2.7 – RIGHT SIDE KNOBS
On the top row we have:
–
CLICK
: use this knob to adjust the amount of
keyclick
noise, which is the typical
noise you hear at the attack of each note, that on a real tonewheel organ is
caused by electrical contacts underneath the keyboard;
–
XTALK
: use this knob to adjust the amount of
cross-talk
effect. Also this is an
effect found in the original tonewheel organ, mostly caused by the large
amount of wirings that interconnect all the parts of the electronic circuit;
–
PERC. VOL
: this comes handy to adjust the volume of the percussion sound in
case it becomes too loud or too soft, which is a condition that may vary
according to the type of amplification being used. Sometimes the percussion is
just right, but its perception may change when the speakers are set to a
different position, or when just using a different set of speakers;
–
BALANCE
: when the internal Rotary Speaker simulation is active, this knob
adjusts the balance between the upper horn and the bass rotor;
–
DISTANCE
: when the internal Rotary Speaker simulation is active, this knob
adjusts the distance between the virtual speakers and the virtual microphones,
varying the amount of perception of the Doppler effect and other acoustic
phenomenons that happen in a rotary speaker.
The knobs on the bottom row are BASS, MIDDLE and TREBLE. Nothing but an
efficient and handy 3-band equalizer useful to balance the sound according to the
type of amplification system used, its positioning in the venue, also the kind of
venue, possible resonances or unwanted reverberations. When all three knobs are in
the middle position, the sound can be considered “flat”, i.e. with no frequencies
added to or subtracted from the original sound.
2.8 - PERCUSSION
Like on the the vintage tonewheel organs, the command panel features the four
percussion switches that have the following functions, from left to right:
1. Turn the percussion on or off.
2. Select between soft or normal percussion volume.
3. Select between fast or slow decay.
4. Select the harmonic applied to the percussion tone.
PLEASE NOTE
: the percussion is only present at the upper manual. Also, when the
percussion is active, the 1' drawbar will be muted.
