  • Page 35 Playing the VR-700 What is the Wheel Brake? This simulates the way in which the tonewheels stop rotating when you switch off the power on a tonewheel organ. Since the amplifier of a tonewheel organ consisted of analog circuits using vacuum tubes, it would continue to produce sound for a short time even after the power was turned off.

  • Page 36: Creating Organ Sounds

    In the same way as a traditional tonewheel organ, the VR-700 lets you use harmonic bars to create the basic sound of the organ. It also uses digital technology to faithfully simulate various distinctive characteristics of the tonewheel organ, and allows you to freely vary these.

  • Page 39: Using Percussion To Add A Sense Of Attack

    Using Percussion to add a Sense of Attack Percussion adds a sharply decaying component to the beginning of the sound, giving the sound more crispness. When you play legato, percussion is added only to the first note you play. When you play staccato, percussion is added to each note.

  • Page 40: Adding Modulation To The Sound (Vibrato And Chorus)

    The VR-700 reproduces this characteristic of the circuit’s recharge time, and provides a Function mode setting “Percussion Recharge Time” that lets you adjust it (p. 52).

  • Page 41: Adding Rotary Speaker Modulation

    The most typical rotary speaker unit contained a high-frequency speaker (tweeter) and a low-frequency speaker (woofer), each of which rotated at a different speed. The VR-700 simulates the effect produced by a rotary speaker. You can use the buttons in the rotary sound section to control the operation of the rotary speaker.

  • Page 42: Making The Sound Distort

    Turning the knob toward the right will raise the gain, adding distortion to the sound. About the amp types The VR-700 also faithfully simulates the amp that is combined with the rotary speaker. The VR-700 simulates five different amp types, allowing you to produce various kinds of distortion.

  • Page 43: Using A Pedal To Adjust The Volume

    This contributes to the distinctive character of a tonewheel organ. The VR-700 can simulate the sounds of four different types of tonewheels. The tonewheel type can be changed by the Function mode setting “Wheel Type”...
