Simply Organic (Simple Organ – Simple Preset Series)

Instructional Preset. A very simple but useful Organ preset showing how to use quantized Macro Control values as frequency multipliers on OCSs to create your own set of three customized partials from 1 to 8 for three OSCs along with a fixed fundamental and an extra control to add undertones. Timbre control lets you change the Spectral Balance of all OSCs in parallel and a Vibrato control brings in Vibrato on Y. The preset if fully rounded so no vibrato will be applied by fingerboard or Osmose key bend.

Instructions:
Set your partials and optional undertone a desired with Timbre setting also if desired. Set Vibrato to a non-zero value for it to be applied by Y – so this preset will kick in the vibrato on Osmose in the Aftertouch area.

Note: Formulas V, U, T S and R are used to output the OSCs at lightly different amplitudes. You can play with these formulas to adjust the amplitude output of each partial. There is also a bit of persistence applied to these formulas and Extended reverb is used. If you want a larger church reverb you can increase the Persistence amounts and also play with Reverb mix.

Macro Controllers.

i = Partial1 (Partial applied to 2nd OSC from 1 = unison to 8th partial). OSC1 is always the fundamental. Set this to minimum to match the fundamental.

ii = Partial2 (Partial applied to 3rd OSC from 1
= unison to 8th partial). OSC1 is always the fundamental. Set this to minimum to match the fundamental.

iii = Partial3 (Partial applied to 4th OSC from 1 = unison to 8th partial). OSC1 is always the fundamental. Set this to minimum to match the fundamental.

iv = Partial4 (Partial applied to 5th OSC from 1 = unison to 8th partial). OSC1 is always the fundamental. Set this to minimum to match the fundamental.

v = Timbre (Adjusts the spectral balance of all OScs in parallel from Min [sine tone] to Max [.75 = sawtooth like]).

vi = Vibrato (Adjusts both the speed and width of the vibrato). Kicks in on Osmose Aftertouch. On Continuum is shelved so bottom of Y never applies vibrato (concession to try and make preset portable for Continuum and Osmose). Vibrato will become wider as Y increases. You can adjust this width in the W component of formula F. Speed of vibrato is adjusted by formula G up to 8 Hz. You can change W in that formula to regulate max vibrato speed.

Surface:
X = Pitch (Fully rounded/quantized)
Y = Brings in vibrato, increasing vibrato width as Y increases (shelved for Continuum use so kicks in on Osmose a bit after the Aftertouch area starts).
Z = Volume
