Volume; Decay; Harmonic; Veltrack - Kurzweil K2661 Musician's Manual

key is held down get no percussion. On keyboard models, you can turn percussion on or off by
pressing Assignable Controller Button 5 (Mute button 5).

Volume

This parameter switches between loud and soft percussion settings. The actual amplitude is set
on the PERC2 page. On keyboard models, you can toggle between loud and soft by pressing
Assignable Controller Button 6 (Mute button 6).

Decay

This parameter switches between fast and slow percussion settings. The actual decay rate is set
on the PERC2 page. On keyboard models, you can toggle between slow and fast decay by
pressing Assignable Controller Button 7 (Mute button 7).

Harmonic

This parameter switches between high and low harmonic percussion settings. The actual pitch is
controlled by the LowHarm and HighHarm parameters. On keyboard models, you can toggle
between low and high harmonics by pressing Assignable Controller Button 8 (Mute button 8).

VelTrack

Here is where you specify the degree to which key velocity controls percussion volume. A value
of zero corresponds to no velocity tracking, which is like a real tone wheel organ. Other values
add velocity tracking, so that increased velocity results in louder percussion.

LowHarm

Controls which drawbar is used as the basis for the percussion when Harmonic is set to Low. On
an actual tone wheel organ, this is Drawbar 4 (2nd harmonic). The actual pitch obtained
depends on the drawbar tuning.

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 (if any) 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, including None.
