Roland VK-8 owner manual MIDI-related Settings, When setting things other than the Midi channel

Advanced Use

❍PERCUSSION H-BAR LEVEL (0–127)

Adjusts the volume of the harmonic bars when percussion is normal (the [SOFT] button’s indicator is dark). As this value is increased, the sound of the harmonic bars will be less affected by the percussion.

On tone wheel organs, turning the percussion on would lower the overall volume specified by the harmonic bars. This is because the percussion on tone wheel organs was designed not to impair the volume balance of the entire organ. The VK-8 allows you to adjust this change in volume balance.
