Here it is, our interpretation of the „Legendary Tonewheel Organ“, a drawbar organ with a gripping sound. She purrs, whispers, smacks, growls and screams, just as we know it from the original. We call this Queen of musical instruments our „Legend". Hardly any other musical instrument has touched us personally so much over the decades of our musical life. Therefore, it is a matter of the utmost importance for us KApros to publish this multisamples based sound library set. All Voices and Registrations of the KApro Legendary Tonewheel Organ“ Library Set are ready to use. Get the KApro spirit with the „KApro Legendary Tonewheel Organ“ Library Set an absolute MUST HAVE for every YAMAHA GENOS user! The „KApro Legendary Tonewheel Organ“ Library Set offers you a sound set

• seven hundred and thirty-four (734) Voices,
• sixty-six (66) Registration Banks with a total of six hundred and forty (640) Registrations and
• Multisamples and samples with a total size of 418 MB (if all seven Expansion Pack files are installed together)

for the YAMAHA GENOS. All multisamples and samples were recorded in stereo. To fully benefit from the „KApro Legendary Tonewheel Organ“ Library Set all seven Expansion Pack files must be installed. Of course, it is also possible to install individual Expansion Pack files. As with the Legend“, all Voices of the „KApro Legendary Tonewheel Organ“ Library Set are limited to five octaves, i.e. sixty-one (61) keys. "Joystick Modulation (+)" is intended for volume change in all Voices and thus supports the dynamic playing style of the "Legend“. The „KApro Legendary Tonewheel Organ“ Library Set is based on 103 registrations of our "Legend". In addition to the regular programming of these registrations, numerous variations of the regular registrations are contained. The mentioned variations of the regular registrations are based on different realizations of the vibrato or chorus-vibrato effect of the "Legend“. KApro has selected the following alternatives:

• no vibrato effect or chorus-vibrato effect;
• slight vibrato, comparable to the "V2" setting of the „Legend“, abbreviated to „V“in the Voice name;
• stronger vibrato, comparable to the „V3“ setting of the der „Legend“, abbreviated to „V+“ in the Voice name;
• chorus-vibrato effect, similar to the „C3“ setting of the „Legend“, abbreviated to „C“ in the Voice name.

It should be noted that overlaying a regular registration with its „V“ variation results in a chorus-vibrato effect that imitates the „Legend's“ "C2" setting. If a regular registration and its „V+“ variation are superimposed, this leads to a chorus-vibrato effect which comes close to the setting "C3" of the „Legend“. Other variations of the regular registrations which are independent of the vibrato or chorus vibrato-effects are based on the realization of the percussion effects. In contrast to the „Legend“ the YAMAHA GENOS provides multi-triggered percussion, such as it is the case in the more modern instruments of the „Legend's“ manufacturer. KApro has selected the following percussion effects alternatives:

• no percussion;
• "3rd Percussion Fast", abbreviated by „3F in the Voice name;
• "2nd Percussion Fast", abbreviated by „2F in the Voice name;
• "3rd Percussion Slow", abbreviated by „3S in the Voice name;
• "2nd Percussion Slow", abbreviated by „2S in the Voice name.

All Voices use the insert effect "Dual Rotary Speaker 1". This effect mimics the character of a rotary loudspeaker, which can be operated at a slow or a fast rotation speed. The rotation speed can be varied by pressing the ...

... above the joystick of the YAMAHA GENOS.  It should be noted that the „Legend“ switches off the Sifflute (1') drawbar when a percussion effect is activated. However, it has been a common modification of the „Legend“ to bypass this switching off feature of the „Legend“ and thus simultaneously activate the Sifflute (1') drawbar and the percussion effect. Each of the total of six hundred and forty (640) registrations contained in the „KApro Legend REGISTRATIONS“ Expansion Pack file uses four of the seven hundred and thirty-four (734) new voices (RIGHT1, RIGHT2, RIGHT3, LEFT), a MULTI PAD registration, and a Style.  In general, the Registrations use the insert effect „Real Rotary“ instead of the "Dual Rotary Speaker 1" effect. The „Real Rotary“ effect also mimics the character of a rotary loudspeaker, which can be operated at a slow or a fast rotation speed. The rotation speed can be varied by pressing the ...
