The Timbre Menu

Wheel Volume Map (WheelVolMap)
The wheel volume map determines the volume level for each tone wheel. WeÕve provided
several tone wheel volume maps here, based on measurements weÕve taken of different organs.
Equal
Bright
Mellow
Junky
OrganMap
Controls the relative amplitude of each key, per drawbar. Like the wheel volume maps, these
maps are based on measurements weÕve made on actual organs.
Equal
Peck's
Bob's
Eric's
Chorus/Vibrato (Chor/Vib)
Determines the preset chorus or vibrato effect that gets applied to the program. The six possible
values are Chor1ÐChor3, and Vib1ÐVib3. For choruses, the amount of detuning increases from
Chor1 to Chor3. For vibratos, the vibrato depth increases from Vib1 to Vib3.
DrawbarMode
Determines whether the programÕs drawbar controls set themselves to the positions of the
drawbar controls when you select the program.
Preset
Initial drawbar settings are deÞned by the values of Drawbar parameters 1Ð9; they ignore the
initial positions of the drawbar controls. Moving the drawbars affects the sound during
performance, but the program restores the preset values each time you select the program.
Live
Initial drawbar settings are deÞned by the positions of the drawbar controls (Sliders AÐD and
Mod Wheel)
