2:1 OSC 1 (08: Organ Model)

08: Organ Model

This is an oscillator used to produce organ-type sounds. The oscillator simulates three drawbars similar to electric organs of the past.

You can specify the footage [Harmo] and waveform setting for each drawbar, allowing a wide range of sounds to be created.

2–1a: Drawbar 1

Wave

[Sine 1, Sine 2, Sine 3, Triangle]

Specifies the waveform for drawbar 1. Sine 1 contains only the fundamental (i.e., a pure sine wave). Sine 2 and Sine 3 are waveforms which contain the first two and the first three harmonics respectively.

Coarse (Harmonics Coarse)

[1…16]

Specifies the pitch of drawbar 1, relative to one octave below the oscillator pitch.

Fine (Harmonics Coarse Fine)

[–99…+99]

Makes fine adjustments to the pitch of drawbar 1.

Level

[0…99]

Specifies the volume level of drawbar 1.

AMS (Alternate Modulation Source)

[OFF…MIDI (CC#83)]

Selects a modulation source (page 64 of this manual) that will control the “Level” of drawbar 1.

Intensity (Level AMS Intensity)

[–99…+99]

Specifies the depth and direction of the effect of “AMS.1.”

Synthesizer specifications

Korg synthesizers have established themselves as a powerhouse in the music production landscape, combining cutting-edge technology with user-friendly features to cater to musicians, producers, and sound designers alike. These iconic instruments have continuously evolved since the company’s inception in 1963, embodying innovation and quality.

One of the defining features of Korg synthesizers is their diverse range of models which cater to different musical styles and needs. From the grand M1 synthesizer that popularized MIDI in the late 1980s to the more recent Minilogue and Prologue, each model presents unique capabilities. The Minilogue offers a straightforward interface and powerful four-voice polyphony, ideal for both novices and seasoned musicians. In contrast, the Prologue, with its advanced circuitry and multi-engine technology, provides extensive sound design possibilities.

Korg synthesizers are known for their rich sound engines. Many models utilize the proprietary EDS (Enhanced Definition Synthesis) technology, which delivers detailed and dynamic sounds. Users can expect a broad sonic palette, facilitating everything from lush pads to biting leads. The multi-engine architecture found in the Prologue adds another layer of versatility, allowing for the integration of wavetable and FM synthesis alongside traditional analog sounds.

Another key characteristic of Korg synthesizers is their connectivity options. Most models are equipped with MIDI, USB, and audio outputs, making them easy to integrate into any studio setup or live performance rig. The ability to control virtual instruments and external devices through MIDI enhances the functionality of Korg synthesizers, enabling seamless integration into modern production environments.

Korg emphasizes portability with many of its synthesizers. The compact design of products like the Volca series allows musicians to create music on the go, making them ideal for traveling artists. Each Volca unit houses powerful synthesis technology within a small footprint, ensuring that users don’t sacrifice quality for convenience.

Korg also recognizes the importance of community and education in music production. The company frequently updates its synthesizers with new patches, features, and sound libraries, empowering users to keep their sounds fresh and relevant. Additionally, Korg offers various online resources, tutorials, and forums to support their users in exploring the full potential of their synthesizers.

Overall, Korg synthesizers encapsulate a balance of tradition and innovation. With their rich sound engines, user-friendly interfaces, and extensive connectivity options, they remain a favorite among musicians and producers seeking to push the boundaries of their sound. As technology progresses, Korg continues to set new standards in the world of synthesizers, inspiring creativity and musical exploration.
