PERCUSS ( Percussion)
is mode is for setting the parameters of the Percussion sounds.
To locate this mode:
❶ LEVEL SOFT
❷ LEVEL - NORMAL
Controls the Percussion volume levels. e Normal level is
set by the NORM setting, and SOFT is the level when the
[SOFT] button is ON.
❸ DECAY - SLOW
❹ DECAY - FAST
Controls the Percussion decay time. e Slow rate is set by
SLOW setting, and Fast is the time when the [FAST] button
is ON.
e setting range is 1 to 9 and C. As the value is raised, the
decay time grows longer. At C (continuous) there is no decay,
and the Percussion sound is sustained while keys are pressed.
❺ KEYBOARD - TOUCH
Sets the touch response of the Percussion.
ON: Legato playing will result in the First note hit engaging the Per-
cussion, and none after.
OFF: The envelopes reset with each key hit and Percussion sounds on
every note.
❻ KEYBOARD - VELOCITY
Links the Percussion volume to velocity.
ON: A harder strike produces a louder Percussion sound.
OFF: Regardless how hard you play, the volume remains the same.
❼ KEYBOARD - KEY TRACK
Attenuates the Percussion volume by position of the key.
ON: The higher the note is, the lesser the volume.
OFF: no change in volume.
❽ DRAWBAR - 1´ CANCEL
Mutes the UPPER 1´ Drawbar while using the Percussion.
ON: Mute active
OFF: No mute.
❾ DRAWBAR - LEVEL
Reduces the UPPER Drawbar volume while using the Percus-
sion (except [SOFT] button is ON).
-5dB: Reduces the volume in similar response to the classic B-3/C-3.
-3dB: Slight reduction in volume.
0dB: Does not reduce the volume.
NOTE: All the parameters of these modes are Patch parameters, and
are recorded to the respective Patches.
TOUCH-RESPONSE
The Percussion generator on the vintage B-3/C-3
had a single envelope, which would not recycle
until all keys were raised. Originally thought to be
a defect, the resulting response became a desired
trait.
1´ CANCEL
The B-3/C-3 had no exclusive key contact for the
Percussion, but, used the 1´ contact. This is simu-
lated on the SKX.
DRAWBAR LEVEL
When the Percussion was activated on the B-3/C-3,
the volume of the Drawbars became slightly softer
in volume. This is simulated on the SKX.
or, keep pressing either of the [ON], [SOFT], [FAST], [THIRD] buttons for a
moment.
See “Function mode” (P. 66) for operation details.
