3. DRAWBAR section

Drawbar 1, Drawbar 2

By pulling individual bars toward yourself you can create different sounds corresponding to the “shape” of the bars.

To play using Drawbar 1 and Drawbar 2, refer to “Play using the drawbars” (p.8).

In Normal mode and Normal Edit mode, the sound is determined by the nine bars of either set, Drawbar 1 or 2. For more about the sound that is assigned to each drawbar, refer to “1. How the drawbars work” (p.27).

In EX Mode and EX Edit mode, the sound is deter- mined by the total of eighteen bars of both sets, Drawbar 1 and 2.

The bars of Drawbar 1 are used to create the sound in the same way as in Normal mode or Normal Edit mode. For more about the sound that is assigned to each drawbar, refer to “1. How the drawbars work” (p.27).

For Drawbar 2, you will use the EX Drawbars and EX Percussion drawbars to create the sound. For more about the sound that is assigned to each drawbar, refer to the EX mode section in “Play using the drawbars” (p.9), the EX Edit mode section “EX Drawbar Type” parameter (p.18), Global mode parameters “Type 1 Ex Drawbar 1” through “Type 4 Ex Drawbar 4” (p.26), and “3. Voice name list” (p.31).
