Volume
This parameter sets the level of the keyclick; the noise decays from the level you set here. This
level is scaled by the drawbar levels, as well as the expression pedal level.
Decay
This parameter sets the basic decay time of the noise envelope. Smaller values produce a
shorter burst.
Velocity Track
This parameter controls the degree to which key velocity affects the key click volume. A
value of zero means that the key velocity has no effect on the key click volume (which is like
a real tone wheel organ). Other values add volume as the velocity increases. This parameter
typically only applies when playing a KB3 program from an external MIDI device.
Pitch
This parameter sets the basic pitch of the key click noise, relative to the highest tonewheel’s
pitch. The pitch is controlled by a steep lowpass filter applied to white noise. The filter’s cut
off frequency is controlled relative to key number, higher keys move the cutoff frequency up,
lower keys move the cutoff frequency down.
Random
This parameter controls the degree to which a random amount of amplitude variation is
added to the key click.
Retrig Threshold
This parameter lets you set the volume level below which key click must decay before it will
be retriggered.
Note Attack
This parameter controls the attack characteristic of notes. Normal provides a smoothed
attack, while a setting of Hard has an instant attack and will produce an audible click, in
addition to any amount of key click specified with the other parameters on this page (you
might prefer not to specify any additional key click when you use this setting). PercHard sets
a hard attack level for percussion only; notes without percussion use a normal attack.
Note Release
This parameter controls the release characteristic of notes. A setting of Normal has a
smoothed release, while a setting of Hard has an instant release. Hard will produce an
audible click.
