Organ Sounds and Ensemble Sounds

Organ sounds

You can play different organ sounds from each of the VR-700’s three parts.

The upper, lower, and pedal parts correspond to the upper organ, lower organ, and pedal organ sounds, respectively.

Ensemble sounds

In addition to organ sounds, you can also play ensemble sounds (p. 46). The VR-700 contains various ensemble sounds. You can play two ensemble sounds simultaneously.

The two ensemble sounds can be assigned to any desired parts.

The illustration below is a conceptual diagram of sounds assigned to the upper part and lower part.
