Parameter Value Explanation
Percussion Slow Time 0–127
Decay time of the percussion sound
when Percussion Slow is set to SLOW
Percussion Fast Time 0–127
Decay time of the percussion sound
when Percussion Slow is set to FAST
Percussion Harmonic
2ND
The percussion sound will be the same
pitch as the 4’ harmonic bar.
3RD
The percussion sound will be the same
pitch as the 2-2/3’ harmonic bar.
Percussion Recharge
Time
0–10
Normally, the percussion sound will
be added only to the rst note of
successive notes played legato.
This reproduces the characteristics of
the analog circuitry that produced the
percussion sound in tonewheel organs,
which caused the percussion sound
to be softer when keys were pressed
in quick succession. This species the
characteristics of this analog circuit.
Percussion Harmonic
Bar Level
0–127
The volume of the organ will be
reduced if Percussion Soft is set to
NORM.
This species how much the volume
will be reduced.

0029:French Accordion, 0030:Italian Accordion,
0032:Bandoneon, 0080:APS Accordion,
0082:APS Bandoneon
These sounds let you produce distinctive volume changes, as if you were operating
the bellows of the instrument.
If Bend Range is set to Tone, moving the pitch bend lever upward will produce a
tremolo eect, as if you were moving the bellows in small steps.
If Bend Range is set to anything other than Tone, this eect will be produced if Bend
Mode (CC19) is turned on. Use this when you want to switch between the tremolo
eect and conventional pitch change.
Parameter Value Explanation
Noise Level (CC16) -64– +63
Adjusts the amount of key noise heard
when you press or release a key.
0031:Harmonica, 0081:APS Harmonica
If Bend Range is set to Tone, moving the pitch bend lever upward will produce a wah
eect as if you were using your hands to enclose the harmonica.
If Bend Range is set to anything other than Tone, this eect will be produced if Bend
Mode (CC19) is turned on. Use this when you want to switch between the wah eect
and conventional pitch change.
Parameter Value Explanation
Noise Level (CC16) -64– +63 Adjusts the amount of breath noise.
Growl Sens (CC18) 0–127
Adjusts the distinctive nuance (growl)
of the breath noise.
0033:Nylon Guitar–0035:SteelStr Guitar,
0083:APS Nylon Guitar–0084:APS SteelStr Gt.
Note numbers 34 and lower will produce ghost notes as played on a guitar.
Parameter Value Explanation
Noise Level (CC16) -64– +63
Adjusts the volume of the string
grazing or picking noise.
This has no eect on the 0083:APS
Nylon Guitar and 0084:APS SteelStr Gt.
Strum Speed (CC17) -64– +63
Adjusts the deviation in the timing of
sound production by the strings when
strumming with Strum Mode turned
on. Higher values produce a greater
time deviation. The eect will be more
signicant for lower velocities.
Strum Mode (CC19) OFF, ON
If Strum Mode is turned on, strumming
will be produced when you play
multiple keys simultaneously. This
also reproduces the dierence in time
at which each string of a guitar is
sounded.
The guitar’s up strokes and down
strokes will alternately be produced
when chords are played in succession.
It is eective to use this with Hold
turned on.

0036:Acoustic Bass–0041:Fretless Bass,
0085:APS Acoustic Bs.–0088:APS Fretless Bs.
By playing legato rapidly, you can simulate techniques that are distinctive of a bass,
such as slides or hammering-on, depending on the speed at which you played the
notes.
Parameter Value Explanation
Noise Level (CC16) -64– +63
Adjusts the volume of the string
grazing or picking noise.
This has no eect on the 0085:APS
Acoustic Bs. – 0088:APS Fretless Bs.
Variation Refer to p. 98 Performance variation sounds
0042:Violin–0047:Contrabass, 0089:APS
Violin–0092:APS Contrabass
If Porta SW is turned on, a portamento eect typical of a violin will be produced. Note
ranges corresponding to open strings will produce an open-string sound without
vibrato.
Parameter Value Explanation
Noise Level (CC16) -64– +63
Adjusts the amount of string grazing
noise.
