KEY-CLICK
The “Key Click” is the noise heard every time the
key is touched or released on the B-3/C-3, as the
voice is generated by mechanically switching ON
and OFF on these models. The function on this
model simulates the good old noise.

EXAMPLE OF CLICK
Simulating the multi-contact keyboard represent-
ed by the B-3/C-3: AT=8, RL=8
Simulating the PCM synthesizer that only attack
pronounces the key click: AT=8, RL=4
Simulating the single-contact keyboard repre-
sented by the X-66: AT=4, RL=4
The slow envelope like the pipe organ: AT=0, RL=0
FOLD-BACK
As the number of the tonewheels was limited on
the B-3/C-3, the organs were designed to repeat
the same octave in the upper-most or lower-most
range. This feature of this model reproduces that.
