LowHarm
Controls which drawbar is used as the basis for the percussion when Harmonic is set to Low.
On an actual tone wheel organ, this is Drawbar 4 (2nd harmonic). e actual pitch obtained
depends on the drawbar tuning.
HighHarm
Controls which drawbar is used as the basis for the percussion when Harmonic is set to
High. On an actual tone wheel organ, this is Drawbar 5 (3rd harmonic). e actual pitch
obtained depends on the drawbar tuning.
StealBar
Controls which drawbar is disabled when the percussion eect is turned on. On an
unmodied tone wheel organ, the ninth drawbar is the one disabled. Any drawbar can be
selected.
PercLevel, DecayTime, OrgLevel
Parameter Group (Available for each combination of
the Volume and Decay parameters on the PERC page)
Range of Values
Percussion Level 0 to 24.0 dB
Decay Time 0.01 to 5.10 seconds, in 0.02-second increments
Organ Volume Level -12.0 to 12.0 dB
With these parameters you can control the amplitude and decay time of the percussion eect
for all combinations of the Volume and Decay parameters (on the PERC page). You can
also adjust the level of the organ relative to the percussion, for accurate emulation of classic
organs.
