Adding Sparkle to the Sound (Percussion)

Percussion adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to give the sound more
crispness. The attack sound changes according to the value.
The percussion on tone wheel organs did not apply to all notes that were played. When notes
were played legato (smoothly and connectedly), percussion was applied only to the first-played
note. When notes were played staccato (articulating each note separately), percussion was
applied to all notes. This method is referred to as single trigger algorithm, and is a very important
element in organ performance. On the FP-7 faithfully simulates this characteristic.
