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 keyboard position.
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
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 simulated on this keyboard.
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
this keyboard.
or, keep pressing either of the [ON], [THIRD], [FAST], [SOFT] buttons for a
moment.
See “Function mode” (P. 62) for operation details.
