING] button. In HALL mode the led is
switched off. This reverb simulates a closed room. In SPRING mode the led is on; this mode
simulates the typical spring reverb.
