Using the Drawbar Organ Mode

Editing Synthesizer Mode Parameters and DSP Parameters of Drawbar Tones

As with standard (non-drawbar) tones, you can edit the Synthesizer Mode parameters and DSP parameters of drawbar organ tones. See “Drawbar Organ Mode Operational Flow” on page E-21.

1Use the [￿] and [￿] CURSOR buttons to display “More?”, and then press the [￿] CURSOR button.

This enters the Synthesizer Mode, which is indicated by the indicator next to SYNTH on the display screen.

For the remainder of this procedure, perform the steps starting from step 3 under “Creating a User Tone” on page E-46.

Parameter Details

The following provides details about the parameters you can configure using the drawbar organ tone editing screen.

Drawbar Position

This parameter defines the position of each drawbar, and the volume of each overtone. The larger the value, the greater the corresponding overtone’s volume.

Percussion

This parameter lets you add percussion sound, which provides modulation to sustained tones that you create. When you hold down a key on the keyboard, the sound produced decays until it is no longer audible. Pressing the key again sounds the note again at a louder volume. Percussion has “2nd Percussion” (2nd overtone pitch) and “3rd Percussion” (3rd overtone pitch) settings, each of which can be turned on or off.

You can also specify the percussion decay time, which controls how long it takes for the percussion sound to decay.
