DRAWBAR
In this mode, you can set the Parameter relating to the Drawbar sound of each part.
To locate this mode:
Touch the [MENU/EXIT] button and display MENU, touch the [PAGE] button and select
PAGE A and choose [1] DRAWBAR.
KEY-CLICK
The “Key Click” is the noise heard every time the key is
touched or released on the B-3/C-3, as the voice is
generated by mechanically switching ON and OFF on
these models. The function on this model simulates
the good old noise.
FOLD-BACK
As the number of the tonewheels was limited on the B-
3/C-3, the organs were designed to repeat the same
octave in the upper-most or lower-most range. This
feature of this model will simulate that.
 Setting the Manual Part (LOWER and UPPER)
1. TONE-WHEELS
Select the TONE-WHEEL SET (waveform) for the manual part.
BT BT BT BT BType1 ype1 ype1 ype1 ype1: The traditional Tonewheel Sound of B-3/C-3
BT BT BT BT BType 2 ype 2 ype 2 ype 2 ype 2: This sound includes more leakage noise and flutter
Mellow Mellow Mellow Mellow Mellow: Transparent sine wave
Brite Brite Brite Brite Brite: The analog-oscillating sound represented by X-5
Saw Saw Saw Saw Saw: Sawtooth waveform.
2. CLICK - ATTACK LEVEL
The larger the value gets, the louder the click volume. At 4 no key click is pronounced.
Also, the smaller the value gets below 4, the slower gets the attack rate (= the drawbars’
starting-up speed).
3. CLICK - RELEASE LEVEL
The larger the value gets, the louder the click volume. At 4 no key click is pronounced.
Also, the smaller the value gets below 4, the slower gets the release rate (= the drawbar
volume’s fading speed).
4. CLICK - LPF
This allows you to set the tone of the Key-Click.
The setting range is 0 - 127. The larger the value, the brighter the Key-Click.
5. FOLD-BACK - LOW
This allows you to set at which key the 16' Drawbar starts the FOLD-BACK. (Fold-back:
Repeating the same octave in a certain range on the keyboard.)
The first key (= the far left key on the manual, next to the Preset Keys) is displayed as
“1C”. The setting range is 1C - 2C.
6. FOLD-BACK - HIGH
This allows you to set at which key the 1' Drawbar starts to FOLD-BACK (= repeat the
same octave) in the upper-most range. The set range is 4G - 5C.
NOTE: The FOLD-BACK sets not only the 1' but also 1 1 /
3
', 1 3 /

TONE-WHEEL SET
Each Tone-wheel Set allows you to make finer adjust-
ment. (P. 68)
EXAMPLE OF CLICK
Simulating the multi-contact keyboard represented by
the B-3/C-3: AT=8, RL=8
Simulating the PCM Synthesizer that only attack pro-
nounces the key click: AT=8, RL=4
Simulating the single-contact keyboard represented by
the X-66: AT=4, RL=4
The slow envelope like the pipe organ: AT=0, RL=0
