DRAWBAR

Drawbar sound parameters for each keyboard are set in this mode.

LOWER & UPPER PARTS

❶

ORGAN TYPES

Select the manual keyboard organ type.

A-100:

Simulates A-102 characteristic by using sound source on “B-3”.

B-3:

B-3 No. A27563

C-3:

C-3 No. C155596

Mellow:

With transparent sine waves

❷

ENVELOPE - ATTACK RATE

❸

ENVELOPE - RELEASE RATE

ese sets the envelope at ATTACK (key touch)/RELEASE (key release).

e setting range is CON (contact), 1 -- 15.

“CON” is the envelope of the reproduced Key Click with the Virtual Multi-Contacts.
1--15 are the Attacks by the general envelope generator. As the numeral value increases,

the rate becomes slow. (Rate:

e speed of the volume start up/drop.)

❹

ENVELOPE - CONTACT OFFSET

is is for adjusting the time for the contacts of the Virtual Multi-Contacts to perfectly

touch.

e setting range is -63 -- 0 -- +63, and the more the value increases the longer time it

takes.

❺

FOLD BACK - LOW

Sets the key-point from which the 16´ Drawbar folds back (= repeat the same octave on

the lower octaves of the keybo ard).

e bottom key on the keyboard is displayed as “1C”.

e setting range is 1C to 2C.

❻

FOLD BACK - HIGH

Sets the key from which the 1´ Drawbar folds back (= repeat the same octave on the

higher octaves).

e setting range is 4G to 5C.

NOTE: The Fold-back is possible not only with 1´ but also with 1

⁄

´, 1

⁄

´, 2´, 2

⁄

´ Drawbars.

❼

LEAK LEVEL OFFSET

Sets the total volume of the leakage tone.

e setting range is 0(silent) to 12 7(maximum).

❽

UPPER ZONE OCTAVE

Set the octave shift for the UPPER part.

e setting range is -2 to +2.

❾

UPPER ZONE LOW

❿

UPPER ZONE HIGH

Set the sounding range of the UPPER part with these two parameters.

KEY CLICK

On the traditional models such as B-3/C-3, a
noise occurred when keys were pressed and
released, due to the mechanical keying system
employed on the classic organs. That charac-
teristic is replicated here.

EXAMPLES OF KEY-CLICK SET-

TINGS

Simulation of classic multi-contact keyboard
B-3/C-3: AT = CON, RL = CON
Simulation of a PCM synthesizer to produce
the key-click only at ‘attack’: AT = CON, RL = 4
Slow envelope like a pipe-organ: AT = 15, RL
= 15

FOLD-BACK

As  the  number  of  the Tone  Wheels  was  lim-
ited on the B-3/C-3, the very highest and low-
est  pitches  “folded  back”  on  the  keyboards,
sounding the same octave twice in a row. This
function reproduces this characteristic.
On some earlier model, such as the A, BV, and
BC,  the  16´  Drawbar  would  continue  to  play
all the way down to the lowest C(1C). Newer
models such as X-66, X-77 and Concorde, how-
ever,  the  1´  Drawbar  would  continue  to  play
up  the  keyboard  to  the  next  to  the  highest
C(5C) on the keyboard.

TONE WHEEL SET

There are variations available for each virtual
Tone Wheel set of A-100, B-3, C-3 and Mellow.
(P. 161)

ENVELOPE

The variation of a sound over time, as is used in
sound synthesis.
