Detailed Settings for Each Function (EDIT)

Organ Settings for Registrations

(REGISTRATION ORGAN)

Organ Volume (0–127)

This changes the volume level of the organ part. This setting performs the same function as the panel [ORGAN VOLUME] knob.

Organ Octave Shift (-2–+2)

This changes the pitch of the organ part in octave units.

Setting the Percussion Decay Speed

Percussion Slow Time (0–127)

Sets the speed at which the percussion sound will decay when percussion is set to Slow (the [SLOW] button’s indicator is lit).

Percussion Fast Time(0–127)

Sets the speed at which the percussion sound will decay when percussion is set to Fast (the [SLOW] button’s indicator is dark). Increasing this value causes the percussion to decay more slowly.

Organ Fine Tune (-50–+50)

This adjusts the pitch of the organ part in cent (1/100 semitone) units.

Setting the Leakage Noise Volume

Leakage Level (0–127)

This sets the volume of the leakage noise. The volume increases as the value is raised.

When the wheel type is set to “VINTAGE1, VINTAGE2,” the leakage noise is never completely eliminated, even when the value is set to the minimum.

Setting the Click Sound Level

Key On Click Level (0–31)

Specifies the level of the click sound that occurs when a key is pressed (On). Increasing this value will increase the volume.

Key Off Click Level (0–31)

Specifies the level of the click sound that occurs when a key is released (Off). Increasing this value will increase the volume.

Setting the Percussion Volume Level

Percussion Soft Level (0–15)

Sets the percussion volume when percussion is set to Soft (the [SOFT] button’s indicator is lit). Increasing this value will increase the volume of percussion.

Percussion Norm Level (0–15)

Sets the percussion volume when percussion is set to Normal (the [SOFT] button’s indicator is dark). Increasing this value will increase the volume of percussion.

Setting the Charge Time of the Percussion

Percussion Recharge Time (0–10)

Specifies the percussion charge time that determines the time from when the keys are released until percussion is recharged. Increasing this value will increase the time necessary for percussion to recharge, causing the percussion sound to be smaller for rapidly repeated notes.

What is the Percussion Recharge Time?

On tone wheel organs, percussion was produced by an analog circuit. This meant that if only a very short time elapsed from when the keys were released until the next key was pressed, the percussion circuit was unable to recharge fully, and the percussion sound that was added would therefore be lower in volume. This also meant that even if legato was broken during a rapid trill, etc., an appropriate amount of percussion was added. The percussion recharge time parameter adjusts this charge time.

Adjusting the H-Bar Volume Level When Percussion is Normal

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 VR-760 allows you to adjust this change in volume balance.
