KB3 Editor: The KEYCLK Page

The Key Click feature adds a decaying burst of pitched noise to the attack of notes. Unlike the

percussion, the key click is “multi-triggered,” which means that every new note will trigger it.

The parameters on this page primarily control the decay, volume, and pitch of the key click.

Parameter Range of Values

Key Click Off, On

Volume -96.0 to 0.0 dB, in 0.5-dB increments

Decay 0.005 to 1.280 seconds, in 0.005-second increments

VelTrk 0 to 100%

Pitch 1 to 120

Random 0 to 100%

Retrig Thresh -96.0 to 0.0 dB, in 0.5-dB increments

Note Attack Normal, Hard, PercHard

Note Release Normal, Hard

KeyClick

This is where you turn Key Click on or o. With KeyClick set to O, you may still hear a click

depending on your Note Attack and Note Release settings (see below.)

Volume

This parameter sets the level of the keyclick; the noise decays from the level you set here. This

level is scaled by the drawbar levels, as well as the expression pedal level. Keyclick volume can

also be scaled by MIDI CC 89; value 0 = -96 dB, value 127 = the level set for the

Volume parameter. Values between 0 and 127 scale between -96 dB and the level set for the

Volume parameter. When using CC 89, the value displayed for the Volume parameter will not

change.

Decay

Sets the basic decay time of the noise envelope. Smaller values produce a shorter burst.

VelTrk

Controls the degree to which key velocity aects the key click volume. A value of zero means that

the key velocity has no eect on the key click volume (which is like a real tone wheel organ).

Other values add volume as the velocity increases.
