Creating Organ Sounds
Percussion adds a sharply decaying component to the beginning of
the sound, giving the sound more crispness. When you play legato,
percussion is added only to the first note you play. When you play
staccato, percussion is added to each note.
* Percussion can be added only to the upper part’s organ sound.
Percussion cannot be added to the lower part, the pedal part, or to
ensemble sounds.

organ. The Function mode setting “Percussion H-Bar Level” lets you specify how much the organ volume will decrease when the [SOFT] button is
