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
Higher values indicate a longer charge time. The percussion sounds get softer when you play legato.

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.
