The setting value is 1--3. Physical contact 1 will sound first, then 2 then 3.
NOTE: The Hammond pedal claviers such as the XPK-250 have only one physical contact;
therefore, this value does not apply to the Pedal tones..

sounding of the note.
The setting value is 0 -- 800 ms. The larger the value, the longer the delay.
RELEASE KEY CLICK
Because of the construction of the contacts on
a tone-wheel organ, the Attack Key Click may
be slightly more prominent than the Release
Key Click. The figure below shows this.
