For details on what is assigned to each bar, refer to “Using the Drawbar 1 and 2 settings” (p.13).

In EX mode, pressing the [DISPLAY] key once while

Normal Perc DB ATT (Normal Percussion Drawbar

Attenuation)

[0...99]

This decreases the level of the sound created by the Drawbar 2 bars or the "UPPER " parameters when the percussion is set to normal (the [SOFT] key is dark). This allows the percussion effect to become more pronounced, without increasing the overall volume.

[0...99]

This sets the decay speed when the [FAST] key of the PERCUSSION section is at the fast setting (key LED lit).

Perc Slow Offset (Percussion Slow Offset)
