For activating the percussion, there are two buttons in the
PERCUSSION section of the front panel called [2nd] and [3rd]. The
[2nd] button activates the second harmonic percussion (the octave
of the 8
’
Drawbar), while the [3rd] adds the third harmonic percussion
(the octave and fifth of the 8
’
Drawbar, i.e. the twelfth).
N.B.:
The [2nd] and [3rd] buttons are mutually exclusive, so the two types of
percussion cannot be used simultaneously.
It is also possible to regulate the volume of the percussion by means of the [SOFT] switch
When the key LED is off, the percussion volume will be normal; when [SOFT] is pressed
the LED comes on and the percussion volume will decrease.
You can use the [DECAY] button to set the time the percussion takes to fade, choosing
between two alternatives. When the key LED is off, the decay time will be standard, while
if [DECAY] is pressed, the LED comes on and the decay time will be shorter, making the
percussion effect “shorter”.
It is also possible to make all the settings with regard to the keyboard range to which the
percussion is to apply, and the volume of the Drawbars with the percussion active.
When the [SOUND] on the OB5 left panel is pressed, the display will show:
so locate the cursor on the
[PERC]
field and press the [ENTER] or [SOUND] buttons;
the display will show the following video page:
