The AIR Organ is a plugin instrument designed to emulate the sound of vintage organs, featuring "Advanced Drawbar Organ" synthesis. It includes 10 distinct tone-wheel sets, derived from authentic vintage organs, and incorporates the award-winning AIR Rotary Speaker Simulation. This user guide provides comprehensive instructions on how to install, operate, and utilize the various features of the plugin.
To install the AIR Organ plugin, users must first download either the .exe (for Windows) or .pkg (for macOS) file and follow the on-screen instructions. After installation, the plugin application needs to be opened. Users are then required to sign into their inMusic Brands Profile via their Internet browser. If a profile doesn't exist, they will be prompted to create one. Once signed in, the plugin can be activated by entering a serial key in the plugin window. Each serial key allows activation on up to three devices. For users without a serial key, a "Try Unlicensed" option is available, which allows exploration of the plugin with intermittent audio alerts. Alternatively, a "10-Day Trial" can be initiated for a free, fully featured trial. Serial keys can be purchased from profile.inmusicbrands.com.
The plugin's interface includes a "Setup Section" with several key controls. The "Keyboard" icon enables or disables a virtual keyboard, allowing users to input notes or view notes played on an external MIDI device. The "Tempo" display shows the current plugin tempo, which can be adjusted by clicking the number and inputting a new value, dragging the value up or down, or by clicking the "Tap" button at regular intervals.
The "Settings" window, accessible via an icon, offers various parameters for configuration. The "Output" drop-down menu allows selection of an audio hardware driver, with a "Test" button to play a test tone for checking audio output settings (users are advised to lower volume beforehand). "Sample Rate" allows users to select the desired sample rate for their project, depending on their MPC hardware or audio interface (e.g., 96000 Hz if supported). "Audio Buffer Size" controls the audio system's latency; lower values provide more immediate response but consume more CPU, potentially causing clicks and pops in larger projects, while higher values are more CPU-friendly but introduce more delay. Users are encouraged to experiment to find the optimal setting. "Active MIDI Inputs" displays available MIDI input devices, which can be enabled by checking the box next to their name. "Bluetooth MIDI" opens the system's Bluetooth settings menu for selecting a Bluetooth-enabled MIDI device.
The "Menu" icon provides additional options: "Scale" to adjust the plugin window size, "Load Preset" and "Save Preset" for managing presets, "Open User Guide" to access this manual, and "About" to view plugin version information. A "Preset" drop-down menu allows users to select from included presets or navigate through them using adjacent up and down arrows.
The AIR Organ plugin features distinct control sections for "Organ" parameters and "Effects" parameters, toggled by an "Effects" button. Global controls include a "Level" parameter, which adjusts the overall volume from -inf to +6.0 dB.
The "Drawbars" are a central feature, accessible via an icon at the top of the organ control panel. There are nine drawbars, each altering the mix of harmonics to shape the sound. The '8' drawbar represents the pitch fundamental, '16' and '5 1/3' represent sub-harmonics, and '4', '2 2/3', '2', '1 3/5', '1 1/3', and '1' represent higher-order harmonics. Each drawbar can be pulled in or out, with '0' (fully in) producing no sound and '8' (fully out) producing the loudest sound, allowing for dynamic performance adjustments.
Other organ parameters include:
The "Rotary" section simulates a rotary speaker.
The "Percussion" section adds a percussive effect to the sound.
The "Effects" view provides control over EQ, Delay, and Reverb.
