Enhanced Tone Wheel Modeling

• The VK-8 has full polyphony so all notes speak no matter how many you play.

• Unlike sample playback, the VK-8’s modeling technology gives you control over the

nuances and quirks that made the original B3 so musical:

Leakage: bleeding between tone wheel pickups.

Key Click: an electronic pop sound produced when the keys make contact.

Percussion: a pitched, percussive attack sound.

Overdrive: distortion produced by vacuum tube amps.

♦ These parameters are easily customized with front panel knobs and buttons.

Enhanced Rotary Speaker & Amp Simulator

• COSM amp modeling creates the distinctive characteristics of 3 classic organ amps.

• Custom design your own rotary speaker cabinet for each patch:
