DB-3 Drawbar Organ
6. PERCUSSION
The percussion, an effect typical of the electromagnetic
organ, provides a repetition of a harmonic added to those
preset using the drawbars, with quick attack and
exponential decay.
In the original instrument, the sound produced by the 1' drawbar was eliminated when the
percussion was activated: the DB-3 also reproduces this feature.
For activating the percussion feature, there are two buttons in the PERCUSSION section
of the front panel marked [2nd] and [3rd].
The [2nd] button activates the percussion one octave above the fundamental note you are
playing, while the [3rd] button adds the percussion one thirteenth above the fundamental.
N.B.
The [2nd] and [3rd] buttons are self-disabling. It is therefore not possible to use the two percussion options
simultaneously
The volume of the percussion can also be regulated using the [NORM/SOFT] switch.
When the LED of the key is off, the volume of the percussion will be normal; when [NORMAL/
SOFT] is pressed the LED comes on and the volume of the percussion will be reduced.
You can use the [SLOW/DECAY] button to set the percussion decay time in both modes.
When the LED of the key is off, the decay time will be standard, while when [SLOW/
DECAY] is pressed the LED will light up and the decay time will be reduced, giving a
“shorter” percussion effect.
