Globals
The Globals parameter affects LFO2, ASR2, and FUNs 2 and 4. When Globals is set to
Off, these four control sources are local; they affect each pair of tone wheels individually.
They begin operating each time a tone wheel is turned on. When Globals is set to On, these
control sources become global, and they affect every tone wheel of the current program
simultaneously. Since all tone wheels are turned on nearly simultaneously when a program is
selected, you typically will not notice a difference between having Globals set to On or Off.
In some cases, it may be possible to hear differences in the modulation of each pair of tone
wheels when using these control sources with Globals set to Off.
Lower/Upper Xpose (Lower/Upper Transpose)
These two parameters let you transpose the upper and/or lower tone wheels in semitone steps
away from their default tunings.

Drawbars Parameters
Steps
This parameter lets you specify the increments by which drawbar volumes will change.
Choose either 0–8, to approximate the drawbar settings on actual organs, or choose 0–127
for a finer degree of resolution.
Volume
Use the Volume parameter to set the preset volume of each of the nine drawbars. The
available values will be 0–8 or 0–127, depending on the setting of the Steps parameter.
