Playing the Organ
Adding Crispness to the Sound
(Percussion)
Percussion adds an attack-type sound to the beginning of the note to give the sound
more crispness. When you play legato (smoothly and connectedly), percussion will
be added only to the first-played note. When you play staccato (articulating each
note separately), percussion will be added to all notes.
