Organ Focus & VCM Tech

VCM Organ Engine: Yamaha’s proprietary Virtual Circuitry Modeling faithfully recreates classic organ circuitry, delivering warm and dynamic tones with detailed control over elements like key click and leakage.
VCM Rotary Speaker: Two modeled rotary speaker profiles—one clean, one gritty—with adjustable speed and balance for vintage-inspired nuance.
FM Organ Mode: Drawbars control an 8-operator FM synth engine, conditioned for deep low-end and unique tonal experimentation.

Keyboard & Control Layout

Waterfall Semi-weighted Keys: 61 keys with an organ-style waterfall profile for seamless glissando and expressive dynamic control.
Physical Drawbars: Nine transparent LED-equipped drawbars replicate traditional organ toggles and offer visual clarity in split mode.
Intuitive Interface: Dedicated knobs, buttons, and sliders for direct access—no menu diving. Includes 9 FX processors and seamless Live Set switching.
