Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
Category | Tone category |
Type | The tone type |
Vib/Cho Sw | Vibrato/chorus on/off |
Vib/Cho Type | Amount of vibrato/chorus is applied V-1: vibrato (weak) V-2: vibrato (moderate) V-3: vibrato (strong) C-1: chorus (weak) C-2: chorus (moderate) C-3: chorus (strong) |

Exp Curve | Expression pedal depth for the tone NORMAL: This curve offers greater changes in volume according to the expression pedal angle, and is suitable for songs with a wider dynamic range. SOFT: This curve applies expression pedal changes to the volume more gradually, and is suitable for songs with a more limited dynamic range. |
Percussion
Parameter | Explanation |
---|---|
SW | Percussion sound on/off |
Volume | NORM: The percussion sound is at the normal level, and the harmonic bar sounds are softer. SOFT: The percussion sound is softer, and the harmonic bars are at the normal level. |
Decay | SLOW: The percussion sound fades out slowly, making the attack portion sound smoother. FAST: The percussion sound fades out quickly, giving the sound a sharp attack. |
Harmonic | 2ND: A percussion sound plays at the same pitch as the 4′ harmonic bar. 3RD: A percussion sound plays at the same pitch as the 2 2/3′ harmonic bar. |
Recharge Time | The percussion charge time from the moment you release the keyboard until the percussion is recharged |
MEMOWhat is “percussion recharge time”? On tonewheel organs, the percussion sound is created by analog circuitry. For this reason, if the time between releasing a key and pressing the next key is extremely short, the percussion circuit doesn’t fully recharge, resulting in a softer percussion sound. This offers a percussion sound that connects the notes in a natural way, even when you’re playing rapid trills (for example) and there are brief breaks in your legato playing. Use the percussion recharge time parameter to set this recharge time. | |
H.Bar Level | The volume of the harmonic bars when PERCUSSION [SOFT] is off Larger values make the percussion sound less likely to occur with the sound of the harmonic bars. |
Soft Level | The volume of the percussion sound when PERCUSSION [SOFT] is on Higher values produce a louder percussion sound. |
Norm Level | The volume of the percussion sound when PERCUSSION [SOFT] is off Higher values produce a louder percussion sound. |
Slow Time | The time it takes for the percussion sound to decay when PERCUSSION [SLOW] is on The higher the value, the longer it takes for the percussion sound to fade out. |
Fast Time | The time it takes for the percussion sound to decay when PERCUSSION [SLOW] is off The higher the value, the longer it takes for the percussion sound to fade out. |
