6.3. Noise Level control
The Noise Level knob lets you add a variable amount of noise to the output, which was part
of the character of the original Farfisa organs. At maximum setting this simulates a high
degree of electrical buzz and hum.
6.4. Voice Mode switch
When AR ENV (attack/release envelope) is ON, the Voice Mode switch lets you toggle
between two modes:
Polyphonic: Each key has its own attack and release envelope, just like on a true
•
polyphonic synth.
Paraphonic: Each key still has its own release envelope, but the attack envelope
•
is now global, and it won't retrigger until all (treble) keys have been released. If
you play legato, no new attacks will be generated. This is more or less like some
string synths (e.g. the ARP Solina / Arturia Solina V), and the percussion tab of
the Hammond B3 organ.
Note that this applies only to the treble voices (green/white tabs on the right), not the bass.
The bass does have attack, but only up to 3 ms (so you can still use it to prevent pops/
clicks). The bass doesn't affect the global paraphonic envelope at all. The idea behind this is
to be able to play hard bass notes combined with slow treble chords such as pads/strings
for more flexibility.
When the AR ENV switch to its right is OFF, the VOICE MODE switch is ignored.
