Harmonic
This parameter switches between high and low harmonic percussion settings. The actual pitch is
controlled by the LowHarm and HighHarm parameters. On keyboard models, you can toggle
between low and high harmonics by pressing Assignable Controller Button 8 (Mute button 8).
VelTrack
Here is where you specify the degree to which key velocity controls percussion volume. A value
of zero corresponds to no velocity tracking, which is like a real tone wheel organ. Other values
add velocity tracking, so that increased velocity results in louder percussion.
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). The 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). The actual pitch obtained
depends on the drawbar tuning.
StealBar
Controls which drawbar is disabled when the percussion effect is turned on. On an unmodified
tone wheel organ, the ninth drawbar is the one disabled. Any drawbar can be selected.
