Generator Model – The VB3 CE 2 software is able to model 22 different tonewheel
organs. The settings are based on measurements taken from specific organs of different
models and dates of manufacture. Changing the Tonewheel Generator Set is like choosing
to use a different organ. When the Tonewheel Generator Set is changed, none of the other
parameters or EQ settings are changed. Any apparent differences in sound are solely a
result of the different measurements from the organ on which the tonewheel set is based.
VB3CE2 can model anyone's specific tonewheel organ. Users can import a file that
contains the information to add a custom generator to the tonewheel list.
The definition file is a plain text ASCII file that must contain 92 lines. The first line must be
a literal string of max. 128 characters. This string must contain the name of the custom
generator to be displayed onto the interface. The following 91 lines must contain the
values expressed in milliVolt peak-to-peak as measured from the corresponding 91
terminals of the tonewheel generator of the original organ. These values must be a real
number with the dot as the decimal separator. For example, if tonewheel n. 1 has an
amplitude of 66,5 mVpp, the number to be added to the file must
be “66.5”. If the number is not in the expected format, the program won't load the file. If
more than 92 lines are found in the file, or if unexpected characters are found where
decimal numbers are expected, the program won't load the file.
Once you click the IMPORT button on the interface, you are requested to load the file from
drive D (the USB memory stick). The file must have the .txt extension. If the file loads
successfully, the new generator will be added to the list as the generator n.21. In order to
have the changes retained after the reboot, you have to click the STORE button. Unless
the STORE function is used, all the changes are temporary.
