3.5 The Advanced Section
This section allows you to make further changes to the way sound is generated.
It has the following elements.
Drawbar Leakage lets you manually control the amount of each
drawbar that leaks into the ones either side of it. Set to zero, there is no
leakage.
Tonewheel leakage controls the amount of signal that is allowed to leak
from each tonewheel. The more leakage you allow, the more imprecise
the sound because the tonewheels will all start to interfere with each
other. However allowing some leakage can help to give a more
authentic sound.
Brilliance controls the amount of boost applied to the middle and upper
frequencies.
Background Noise can be added for a more deliberately imperfect
sound.
Polyphonic Percussion can be switched on or off
