❍ON CLICK LEVEL (0–31)

Specifies the level of the click sound that occurs when a key is pressed (On). Increasing this value will increase the volume.

❍OFF CLICK LEVEL (0–31)

Specifies the level of the click sound that occurs when a key is released (Off). Increasing this value will increase the volume.

❍PERCUSSION SOFT LEVEL (0–15)

Sets the percussion volume when percussion is set to Soft (the [SOFT] button’s indicator is lit). Increasing this value will increase the volume of percussion.

❍PERCUSSION NORMAL LEVEL (0–15)

Sets the percussion volume when percussion is set to Normal (the [SOFT] button’s indicator is dark). Increasing this value will increase the volume of percussion.

❍PERCUSSION SLOW TIME (0–127)

Sets the speed at which the percussion sound will decay when percussion is set to Slow (the [SLOW] button’s indicator is lit). Increasing this value causes the percussion to decay more slowly.

❍PERCUSSION FAST TIME (0–127)

Sets the speed at which the percussion sound will decay when percussion is set to Fast (the [SLOW] button’s indicator is dark). Increasing this value causes the percussion to decay more slowly.

❍PERCUSSION RECHARGE TIME (0–10)

Specifies the percussion charge time that determines the time from when the keys are released until percussion is recharged. Increasing this value will increase the time necessary for percussion to recharge, causing the percussion sound to be smaller for rapidly repeated notes.

On tone wheel organs, percussion was produced by an analog circuit. This meant that if only a very short time elapsed from when the keys were released until the next key was pressed, the percussion circuit was unable to recharge fully, and the percussion sound that was added would therefore be lower in volume. This also meant that even if legato was broken during a rapid trill, etc., an appropriate amount of percussion was added. The percussion charge time parameter adjusts this charge time.
