Î Just to the right of the nine UPPER drawbars are two PERC (Percussion) drawbars. Try pushing and
pulling these drawbars and you'll notice that they affect the attack or initial portion of the sound,
making it a little 'harder' or 'softer'.
Ï
To add to the fun, find the [ROTARY] button (located on the vertical panel just under the Upper
manual). When this button is lit, the W-5000's rotary speaker simulator is active. (This simulates the
effect of real rotary speakers such as the famed Leslie.) To change the rotary speed, press the
[FAST/SLOW] button.
However, you can also change the speed using the right 'kick' switch on the Expression pedal (just
give it a little tap with the right side of your foot!):
The left foot (or ‘kick’)
switch controls sustain of
Synth Tones.
The right foot (or ‘kick’)
switch controls rotary
speed.
