Digital Drawbars page

DIGITAL DRAWBARS are different from ordinary Sounds.
Their parameters are not saved as a new Sound, but can be saved
to a Performance. Therefore, when entering the Digital Draw-
bars page, the MENU button is disabled.
Note: In Style Play and Backing Sequence mode, only a Digital
Drawbar Sound is available for the Keyboard tracks, and one for
the Style tracks. Save them to a Performance (see "Write Perfor-
mance dialog box" on page 138).
Note: In Song Play mode, there is a Digital Drawbars Sound for
the Keyboard tracks, one for Song tracks 1-8, another one for Song
tracks 9-16.
Note: In Sequencer mode there is a Digital Drawbars Sound for
Song tracks 1-8, one for Song tracks 9-16.
When you select the special DRAWBARS Sound in the Organ
Sound bank, the Drawbars Setting page appears, and the current
setting is assigned to the selected track.
To edit the Drawbars, drag the virtual sliders in the display. As
an alternative, touch a slider and drag it on the display, or use the
VALUE DIAL controls to change its value.
Each foot refers to the pipe length in a pipe organ, in which the
sound is produced by pipes of different length. Longer pipes
mean a lower sound; therefore, the 16' drawbar produces the
lowest pitched sound, while the 1' drawbar produces the highest
pitched sound.
