In each Drawbar set, the white Drawbar (8') on the left end makes the basic/
fundamental sound. The other white Drawbars get higher by the octave to
the right.
WHITE DRAWBARS
BLACK DRAWBARS
The sounds of the black Drawbars, too, play important roles in building rich
tones. Their pitches are fifth and third to the fundamental. They contain the
elements of all different harmonics of such as the sweet and soft horn, mel-
low strings and so on.
BROWN DRAWBARS
MANUAL DRAWBARS
PEDAL DRAWBARS
The Pedal Part for playing the bass line usually uses the two Drawbars -16'
and 8'.
The first Pedal Drawbar produces a tone at 16' pitch for a deep foundation
bass, while the second Pedal Drawbar produces a tone at 8' pitch, or one
octave higher.
The registration of the Pedal Part is displayed on the center of the display,
left one is 16', and the right one is 8'.
The two brown Drawbars on the far left have the role to give depth and
richness to the sound. The left 16' is one (1) octave lower than the 8', and
5
1
/3' is the third harmonic of the 16' fundamental.
Normally, the tones are built on the 8' fundamental, but, if you want to add
depth to the tone or to expand the playing range on the manual by one (1)
octave, the tones are built on the 16' fundamental.
