Chapter 79: DB-33 405
From left to right, each drawbar controls a dif-
ferent part of the harmonic spectrum, ranging
from low fundamentals to high harmonics.
When a drawbar is pulled out (downward), the
volume of the corresponding harmonic is in-
creased. When pushed in, (upward) it is de-
creased.
Key Click
Originally an artifact of the mechanical nature
of tonewheel organs, DB-33 gives you control
over the clicking sound made when a key is
played.
Turn the knob to set the level of click, from zero
to full.
Percussion
DB-33’s percussion feature adds a short burst of
additional harmonics at the beginning of each
note played.
On/Off Turns the percussion feature on and off.
Loud/Soft Sets the volume of the added har-
monic burst.
Short/Long Sets the length of the harmonic
burst.
3rd/2nd Sets the harmonic that is added, either
the 3rd or 2nd harmonic.
Master Level
This control sets the overall volume level. To
control the level of signal going to the rotary
speaker simulation (thus affecting tonal charac-
ter), use the Organ control in the Input section
of the Cabinet page. See “DB-33 Cabinet Page
Controls” on page 406. for more information.
Turn this knob to set the overall output volume.
This control is set, by default, the MIDI CC 7.
Rotation Speed Switch
This control switches the speed of rotation for
the rotating speaker cabinet.
Move this switch to the left (Slow) to set the ro-
tating speaker cabinet to slow rotation. Move
the switch to the right (Fast) for fast rotation.
Move it to the center (Brake) to stop the rota-
tion, or to slow it temporarily before switching
to another speed.
