“Mixture” Drawbars which cause multiple pitches to sound. “II,” “III” and “IV” refer to the number of pitches
represented by that Drawbar.
The last two Drawbars control the type of tone produced by the first seven Drawbars. The eighth Drawbar causes
pure tones to sound while the last Drawbar causes brighter and more harmonically complex tones to sound.
NOTE:
The first seven Drawbars WILL NOT sound unless one or both of the last two Drawbars are also
“out.” These two Drawbars regulate the overall volume as well as timbre of the total Drawbar registration, and
can be used separately or together.
