Jazz Organ	121	0	16	4	An aggressive tonewheel electric organ, often heard in jazz and rock music. The

					between fast (pedal up) and slow (pedal down) rotary speaker, with several degrees in
					the middle (half pedal).
Perc.Org.1	121	0	17	3	As the above, but with the rotary speaker applied as a generated effect, and a more
					transparent sound. The leftmost pedal is used to switch between rotary speaker fast
					and slow (press for switch).
Perc.Org.2	121	1	17	3	A variation of the above. The leftmost pedal is used to switch between rotary speaker
					fast and slow (press for switch).

Legend:

Var.: Variation. CC0: Bank Select MSB. CC32: Bank Select LSB. PC: Program Change Number. Numbering is from 0-54; if the transmitting

device uses numbers from 1-55, you will need to increment the number by one. Osc: Number of oscillators used by the sound.

Notes:

*Program Change numbers comply with the General MIDI standard. However, only listed numbers have effect on the C-720, while other numbers are ignored.

**The GrandPiano, BriteGrand and MelloGrand sounds lose the EPx features when in Layer. This will help save polyphony.

***1 oscillator in case of mono drum samples, 2 oscillators in case of stereo drum samples.
