4.2 WHAT ARE PRESETS AND HOW TO USE THEM
The most famous electromechanic organs were also equipped with drawbars combinations through which
factory Presets could be used,
without the need to manually change the position of the drawbars. These
combinations, which back then could not be modified by the user, were
called Presets and could be accessed
through the first octave of the keyboard, characterised by inverted key colours and therefore called Black
Octave.
Legend
and
Legend Classic
have a Black Octave for each manual and includes 9 Presets, that can be
recalled through the keys from C# to A.
Legend Live
has two Preset for each manual. To recall them, press the buttons [UPPER PRESETS 1] and
[UPPER PRESETS 2] for the upper manual, or [LOWER PRESETS 1] and [LOWER PRESETS 2] for the lower
manual.
As in the original organs, the pedalboard has no Preset.
EDITING AND SAVING PRESETS
To edit and store a

4.3 PERCUSSION
The percussion, typical feature of electromechanical organs, provides a replication of a harmonic that is added
to those set through drawbars, with a rapid attack and an exponential decay. On the original instrument,
percussions are generated only when the drawbar Set B is selected, and the sound generated by the drawbar
1' was disabled when percussion was active:
Legend
/
Legend Classic
/
Legend Live
also has these
features.

NB
Keep in mind that, as in the original tonewhells organs, in the Presets:
-
it is possible to save the state of the drawbars of Set A only,
-
the state of the percussion and Vibrato/Chorus controls cannot be saved.
