Using Drawbar Organ Tones

D-1 D-3

D-4- D-12

Your Digital Keyboard comes with drawbar organ tones built in that you can use for mixing waveform ratios, just like a drawbar organ. The nine sliders, which correspond to drawbars, can be used to change harmonic overtone level settings and to create sounds by adding percussion and click sounds in real time as you play. A button is also provided to switch the rotary effect between fast and slow.

You also can edit parameters that are unique to drawbar organ tones to create and store your own original user drawbar organ tones.

■About the drawbars

The nine sliders from D-4 (16') through D-12 (1') perform the role of the drawbars of a drawbar organ. Each slider is assigned a harmonic overtone from 16' through 1'*.

*The prime symbol (') following a value such as 16' represents a “length” in feet.

3.Use the dial or the R-14 (–, +) buttons to change the number and select the tone you want.

•Selecting a tone changes the tone number and tone name on the display, and also changes the level meter to reflect the harmonic overtone levels for the selected tone.

•Tone numbers L:051 through L:100 are user drawbar organ tones. See “Editing Drawbar Organ Tones” (page E-52) for more information.

4.Now you can play on the keyboard using the tone you selected.

•You can adjust the harmonic overtone levels of drawbar organ tones in real time as you play. See “Adjusting a Drawbar Organ Tone in Real Time” (page E-51) for more information.
