used for the upper ones.

Upper Tone Wheels
Use this parameter to indicate the keymap (and thereby the samples) to use for the upper tone
wheels. You can use any ROM or RAM keymap, though you must specify a keymap that uses
looped samples for KB3 Mode to work correctly. When in Program mode, the keymap assigned
to the program appears in the info box.
Lower Tone Wheels
Here you can specify the waveform to use for the lower half of the tone wheels. Choose from
SINE, SINE2, SAW, and SQUARE. SINE2 is an improved version of SINE, with less distortion.
Upper Volume Adjust
Since sample volumes can vary, while the volume of DSP-generated waveforms will remain
consistent, you may Þnd it necessary to adjust the level of the sample-based tone wheels. This
parameter lets you adjust the amplitude of the upper (sample-based) tone wheels relative to
amplitude of the waveform-generated tone wheels.
Number of Tone Wheels
This parameter lets you specify the number of tone wheels used by a KB3 program. The classic
tone wheel organs used 91 tone wheels, though the lowest 12 were for the pedals only.
Therefore, you may Þnd 79 a good number of tone wheels to specify for realistic organ
