EXi: CX-3 Tonewheel Organ
194
PROGRAM > CX-3: Percussion
Percussion adds a pitched attack to the notes, for a more
crisp, punchy timbre. When you play legato, percussion will
only sound for the first note in the phrase.
6–1: Percussion
6–1a: Percussion
Percussion [Off, On]
This toggles the Percussion section on and off.
Note that enabling Percussion for a set of drawbars (Upper
or Lower) may affect the set’s 1’ drawbar; for more
information, see “Interaction between Percussion, 1’
drawbar, and EX mode” on page 191.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to turn the Percussion on or off.
For a list of AMS sources, see “Alternate Modulation Source
(AMS) List” on page 901.
AMS Mode [Toggle, Momentary]
This determines the behavior of the Percussion AMS. For
details, see “AMS Mode” on page 189.
Percussion Assign [Lower, Upper]
This assigns the percussion to either the lower or upper
drawbars. The default is Upper. Setting it to Lower, instead,
allows you to play a bass line with percussion.
If Split is Off, Percussion is automatically assigned to the
Upper drawbars.
6–1b: Level
Level [Soft, Loud]
This toggles the Percussion Level between Soft and Loud.
The actual volume levels are determined by the Loud Level
and Soft Level parameters, below.
Note that the Percussion Level parameter can also affect the
volume of the drawbars, as controlled by the Loud Drawbar
Attenuation parameter.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects an AMS source to switch the Percussion Level
between Soft and Loud. For a list of AMS sources, see
“Alternate Modulation Source (AMS) List” on page 901.
AMS Mode [Toggle, Momentary]
This determines the behavior of the Level AMS. For details,
see “AMS Mode” on page 189.
Loud Level [00…99]
This sets the volume of the percussion when Percussion
Level is set to Loud.
Soft Level [00…99]
This sets the volume of the percussion when Percussion
Level is set to Soft.
Loud Drawbar Attenuation [00…99]
On traditional tonewheel organs, setting the Level to Loud
(or disabling the Soft button) reduces the overall drawbar
volume.
