The MP7SE’s tonewheel mode is a special function that transforms the instrument into a vintage electromechanical
organ, complete with drawbar, percussion, and slow/fast rotary speaker controls. Tonewheel mode is only available
for the MAIN zone, and activated when selecting the DRAWBAR sound category and 1, 2, or 3 sub-categories.
Upon activating tonewheel mode and selecting the tonewheel edit screen, the MP7SE’s zone faders will act as virtual
organ drawbars, with the MAIN, SUB1, SUB2, and SUB3 zone buttons also used to change percussion functions.

Press the DRAWBAR sound category button, then press either
the 1, 2, or 3 sub-category buttons.
