A VOLUME slider

I TUNE button

BPEDAL slider

This slider controls the volume of the PEDAL part (see p. 9).

CPOWER SWITCH button

Press this button once to switch the C-190 on. Press it again to switch the C-190 off.

DPEDAL tilt tabs

These tabs allow you to switch on/off the corre- sponding organ bass sound (SUB BASS, OCTAVE BASS or BOMBARDE) or orchestral bass tone (ACC BASS, STRINGED or CELLO).

EMANUAL I slider

This slider controls the volume of the MANUAL I sec- tion (see p. 9).

FMANUAL I tilt tabs

When the ORCHESTRA button does not light, these tabs allow you to switch the corresponding organ registers on and off. You can activate all registers if you like.

When the ORCHESTRA button lights, you can press one of these to select the orchestral sound whose name is printed below the tabs.

GII/I tab (“Coupler”)

The C-190 provides two divisions: “MANUAL I” and “MANUAL II”. This tab allows you to specify whether those two divisions are to be played simultaneously (by the same keys) or via separate key ranges.

At first, the C-190 is tuned like any electronic musical instrument, with the A4= 440Hz. As long as you do not change that setting, this button doesn’t light. You can change the tuning frequency, however, and save your setting to the global area.

JUP/DOWN buttons

These buttons allow you to change settings (like the tuning value or the reverb setting, for example). They are usually assigned to the reverb effect.

KORCHESTRA button

Press this button if you want to select the C-190’s orchestral sounds. One of those sounds can be added to the organ registration in effect. See p. 15.

LSPLIT/SET button

This button has two functions: it allows you to shift the split point between MANUAL I and MANUAL II to a different note (when the [II/I] tab is off) and to save your settings to one of the eight memories (2 banks x 4 locations). See pages 12 and 19.

MMEMORY buttons (M 1/2, 1~4, 0)

Your C-190 comes with four memories and two banks (for a total of eight memories) that can be accessed via the [M1/2] and [1]~[4] buttons. Press the [0] button to cancel the settings of the currently selected memory and mute all registers and orches- tral sounds.

HTRANSPOSE button

Use this button to transpose the keyboard. This allows you to go on playing in your favorite key, while the notes you play are sounded in another key. See p. 17.
