Percussion Drawbar Level
On the original Hammond Organs with Touch-Response Percussion Control, such as the B-3, C-3, RT-3 and A-100, when
the Swell Manual "B" Preset Key is engaged, Percussion is "ON" at normal volume and a Drawbar setting is used, the
volume of the Swell Manual Drawbars is reduced slightly in order to preserve the musical balance between Swell and Great
Manuals. However, some pros would perform a modification so that the "B" Preset Drawbar settings would remain at full
volume even if Percussion were "ON" at normal volume. This Advanced Feature allows you to select either option.
When the “-3db” setting is chosen, the Drawbars will be reduced by "-3db" in volume when Percussion is "ON" at normal
volume. When “0db,” the volume of the Drawbars will stay at the same level, or "0db,” when Percussion is "ON" at normal
volume.
NOTE:
A “decibel” is a unit of measurement for the loudness of sound waves, and is usually abbreviated “db.”
