Clonewheel Army
A clonewheel organ
DESCRIPTION
An attempt at modelling some of the features of the famous tonewheel organs of the past. The models are all based on hearsay and guesswork, so no claim to authenticity, but it makes a good noise :)
There is a keyboard split with each side having its own set of drawbars and octave transpose.
Verb is courtesy of the factory spring tank.
Thanks to Chet Singer for the idea of how to use the voice shift module to enable full polyphony for the tonewheels.
Just a beta to get some reactions and feedback, to please comment, and post any thoughts in the "Organ Tone Wheel development" thread on the forum.
(It would be great to hear what this sounds like played by an actual competent keyboard player with some organ blues licks :-))
To do: (maybe or maybe never)
A GUI
a more accurate model of the scanner vibrato module
a more accurate model of the rotating speaker
better drive/distortion
tweak the click model to react to velocity
bleed between tonewheel pairs
better low frequency waveforms (shouldn't be sines)
version 0.02:
improvements in saturation/drive
added tone stack
added rudimentary drive motor modulation distortion
tweaked click model
