❍ 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.
■ MIDI-related Settings
❍ When setting things other than the MIDI
channel
1. Hold down the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] and
[PEDAL] buttons and press the [REVERB] 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 13 MIDI-related parameters. You can select all
of these parameters by controlling the lighted/
extinguished state of the [PRESET] button’s indicator.
The following parameters are assigned to each button.
[PRESET] button’s indicator extinguished
[PRESET] button’s indicator lighted
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.
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.
