[UPPER DB VIB] + [LOWER DB VIB] BUTTONS
These buttons (one for each manual) add low frequency modulation to the Upper and Lower Drawbar Tones
to simulate Tone-Wheel type vibrato effects. (These buttons turn the effect on and off.) There are several
settings you can make for this effect. Note that the same setting must be made for both the Upper and Lower
manuals. As that is the case, changing one setting automatically changes the other. Note also that the Vib and
Rotary effects are mutually exclusive; only one effect can be used at a time. Try setting the vibrato rate as a
sample:
Ê Press the [UPPER DB VIB] button (so it lights).
Ë
Press [NEXT] as necessary until the word 'Rate' appears in the LCD.
Ì Set the vibrato rate (0-127) with the [+]/[-] (or [++]/[--]) buttons.
Refer to page 117 for a list of all the Upper and Lower Drawbar Vibrato parameters.
[DRAWBAR DISTORT] BUTTON
No contemporary organ sound would be complete without distortion! Pressing this button allows you to add
simulated amplifier and speaker distortion to your sound. Try the following sample parameter:
Ê
Press the [DRAWBAR DISTORT] button (so it lights).
Ë Press [NEXT] as necessary until 'Threshold N' appears in the LCD.
Ì
Set the threshold level (-10-10) with the [+]/[-] buttons. (Hold on to your ears when you get to the '10'
setting!)
All '[DRAWBAR DISTORT] Parameters' are listed on page 118.
