* What is the leading bass function?

The function that sounds the lowest note of a fingered chord

as the bass tone is called “Leading Bass.” When this function

is turned on, the Bass Tone changes when chord inversions

are used. Usually the tonic of the chord you play sounds as

the bass tone.

* What is the rotary effect?

This adds a sort of spinning effect to the organ sound, similar

to the sound when a rotary speaker is used.

Changing the speed increases or decreases the speed of this

spinning effect.
