The Tone Levers
To the left of the upper and lower manuals are
series of tone
levers which
control
the Electone
voices
which
will
sound
when
the keys are de-
pressed.
They are divided
into groups for upper,
lower
and
pedals,
so that different
registrations
can be set for each.

Each
lever provides two methods of control. One
is by continuously
moving the lever from off to
full, to achieve the exact setting for that tone, and
thus balancing the overall tone setting with perfect
precision. Each lever also has two easy-to-feel click
stops,
at 1/3 and 2/3 positions.
This lets you
refind any setting with mathematical precision and
no guesswork
in a matter of seconds.
PITCHES
OR FOOTAGES
The BK-4B has two different pitch levels, indicated
by the numbers
16' and 8'.
These are standard
organ
abbreviations
showing
the tone's
pitch in
relation
to the fundamental
(written
note).
An
8' tone will sound just as it has been written.
A
16' tone
(meaning
that the wave
length of the
vibrations are twice as long as 8', or half as fast)
will provide a tone exactly one octave lower than
the written note.
(max. volume)
ONE OCTAVE
BELOW

FUNDAMENTAL
NOTE:
When
the Auto
Bass/Chord
section
is used, the tone color of the lower manual
voices will
change
from
Horn to Piano, and
from
Cello to Guitar.
