Percussion on a tonewheel organ
The percussion sound on a tonewheel organ does not apply
to all the keys you play. Percussion will apply only to those
keys that are simultaneously pressed from a state of no keys
being pressed.
If you play legato, percussion will apply only to the first note
you play. If you play staccato, percussion will apply to every
note.
