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toggl e
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.

PercLevel, DecayTime, OrgLevel
Withtheseparametersyoucancontroltheamplitudeanddecaytimeofthepercussioneffectfor
allcombinationsoftheVolumeandDecayparameters(onthePERC1page).Youcanalsoadjust
theleveloftheorganrelativetothepercussion,foraccurateemulationofclassicorgans.
