1. Keyboard: Click this icon to enable or disable the virtual keyboard. When enabled, you can click these keys to
input notes, or view notes being played on an external MIDI device.
2. Tempo: Displays the current plugin tempo. To change the tempo:
• Click the number and use your keyboard to input a new value.
• Click and drag the tempo value up or down using your cursor.
• Click the Tap button at regular intervals.
3. Settings: Click this icon to open the Settings window, where you can set the following parameters:
• Output: Click this drop-down menu to select an audio hardware driver in your computer system. Click the
Test button to play a test tone for checking your audio output settings. (Careful! You should lower the
volume on your audio system beforehand.)
• Sample Rate: Click this drop-down menu to select the desired sample rate for your project. This depends
on the available sample rates of the type of MPC hardware you are using or of your audio interface (i.e.,
select 96000 Hz only if your interface allows a 96 kHz sample rate).
• Audio Buffer Size: Click this drop-down menu to set your audio system’s latency. Lower values result in a
more immediate playing response but also more CPU consumption. If you are working with larger projects,
this may cause audible clicks and pops. Higher values are more CPU-friendly but can produce more delay
between pressing a pad and hearing the corresponding sound. The ideal audio buffer size also depends on
your computer’s CPU performance. Experiment with this to find the best setting for your system.
• Active MIDI Inputs: Displays available MIDI input devices. To enable a device, check the box next to its
name.
• Bluetooth MIDI: Click this icon to open your system’s Bluetooth settings menu, where you can select a
Bluetooth-enabled MIDI device to control the plugin.

Organ

Parameter Description Value Range

Drawbars Click the Drawbars icon at the top of the organ control 0–8
panel to open an expanded view of the drawbars.
There are nine drawbars that can be used to change the
sound by altering the mix of harmonics making up each
note. The 8 drawbar represents the pitch fundamental; the
16 and 5 1/3 drawbars represent sub-harmonics; the 4, 2
2/3, 2, 1 3/5, 1 1/3, and 1 drawbars represent higher order
harmonics.
Each drawbar can be pulled in or out to adjust the level of
the harmonic in the overall mix. When pulled all the way in,
or off, the harmonic will produce no sound, and the level
will increase as you pull each drawbar out, from 1
(quietest) to 8 (loudest). Adjusting these drawbars as you
play will add dynamism to your performance.
