To access the Cabinet page, click the Cabinet button. The Cabinet page provides the controls pertaining to the rotating speaker cabinet and the organ’s tube preamp. These controls determine the overall tone of the instrument.
The Input section contains the level controls for the external input (using the preamp and rotating speaker simulation as an effect for other signals in Pro Tools) and the organ’s signal.
Increasing either of these inputs to very high levels drives the tube pre-amp harder, sometimes leading to pleasant (or not-so-pleasant) distortion.
Sets the volume of incoming signal when DB-33 is used as an insert effect.
Sets the volume of the tone generator signal before it enters the pre-amp. If you’re hearing unwanted distortion, try turning this control down.The control is set to MIDI CC 11, an expression pedal, to emulate the volume pedal used for expressive purposes on many classic organs.
The Tube Pre-amp section offers control over the preamplifier that precedes the rotating speaker cabinet.
Effects the tonal balance of the signal. Turned to the left, the lows are cut, and high and midrange harmonics are emphasized. Turned to the right, lows are boosted and highs are cut.
Sets the amount of gain in the pre-amp, ranging from clean to distorted.
Sets the amount of treble roll-off. Used in conjunction with the Character control (set to a low value), it creates a mid-heavy but not treble-boosted tone.
The Mics section controls the balance between the high and low-end speakers in the rotating speaker cabinet, and the stereo separation of the rotating speaker’s movement.
Controls the mix between the low-end speaker (drum) and the high-end speaker (horn).
Sets the angle, and thus, the stereo response of the two virtual “mics” that pick up the organ’s signal. Fully left, the mics are placed at 90 degrees from each other. Fully right, the mics are placed at 180 degrees from each other, accentuating the motion of the signal as the horn spins.
The Speed Control section affects the rotating speaker cabinet’s speed of rotation, and the time it takes to change between speed modes.
A duplicate of the switch on the Organ page, it is present here for ease of testing speed modes while setting other parameters.
Sets the speed of speaker rotation when the rotation speed switch is set to Slow mode.
Sets the speed of speaker rotation when the rotation speed switch is set to Fast mode.
Sets the amount of time it takes for the rotating speaker to move from one speed to another.
