9th Organ drawbar function

Post by SledDriver »

I notice that the 9th drawbar (1') is inactive if I have any organ percussion active. Disable the organ percussion and the 9th drawbar now works as a proper drawbar.

Is this a bug? Certainly the VST Hammonds I use on my DAW have both percussion working concurrently with the 9th drawbar.

Haven't got a real Hammond here to test and it's ages since I played a real one, but I don't remember having this problem.

This is how it works on Hammond organs, for technical reasons. Roland probably copied the behavior because they want their emulation to be like the real thing as much as possible. I think it's the right thing to do, but suppose it would make sense to have a global setting for it.

OK I'm fine with that.

So the VST's have it wrong! :)
