Selecting other organ timbres

Some of the speaking stops on the C-190 have alternate voices that can be selected and used in performance via the “Voice Palette” feature. Voice Palette gives you a tremendous amount of added flexibility. For example, you can choose a Spitzflöte 4’ rank instead of the Rohrflöte 4’ rank assigned to the MANUAL I tilt tab of the same name.

Voice Palette was so named because it greatly increases the number of tonal colors at your disposal; there are many more ranks available to you than the number of actual tilt tabs on the instrument.

Making a Voice Palette selection

(1)Press and hold the lower part of a tilt tab and watch the MEMORY buttons ([0]~[4]).

One of those buttons lights steadily to indicate the rank that is currently assigned to the tilt tab. Flashing MEMORY buttons indicate locations that contain other ranks you can use instead of the one you get by simply activating the tilt tab.

(2)Release the tilt tab.

Some MEMORY buttons continue to flash, while one of them lights.

Note: If you pressed and held a tilt tab by accident and now see flashing MEMORY buttons, press any other button or tilt tab to leave the Voice Palette selection mode.

(3) Press the MEMORY button of the rank you want to use.

Note: You can also select a Voice Palette rank by holding down the desired tilt tab while pressing a MEMORY [0]~[4] but- ton.
