Ninth Drawbar

A ninth drawbar (Foot 1 3/5') has been added to the Drawbar
page, to more precisely reflect the original layout of electro-
mechanical organs.
Defined Nuance Control (DNC) parameters
An extensive set of new parameters has been added to the Sound
mode, to allow for editing of the new DNC system. Please refer
to the instructions starting from "Sound > Basic: Sound Basic"
below for details.
Sound > Basic: Sound Basic
The Sound > Basic > Sound Basic page has been modified to
include the "Legato as OSC Trigger" section:
Transpose Range
Note: Set these (general) values so that all RX Noises assigned to
any Oscillator fall out of the Transpose Range. For example, if you
assigned an RX Noise to a G7 on OSC1, and an RX Noise to an A7
on OSC2, set the "Top Key" value no higher than F#7 (just below
the lowest RX Noise).
Legato as OSC Trigger
The parameters included in this section are to be considered
when a note is played 'legato' , i.e., with no gap with the previous
note. These parameters are valid for the whole Sound (all oscilla-
tors).
Max Time
This delay allows notes to be considered Legato, even if there is a
small gap before them. This is useful to avoid some notes in a
chord are played Legato, and some others Staccato.
1...999 ms Notes played with a small gap are still considered
Legato notes. A value of approx. 15 ms is usually
considered effective when playing chords.
Max Range
This is the range (in semitones) within the Legato is considered.
If you play a wider interval, the note is considered Staccato. This
is typical of some acoustic instruments, where legato is only pos-
sible within a small interval, but not on wider ones.
As an example, please try the Sound "Nylon Guitar DNC", where
the Max Range is 5 semitones. Play legato with intervals smaller
than 5 semitones, and you will hear how smoother legato notes
will become. Play legato with wider intervals, and legato
smoothing will be lost.
1...127 st Max range in semitones.
