Drawbar set can be uaed to change any selected Preset from "C" through "A. "

DAMPER

On an acoustic piano, pressing the right-most
pedal moves the felt dampers away from the
strings, allowing them to sound continually
until the notes fade away. The DAMPER fea-
ture replicates this effect.
SUSTAIN
On an organ, such as the XK-5, the word "SUS-
TAIN" refers to the amount of time a note con-
tinues to sound after a key is released. On a
synthesizer this would be called "T4" or "Re-
lease. "
