Drawbars
One of the standard performance features of many tone wheel organs is the set of drawbars
for emulating the stops on a pipe organ. Moving the drawbars controls the amplitude of
either the fundamentals or the harmonics of the notes. e Forte SE’s sliders serve as the
nine drawbars found on most tone wheel organs. Pushing the sliders up is the equivalent of
pushing the drawbars in (removing fundamentals or harmonics).

Additional Controller Assignments In KB3 Mode
Other default assignments for factory KB3 programs include:
CC Pedal 1 (volume) controls preamp volume, which emulates the volume control of an
organ preamp. e PreampResp parameter must be set to On for this to work (the default
setting). See PreampResp on page 7-84 for details.
e Mod Wheel controls Distortion Drive.
Switch Pedal 1 (sustain) controls the SpeedCtl parameter, which toggles the Rotary speed
between slow or fast. See SpeedCtl on page 7-84 for details. is has the same eect as using
