KeyB Solo - Everything you need and nothing you don't...

  • LATEST IN MODELING TECHNOLOGY
    The KeyB Solo uses our own "Instrument Modeling Technology™." With IMT you hear an exact clone of the classic tonewheel organ. The result is the natural sound of tonewheels that can't be obtained when using long loop samples. IMT provides the best reproduction of the sound produced by a tonewheel organ, including cross talk, tonewheel flutter, electric hum and octave tapers.

  • ALL NEW ROTARY SIMULATION
    Maybe you don't have or it's not convenient to take a rotary speaker with you. Don't worry! The new SPEED Rotary Simulation is the most realistic. It's so good you'll have to look twice to see where the rotors are. This is because of the IMT engine.

  • EASY TO PLAY
    When you sit down at the KeyB Solo, all you have to do is turn it on and play. Everything you need and are familiar with, on the classic tonewheel organ, is there right where it belongs. No confusing menus or LCD screens full of features that you most likely don't or won't use. It's an organ.

  • WATERFALL KEYBOARDS
    Along with the best sound and being easy to play, the KeyB Solo uses a heavy-duty 61-note keyboard with the feel of an organ, not a synthesizer or portable keyboard. If you play pedals, then you can purchase the optional 25 full-sized console pedals. The KeyB pedals are heavy-duty and are same radius as the classic tonewheel organs, making playing the pedals feel right.

  • FULL COMPLEMENT OF DRAWBARS
    If you have been playing a classic tonewheel organ, then you will feel at home with the KeyB. It has two sets of 9 drawbars and 2 pedal drawbars. Use SPLIT and play the organ like a two keyboard organ. You can even shift the the octave of the left of split for playing chords. Also, the pedals can be coupled to the first two octaves of the keyboard.

  • HARMONIC TOUCH PERCUSSION
    Located right where they belong are the rocker tabs to control the 2nd and 3rd Harmonic Percussion. Soft and Normal Percussion Volume, Fast and Slow Percussion Attack. Everything you need.

  • SPLIT KEYBOARD VIBRATO AND CHORUS
    You can use Vibrato/Chorus independently or together just like the classic drawbar organ. Use the familiar rotary control to select all three Vibrato and Chorus settings.

  • EXTERNAL SPEAKER READY
    The KeyB can be connected to either a keyboard amplifier or if you need more power, connect it to an external rotary speaker via the line outs.

  • MIDI IMPLEMENTATION
    The KeyB Solo has MIDI output for the keyboard and the pedals. You can connect an external MIDI sound module, and with the touch of a button you can play with or without the organ sound.
