■ Click Noise and Percussion
Settings
1. Hold down the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] and
[PEDAL] buttons and press the PERCUSSION
[SECOND] button.
The indicators of buttons [1]–[8] will blink.
2. Press one of the buttons from [1] through [8] to select
the parameter that you want to edit.
There are eight parameters related to Click Noise and
Percussion.
The following parameters are assigned to each button.
3. Turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS] knob to adjust
the setting.
If you press the VIBRATO AND CHORUS [ON] button,
the setting will return to its initial value.
4. If you want to edit another parameter, press the
appropriate button from [1] through [8] to select the
parameter, and turn the [VIBRATO AND CHORUS]
knob to adjust the setting.
When you want to stop editing, press the HARMONIC
BAR PART [UPPER] button.
5. Press the [WRITE] button to finalize the settings of the
click noise and percussion parameters.
Parameter settings will be saved.
While the parameters are being saved, the [1]–[8] buttons
will blink.
NOTE
Never turn off the power while parameters are being saved.
❍ 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.
❍ 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.
❍ 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 NORMAL 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.
❍ 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). Increasing this value causes the percussion
to decay more slowly.
❍ 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.
❍ 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.

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 charge time parameter adjusts this charge
time.
