What's “Brilliance” all about?
As this lever is pulled downward, the sound takes on
more and more brilliance. This is particularly effec-
tive with reed instruments (clarinet, tenor saxophone,
etc.) and with stringed instruments (violin, viola, etc.)
when added to their tone color.
The pedal keys, the solo keys and the tremolo are
uneffected by the brilliance lever.
What's
"attack
length"
all
about?
The decay time of the attack sound becomes longer
as this lever is pulled down when you are playing one
or more of the upper keyboard's attack voices (i.e.,
4', 2-2/3' or 2").

What's "vibrato"' all about?
This is an effect which makes the sound vibrate by
moving the pitch of the sound by a fraction. With
stringed instruments, this rapid regular fluctuation
can be produced by the fingers and with wind in-
struments by the lips. The vibrato function allows the
Electone Organ to yield exactly the same effect.
In fact, this Electone organ can produce two types of
vibrato effect with the delay and depth levers.
(1) Ordinary vibrato
The vibrato effect is produced by pulling the
depth lever down. The variation in the sound can
be controlled with this lever.
9 There will no vibrato effect unless the depth
lever is pulled down.
@ Ihe speed of the vibrato can be controlled
with the speed lever. As this lever is pulled
down, the vibrato speed increases.

the “wah” effect is produced in synchronization with the rhythm while the
key is kept depressed.

(2) Delay vibrato
When keys on the upper keyboard are depressed,
the vibrato effect is produced after a short delay
instead of immediately.
The delay effect is produced when the depth
lever is pulled down, the delay lever is moved
downward and the keys on the upper keyboard
are depressed. The delay time increases (time
until the vibrato effect is produced) as the delay
lever is moved downward.
* The delay effect produced by the upper key-
board keys affects the lower keyboard and
pedal keyboard vibrato.
