volume when the [SOFT] button is ON, and NORMAL is the

The setting range is 1 - 9 and C. The more the value gets, the
longer gets the Decay Time. At C, no decay (= continuous).

TOUCH
The B-3/C-3 had only one built-in Envelope Generator, and was not
recharged until all the UPPER Manuals were released. This looks like
a drawback, but it had the advantage 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 percussion. On this keyboard, this is simulated.
DRAWBAR LEVEL
On the B-3/C-3, the Drawbar Volume got slightly smaller, if percus-
sion works This is simulated on this keyboard.
