The Envelope Menu: Percussion Pitch Parameters

Three parameters control the pitch of the percussion effect:
Low Harmonic (Low Harm)
Controls which drawbar is used as the basis for the low harmonic of the percussion effect. The
actual pitch obtained depends on which drawbar you use. On an actual tone wheel organ, this is
Drawbar 4. You can use any of the nine drawbars. Whichever drawbar you use, it will affect the
pitch of the low harmonic only when percussion is on (the Zone 1 button is lit), and the low
harmonic is active (the Zone 4 button is off).
High Harmonic (High Harm)
Controls which drawbar is used as the basis for the high harmonic of the percussion effect. The
actual pitch obtained depends on which drawbar you use. On an actual tone wheel organ, this is
Drawbar 5. You can use any of the nine drawbars. Whichever drawbar you use, it will affect the
pitch of the high harmonic only when percussion is on (the Zone 1 button is lit), and the high
harmonic is active (the Zone 4 button is lit).
Steal Bar
Controls which drawbar is disabled (if any) when the percussion effect is turned on (the Zone 1
button is lit). On an unmodified tone wheel organ, the ninth drawbar is the one disabled.
Possible values are Drawbar1–Drawbar9, and None.

The LFO Menu

The LFO parameters for KB3 programs are the same as those for Internal-Voices programs. See
The LFO Menu on page 5-4.
Setup Editor Parameters
There are twelve menus in the Setup Editor. With one exception, each zone in a setup has an
independent set of these menus (the exception is the Arpeggiator menu, in which all parameters
but Zone Enable affect all zones in a setup).
The primary menus in the Setup Editor are listed below. There are also four Effects-mode
parameters (as described on page 5-32), and a Store menu containing functions for saving,
naming, and deleting setups.
