Part Number: 910369 Rev. [. . . ] Press the middle lower display button to shift to the next four drawbars (2-2/3', 2', 1-3/5', 1-1/3'), or the middle upper display button to shift to the last four drawbars (2', 1-3/5', 1-1/3', 1'). Press the left lower display button to return to the first four drawbars. You can assign specific drawbars to the sliders in the drawbar assignment editor. This is usually determined by how you're playing the organ in performance, and which timbre changes you're likely to make while playing. When you're on the drawbar edit page, press the Right button to enter the assignment menu. Press the lower left button to choose a slider to reassign; press the lower middle button to choose which drawbar that slider will affect. Note: If you choose one of the preset assignment configurations, you'll lose some or even all of the KB3 slider and drawbar assignments you've made. If you want to preserve custom slider and drawbar assignments, you can save them in a Panel Memory (see page 3-17).

Using Your V150/V110 Reverb and Effects
Percussion, Chorus/Vibrato, and Rotary Speaker Effects
In the drawbar edit page, you can press the right-hand display buttons to turn on and off the Percussion and Chorus/Vibrato features of the organ model. Press the lower-right display button to turn the percussion effect on, and press it again to turn it off. When Percussion is active, the six buttons just to the right of the sliders are reassigned to vary the Percussion parameters listed below them. The three parameters are: Percussion 2nd / 3rd Harmonic: varies the tone of the percussion sound Percussion Normal / Soft: varies the volume of the percussion sound Percussion Slow / Fast: varies the decay rate of the percussion sound These buttons simulate the traditional rocker switches found on drawbar organs: either the left or the right hand side is lit, indicating which way the virtual rocker switch is tilted. Turning off the percussion effect will turn off all the lights in these buttons. Note: While in KB3 mode, the buttons used by percussion don't work for their primary functions. For example, the Octave Shift button becomes the 3rd-Harmonic button for KB3 sounds. Press the upper-right display button to turn the Chorus/Vibrato effect on, and press it again to turn it off. When the Chorus/Vibrato is turned on, the name of the effect is listed in the display field. The types available are V1, V2, V3, C1, C2, and C3, corresponding to the sound of traditional drawbar organs. Emulation of the rotary speaker often used with drawbar organs is done in the Effects section of the V150/V110. The left pedal--usually assigned to the Soft function when playing a piano sound--is assigned to switch the rotary sound from slow to fast.
Reverb and Effects
The V150/V110 utilizes state-of-the-art digital signal processing (DSP) to simulate a range of sound ambiance, both natural and artificial. Both the reverb and the effects have been carefully designed by Kurzweil to enhance all of the sounds on the instrument, and you can simply enjoy them as is. However, if you are using the V150/V110 to create songs, or to play with other instruments, you may wish to alter the default settings.
What is Reverb?
Reverb is short for reverberation, which refers to the natural echoing effect of sound reflecting off the walls of an enclosed space. These reflections blend together to produce a mix or "wash" of sound that adds warmth and ambiance to music. [. . . ] . C-32

V150/V110 Sounds (Organized by Sound ID)
The lists of sounds in this appendix are organized into memory banks. These aren't the same as the sound categories that you see labeled on the V150/V110's front panel. There are 128 sounds in Banks 0, 2, and 6, and a smaller number of sounds in Banks 1, 4, and 7. If you're controlling your V150/V110 from an external MIDI instrument, you can change sounds on the V150/V110 by sending Program Change messages from the MIDI instrument. [. . . ]
