Playing the Organ

Button	Parameter	Page
		Controls the Glide function for the Oth-
	OTHER TONES GLIDE	er Tones. The pitch of the Other Tones
[4]		will change while the pedal is pressed,
		and will gradually return to the original
		pitch when the pedal is released.
	PRESET UP	Steps sequentially through the presets.
[5]		Each time the pedal is pressed, the next
		registration will be selected.
	OVERDRIVE	The depth of overdrive will be con-
[6]		trolled. This is especially effective when
		assigned to the expression pedal.
		Select this when you want to use the ex-
		pression pedal to control the volume of
	OTHER TONES	the Other Tones.
[7]		While this function is being used, the ex-
	EXPRESSION
		pression pedal connected to the EX-
		PRESSION PEDAL jack will affect only
		the volume of the organ.
		The same function that is assigned to the
		D BEAM controller will also be assigned
	D BEAM SYNC	to the control pedal. When you change
[8]		the function that is assigned to the D
		BEAM controller, the function that is as-
		signed to the control pedal will also
		change.

		As you depress the pedal connected to
		the EXPRESSION PEDAL jack, the vol-
		ume of all harmonic bars will gradually
		become louder. When the pedal is fully
	CRESCENDO	depressed, the volume will be as speci-
[1]		fied by the harmonic bars, and the rota-
		ry will be in the FAST state. As you
		return the pedal toward yourself, the
		volume will decrease, and when the ex-
		pression pedal is returned all the way
		toward yourself, there will be no sound.
		When you depress the pedal, the ring
	RING MODULATOR	modulator (p. 35) will be applied. The
[2]		depth to which you depress the pedal
		will control the depth of the ring modu-
		lator.
[3]	TONE WHEEL BRAKE	The wheel brake will be applied (p. 35).
[4]	SPRING SHOCK	This lets you produce the sound of a
		spring reverb unit being jarred (p. 35).

If you want to stop editing, press the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] button.

3 Press the [WRITE] button to finalize the function assigned to the control

pedal.

The function assigned to the control pedal will be saved.

While the setting are being saved, the [1]–[8] buttons will blink.

NOTE

When the “SPRING SHOCK” function is assigned to the D Beam controller or the control pedal, please be aware that raising the reverb level excessively will produce a high-volume impact sound. If you want to reduce the volume of the impact sound, use the [REVERB] knob to adjust the reverb level (p. 37).

If you press the VIBRATO AND CHORUS [ON] button, the setting will return to its initial value.

NOTE

Never turn off the power while the setting are being saved.
