Adjusting the Sound in Real Time (Harmonic Bars)

The harmonic bars are controllers for creating the basic structure of the organ sound.

By sliding nine harmonic bars in and out you can create a variety of tonalities.

75%

The numbers appearing on the harmonic bars allow you to rapidly set the bars to the desired setting. If you push a harmonic bar inward until no number is visible, its volume will be “0,” and no sound will be heard. If you pull a harmonic bar all the way out, the volume will be at the maximum.

A sine wave (pure tone) of differing pitch is assigned to each of the harmonic bars, and you can create a variety of sounds by mixing these sine waves.

When percussion is on, the 1'

pitch will not be produced.
