The noise includes both colored broad-band noise and
tone wheel leakage. The amount of leakage within the
noise is scaled by Leakage Level, described above.
Gate Type [Clean, Dirty]
This affects the sound character when notes are turned
on or off. It is similar in concept to Key Click, below,
but has a different timbral character.
Clean does not add any additional gate noise.
Dirty adds a small amount of noise at note-on and
note-off, for a small amount of extra punch. You can
also use this if you’re looking to duplicate the gate
timbre of the CX-3 and BX-3.
4–1c: Key Click
Pressing down or releasing a key on a tone wheel
organ can result in arcing between the contacts,
producing a characteristic “Key Click” sound. This
section models that effect.
Key-On Click Level [ 0…99]
This controls the amount of click noise at note-on.
Key-Off Click Level [0…99]
This controls the level of the click noise at note-off.

4–2a: Pitch Bend
JS+ X [-60…+12]
This sets the maximum amount of pitch bend, in
semitones, when you move the joystick to the right.
For normal pitch bend, set this to a positive value.
For example, if you set this to +12 and move the
joystick all the way to the right, the pitch will rise one
octave above the original pitch.
JS- X [-60…+12]
This sets the maximum amount of pitch bend, in
semitones, when you move the joystick to the left. For
normal pitch bend, set this to a negative value.
For example, if you set this to –60 and move the
joystick all the way to the left, the pitch will fall five
octaves below the original pitch.
4–2b: Expression
Expression adjusts both the volume level and the
amount of distortion. At lower Expression values, both
the low bass and high treble frequencies are slightly
