Drawbar 1, Drawbar 2

Drawbar 1 is at the left, and Drawbar 2 at the right. Each bar is assigned a pitch (footage), and you can adjust the volume of that pitch by pulling the bar toward yourself. The overall character of the sound is determined by how far each bar is pulled out.

In EX mode, Drawbar 2 is used to control EX Drawbar and EX Percussion. For details, refer to “Playing the BX-3” (p.13).
