Multiple Models for Distinct Tone and Character

Using cutting-edge modeling technology, the Ventura TX5 gives you 5 different organ models, for maximum performance versatility. The organ models - Clean, Classic, Heavenly, Dirty, and Metallic - are just the beginning, though. The TX5 Classic features an unbelievable level of parameter control, storable per program. For that reason, the TX5 Classic is less like having just one organ - and more like have 32 organs in one. The Clean, Classic, Heavenly, and Dirty models re-create varying degrees of tone and character, each with a unique characteristic, such as tonewheel leakage, to differentiate it. The Metallic model turns modeling on its ear, though, simulating a transistor organ tone within a tonewheel model

Customize Your Sound with Versatile Parameters

No 2 tonewheel organs sound exactly alike, and players are very particular about their organ sound. There are always subtle differences in tone, as some organs have a "clean" sound while others experience "Leakage", the tendency for a magnetic pickup to detect surrounding tonewheels. Percussion and key click vary from one organ to the next. Many other "clonewheel" organs attempt to offer control over these tonal variables, but often limit the amount of parameters. Instead, the Ventura TX5 Classic gives you the power to customize your sound in a more realistic manner possible. To this end, all of the organ parameters on the TX5 are fine-tunable, and storable per program, providing ultimate tonal flexibility

The Ventura Keyboards Story

While the name "Ventura" may be new, the brains behind Ventura Keyboards have more than 3 decades of expertise behind them in building church organs. Based in Brazil - born of Kyodday Musical Instruments, maker of Tokai Organs - Ventura is their lineup of first-class performance keyboards, designed to bring the sought-after sound of classic organs under the fingertips of pro musicians. All of Ventura's know-how manifests in their first professional performance instrument: the TX5 Classic. Marrying classic organ sensibility and style with cutting-edge object modeling technology, this "clonewheel" is one of the best-sounding, "stage-ready" tonewheel-style organs available
