Program P6: Percussion
Percussion adds a pitched attack to the notes, for a
more crisp, punchy timbre. When you play legato,
percussion will only sound for the first note in the
phrase.
6–1: Percussion
6–1a: Percussion
Percussion [Off, On]
This toggles the Percussion section on and off.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to turn the Percussion on or
off. For a list of AMS sources, see “AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List” on page 967.
AMS Mode [Toggle, Momentary]
This determines the behavior of the Percussion AMS.
For details, see “AMS Mode” on page 218.
Percussion Assign [Lower, Upper]
This assigns the percussion to either the lower or
upper drawbars. The default is Upper. This allows you
to play a bass line with percussion.
If Split is Off, Percussion is automatically assigned to
the Upper drawbars.
6–1b: Level
Level [Soft, Loud]
This toggles the Percussion Level between Soft and
Loud. The actual volume levels are determined by the
Loud Level and Soft Level parameters, below.
Note that the Percussion Level parameter can also
affect the volume of the drawbars, as controlled by the
Loud Drawbar Attenuation parameter.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to switch the Percussion
Level between Soft and Loud. For a list of AMS
sources, see “AMS (Alternate Modulation Source) List”
on page 967.
AMS Mode [Toggle, Momentary]
This determines the behavior of the Level AMS. For
details, see “AMS Mode” on page 218.
Loud Level [00…99]
This sets the volume of the percussion when
Percussion Level is set to Loud.
Soft Level [00…99]
This sets the volume of the percussion when
Percussion Level is set to Soft.
Loud Drawbar Attenuation [00…99]
On traditional tonewheel organs, setting the Level to
Loud (or disabling the Soft button) reduces the overall
drawbar volume.
To put it another way, setting the Level to Soft makes
the drawbars louder.
