Adding Sparkle to the Sound (Percussion)

Percussion adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to give the sound more

crispness. The attack sound changes according to the value.

The percussion on tone wheel organs did not apply to all notes that were played. When notes

were played legato (smoothly and connectedly), percussion was applied only to the first-played

note. When notes were played staccato (articulating each note separately), percussion was

applied to all notes. This method is referred to as single trigger algorithm, and is a very important

element in organ performance. On the FP-7 faithfully simulates this characteristic.
