KB3 Editor: The PERC2 Page

HighHarm
Controls which drawbar is used as the basis for the percussion when Harmonic is set to
High. On an actual tone wheel organ, this is Drawbar 5 (3rd harmonic). The actual pitch
obtained depends on the drawbar tuning.
StealBar
Controls which drawbar is disabled when the percussion effect is turned on. On an
unmodified tone wheel organ, the ninth drawbar is the one disabled. Any drawbar can be
selected.
KB3 Editor: The PERC2 Page
Parameter Group (Available for each combination of
the Volume and Decay parameters on the PERC1 page)
Percussion Level
Decay Time
Organ Volume Level
PercLevel, DecayTime, OrgLevel
With these parameters you can control the amplitude and decay time of the percussion effect
for all combinations of the Volume and Decay parameters (on the PERC1 page). You can
also adjust the level of the organ relative to the percussion, for accurate emulation of classic
organs.

KB3 Editor: The EQ Page

The four column headers on this page represent two shelving bands of equalization and
two parametric bands. The KB3 EQ offered here, though, is not implemented as a true EQ
section; instead, it adjusts the volume of the tone wheels based on frequency. If the tone
wheels are based on sine waves, then this acts similarly to a real EQ.
