76-key waterfall keyboard, dedicated physical harmonic bars, and bender controller
The V-Combo has 4 tone wheel models for recreating authentic tone wheel organ sounds:
Vintage 1 replicates the sound of 1970's tone wheel organs, which still have the aged character, but without so much of the noise often
associated with older organs.
Vintage 2 replicates the sound of 1960's tone wheel organs which are many times a bit road worn and dirty, so they have developed tonal
characteristics such as "leakage" which some players seek.
Solid boosts the low range by adding low frequencies to the VINTAGE 1 tone wheel so you get the boom in the low end, but still maintain
the tonal character in the mids and highs.
Clean models a tone wheel with no leakage noise. Probably the best representation of a brand new harmonic bar organ.
76-key waterfall keyboard, dedicated physical harmonic bars, and bender controller
Real physical harmonic bars allow for instant tone control, just like traditional tone wheel organs
playing of glissandos, rips and smears. Split and layer capabilities allow for sounds from the organ section and ensemble section to be
stacked and split throughout the key bed. Bender control gives player ability to control speed variations of the rotary speaker just by moving
the pitch bend to the left or right. Push away from you and trigger tone wheel brake.
With enhanced COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) amp simulator, choosing the appropriate amp to suit your playing style is easy.
5 different amp types are available to choose from:
Type 1 has the characteristics of a frequently used rotary speaker. Very clean and clear which makes it preferred in jazz performances.
Type 2 is a large stack-type vacuum tube amp often used in British hard rock of the 1970's and still used by hard rock guitarist today.
Favored by rock keyboardist like Jon Lord.
Type 3 has the characteristics of a popular rotary speaker type used in performance, but with a darker and dirtier sound that Type 1.
Type 4 is a rotary speaker with distortion where the distortion amount can be changed significantly using the GAIN knob. Perfect if you
want your sound to have some crunch, especially in the low end.
Type 5 is very similar to Type 4, but instead of giving you crunch just to the low end, it brings out more overdrive in the mid to high end for
a throaty tone - great for rockin' solos.
There are 275 ensemble sounds like RD-class pianos, vintage EPs, synth leads, and expressive strings inside the V-Combo, giving you all of
the crucial sounds needed for any gig. The V-Combo also features patch remain, which allows the player to seamlessly switch sounds
without any glitching of sound decay or effects.
Rhythm pattern/WAV/AIFF/MP3/SMF playback function for backing tracks
With the on-board rhythm and song player, you can drag and drop multiple audio files such as WAV/AIFF/MP3 and SMF to any USB flash
drive or you can also choose from any of the 51 rhythm patterns and recall them instantly for live performance.
