MANUAL DRAWBARS (SWELL and GREAT)
TONE WHEELS (P)
Select the virtual tone wheel set (waveform) for the manual Drawbars.
BType1: The traditional tone wheel sound of the B-3/C-3/A-100.
BType2: This sound includes more leakage noise and fl utter.
Mellow: Transparent sine wave.
Brite: The analog-oscillating sound of the vintage Hammond X-5.
Saw: Sawtooth waveform (Non-Hammond “Combo Organ” Style).
CLICK - ATTACK LEVEL (P)
Th e higher the value, the louder the click volume. At 4 no key click is heard. Also,
when the value is below 4, the attack speed of the Drawbar voices slows.
CLICK - RELEASE LEVEL (P)
Th e higher the value, the louder the click volume. At 4 no key click is heard. Also,
when the value is below 4, the release rate slows.
CLICK - LPF (P)
Th is allows you to set the tone of the Key-Click.
Th e setting range is 0 - 127. Th e larger the value, the brighter the Key-Click.
FOLD-BACK - LOW (P)
Th is allows you to set at which key the 16´ Drawbars starts to FOLD-BACK (repeat
the same notes in a higher octave on the keyboard).
Th
e fi rst key (= the far left playing key on the manual) is displayed as “1C”. Th e set-
ting range is 1C - 2C.
FOLD-BACK - HIGH (P)
Th is allows you to set at which key the 1´ Drawbar starts to FOLD-BACK (repeat
the same notes in a lower octave) in the upper-most range. Th e set range is 4G - 5C.
NOTE: The FOLD-BACK sets not only the 1´ but also the 11⁄3´, 13⁄5´, 2´ and 22⁄3´ Drawbars.
TONE WHEEL SET
Each tone wheel set allow you to make fi ne adjust-
ments. (P. 70)
KEY-CLICK
The “Key Click” is the noise heard every time the
key is touched or released on the B-3/C-3/A-100,
as the voice is generated by mechanically switch-
ing the key contacts. The function on this model
simulates the Key Click.

EXAMPLES OF KEY CLICK SETTINGS
Simulating the multi-contact keyboard represent-
ed by the B-3/C-3/A-100: AT=8, RL=8
Simulating a PCM synthesizer where only the At-
tack produces a Key Click: AT=8, RL=4
Simulating the quieter key contact system repre-
sented by the X-66: AT=4, RL=4
The slow envelope like the pipe organ: AT=0, RL=0
FOLD-BACK
As the number of the tone wheels was limited
on the B-3/C-3/A-100, the organs were designed
to repeat the same octave in the upper-most and
lower-most range. This feature reproduces this
characteristic.
