4.4 INTERNAL NOISES SIMULATION
The electromechanical organ sound is not only characterized by tonewheels, drawbars and percussion, but
also other noises
which were initially considered flaws but that have become over time distinctive features of
this type of instrument. One of these is
the click (or Keyclick) generated at the attack of the note by the switch
of each key.
Another fault that became part of the sound is the noise generated by the extreme proximity of the audio wiring
(Crosstalk), where each cable interfered with the others. Therefore, when a key was pressed, many other notes
played too, but at a much lower volume.
In order to make the sound of
Legend
/
Legend Classic
/
Legend Live
as faithful as
possible to the original electromechanical counterpart, you can add the Keyclick effect
and adjust its volume through the [KEYCLICK] potentiometer.
The [CROSSTALK] potentiometer adjusts the level of the noise generated by wiring
