the "drawbars" are arranged centrally above the
keyboard.
the footages are counterparts to the standard sizes.
it should be noted, however, that these sliders behave like
organ drawbars. the change in value is reversed from the
way you are used from other sliders.
to the right of the drawbar slider the switch for chorus or
Vibrato is located. the associated slider sets the intensity
of the effect. in its minimum position, the effect is inactive.
the Percussion is an important section for typical organ
sounds - perhaps that's why its switches are red. in
addition to the on / off switch, the footages 4' (B) and
2 2/3' (a) and a "length" slider to set the length of the
Percussion are available. there is a special feature: if the
wave-Knob is in position H, switching on the Percusion
mutes the 1' drawbar, and the Percussion does not sound
with legato notes..

reverb can be found. the zero position of the sliders

missing in reface Yc. it
is located on the far left,
in the same spot where
the Pitch Bend stick is
located on reface cs
and reface dX. there are the positions "off", "stop",
"slow", and "fast", which are reached by upward and
downward movements of the stick.
"off" again corresponds to a bypass setting. the current
position is indicated by a red led.

each of the different organ models has its own character.
so it is advisable for the demonstration to turn off the
effects, first. there are two drawbar settings that are
perfect for showing the differences of the organ models.
one reads simply: "full Bars" - ie all footages are set to
maximum. the second recommendation is more discreet
with the footages 16', 8', and 4' solo and is perfect for
hearing the different harmonic contents. experiment
on basis of these two registrations and dial through the
waves and the different models.
