Setting the Parameters
PERCUSS (PERCUSSion)
In this mode, you can set the parameter of the PERCUSSION sound.
To locate this mode:
1. Touch the [MENU] button and display MENU, then select page B by the [PAGE]
button and touch [2] PERCUSS button.
2. Or, hold down either [SECOND HARMONIC], [THIRD HARMONIC], [DECAY FAST],
or [VOLUME SOFT] button for a few moments.
1. LEVEL - SOFT
2. LEVEL - NORMAL
ese are for setting the Volume of Percussion. SOFT is the
volume when the [VOLUME SOFT] button is ON, and
NORMAL is the volume when the [VOLUME SOFT] button
is OFF.
3. DECAY - SLOW
4. DECAY - FAST
ese are for setting the speed of the decay of the Percussion.
SLOW is the speed when the [FAST] button is OFF, and FAST
is the speed when the [FAST] button is ON.
e setting range is 1 - 9 and C.  e higher the value, the
longer gets the Decay Time. At C, there is no decay (= continu-
ous).
5. KEYBOARD - TOUCH
is is for setting the method of triggering of Percussion.
ON: If you play legato, the notes including and after the second note
do not sound (the envelope will not be reset).
OFF: Even If you play legato, all the notes produce sound, like a piano.
6. KEYBOARD - VELOCITY
Corresponds the Volume of Percussion with the Velocity.
ON: Percussion volume rises with increased keyboard velocity.
OFF: Percussion volume remains constant, regardless of velocity.
7. KEYBOARD - KEY TRACK
Changes the Percussion Volume by the position on the key-
board.
ON: As you play higher, the Percussion volume decreases.
OFF: Keyboard position has no e ect on Percussion volume.
8. DRAWBAR - 1´ CANCEL
is mutes the 1´ SWELL Drawbars while using Percussion.
ON: Mute.
OFF: Does not mute.
9. DRAWBAR - LEVEL
Decrease the volume of SWELL Drawbars while using Percus-
sion.
-5dB: Decreases the volume by B-3/C-3 frequency response.
-3dB: Decreases the volume  atly.
0dB: Does not decrease the volume.
NOTE: This parameter works only when the [VOLUME SOFT] is OFF.
NOTE: The parameters in these modes are all Preset Parameters.
TOUCH
The B-3/C-3 had only one built-in Envelope
Generator, and was not recharged until all the
keys of the SWELL manual were released. This
looks like a drawback, but it had the advan-
tage that the sound did not get loose when
chords were roughly played.
1´ CANCEL
The B-3/C-3 had no key contact exclusive for
Percussion but uses the 1´ contact for Percus-
sion. On this organ, this is simulated.
DRAWBAR LEVEL
On the B-3/C-3, the Drawbar Volume was
slightly reduced when the Percussion was en-
gaged. This characteristic is modeled on this
organ.
