Drawbar sound parameters for each keyboard are set in this mode.
To locate this mode:
LOWER & UPPER PARTS
❶ ORGAN TYPES
Select the manual keyboard organ type.
A-100:
Simulates A-102 characteristic by using sound source on "B-3".
B-3:
B-3 No. A27563
C-3:
C-3 No. C155596
Mellow:
With transparent sine waves
❷ ENVELOPE - ATTACK RATE
❸ ENVELOPE - RELEASE RATE
Th ese sets the envelope at ATTACK (key touch)/RELEASE (key release).
Th e setting range is CON (contact), 1 -- 15.
"CON" is the envelope of the reproduced Key Click with the Virtual Multi-Contacts.
1--15 are the Attacks by the general envelope generator. As the numeral value increases,
the rate becomes slow. (Rate: Th e speed of the volume start up/drop.)
❹ ENVELOPE - CONTACT OFFSET
Th is is for adjusting the time for the contacts of the Virtual Multi-Contacts to perfectly
touch.
Th e setting range is -63 -- 0 -- +63, and the more the value increases the longer time it
takes.
❺ FOLD BACK - LOW
Sets the key-point from which the 16´ Drawbar folds back (= repeat the same octave on
the lower octaves of the keybo ard).
Th e bottom key on the keyboard is displayed as "1C". Th e setting range is 1C to 2C.
❻ FOLD BACK - HIGH
Sets the key from which the 1´ Drawbar folds back (= repeat the same octave on the
higher octaves).
Th e setting range is 4G to 5C.
NOTE: The Fold-back is possible not only with 1´ but also with 11⁄3´, 13⁄5´, 2´, 22⁄3´ Drawbars.
❼ LEAK LEVEL OFFSET
Sets the total volume of the leakage tone.
Th e setting range is 0(silent) to 12 7(maximum).
❽ UPPER ZONE OCTAVE
Set the octave shift for the UPPER part. Th e setting range is -2 to +2.
❾ UPPER ZONE LOW
❿ UPPER ZONE HIGH
Set the sounding range of the UPPER part with these two parameters.

KEY CLICK
On the traditional models such as B-3/C-3, a
noise occurred when keys were pressed and
released, due to the mechanical keying system
employed on the classic organs. That charac-
teristic is replicated here.
EXAMPLES OF KEY-CLICK SET-
TINGS
Simulation of classic multi-contact keyboard
B-3/C-3: AT = CON, RL = CON
Simulation of a PCM synthesizer to produce
the key-click only at 'attack': AT = CON, RL = 4
Slow envelope like a pipe-organ: AT = 15, RL
= 15
FOLD-BACK
As the number of the Tone Wheels was lim-
ited on the B-3/C-3, the very highest and low-
est pitches "folded back" on the keyboards,
sounding the same octave twice in a row. This
function reproduces this characteristic.
On some earlier model, such as the A, BV, and
BC, the 16´ Drawbar would continue to play
all the way down to the lowest C(1C). Newer
models such as X-66, X-77 and Concorde, how-
ever, the 1´ Drawbar would continue to play
up the keyboard to the next to the highest
C(5C) on the keyboard.
