The new V5 tone wheel organ module is the latest in a series of highly accurate B-3 tone wheel organ simulators. The V5 uses the latest generation of Voce's Digital Tonewheel technology. This is the same technology used in their top of the line V3 Tone wheel organ synthesizer.
The V5 combines a handy MIDI Drawbar controller and the tone generator architecture of the V3 Tone Wheel Organ Synthesizer into one compact sound module the same size as the MIDI Drawbar. This is all made possible by utilizing the latest integrated circuit technology to design a new tone generator chip that squeezes more features into a smaller space than was previously possible. The result is a great sounding module in a compact package, at a great low price.
The V5 features an intuitive, easy-to-use interface including all essential controls for playing a tone wheel organ. There are no complicated multifunction controls or complicated programming schemes. Instead, there are straightforward controls for Volume, Key Click, Overdrive, and Tone Wheel Leakage, as well as Chorus, Vibrato, and Percussion settings. The V5 also lets you save up to 7 programs consisting of drawbar settings, effects, and split settings - all making the V5 the ultimate "performance" tone wheel organ module. Just attach it close to your keyboard, hook it up to your sound system and play. Imagine that!
