PERCUSS (PERCUSSion)
In this mode, you can set the parameter of the PERCUSSION sound.
To locate this mode:
1. Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button and display MENU, then select PAGE B by the [PAGE]
button and touch [4] PERCUSS button.
2. Or, hold down either [SECOND],[THIRD],[FAST],or [SOFT] button for a certain length of
time.
1. LEVEL - SOFT
2. LEVEL - NORMAL
These are for setting the Volume of Percussion. SOFT is the
volume when the [SOFT] button is ON, and NORMAL is the
volume when the [SOFT] button is OFF.
3. DECAY - SLOW
4. DECAY - FAST
These are for setting the Speed of the Decay of the Percussion.
SLOW is the speed when the [FAST] button is OFF, and FAST
is the speed when the [FAST] button is ON.
The setting range is 1 - 9 and C. The more the value gets, the
longer gets the Decay Time. At C, no decay (= continuous).

TOUCH
The B-3/C-3 had only one built-in Envelope Generator, and was not
recharged until all the UPPER Manuals were released. This looks like
a drawback, but it had the advantage that the sound did not get loose
when chords were roughly played.
1' CANCEL
The B-3/C-3 had no key contact exclusive for percussion but uses
the 1' contact for percussion. On this keyboard, this is simulated.
DRAWBAR LEVEL
On the B-3/C-3, the Drawbar Volume got slightly smaller, if percus-
sion works This is simulated on this keyboard.
