POLY-VOLUME —
This is the normal expression mode setting where the expression
data is distributed among the appropriate MIDI channels.
POLY-VELOCITY
— This setting should be selected if you are using a percussion-type
voice from a sound module or an external MIDI keyboard. For example, if a digital
piano sound were played from the organ keyboard through MIDI Channel 1, the piano
could be made to sound more realistic. By opening the Swell expression shoe, the piano
strings would appear to be struck harder than when the Swell pedal was in the closed
position.
Important!
This mode setting should only be used if your Allen Organ does not contain
velocity sensitive keying.
Note:
In POLY-VELOCITY mode, all expression information is sent in key velocity
form. Changes in velocity will occur only when a new key is struck. Consequently, if
you change the position of the Swell pedal after a key is struck there will be no change in
velocity until a new key is struck. Use this mode only when a velocity-sensitive external
MIDI device is connected. If this mode is selected when recording to a sequencer, the
expression on the organ will not function when playing back from the sequencer.
SWELL-VOLUME
— This mode setting causes MIDI expression data to be sent only
on the Swell MIDI channel.
Some early sequencers can only interpret one volume
message.
NO EXPRESSION
— No MIDI expression (volume) data sent.
8. MIDI Sustain Kick Switch

operates MIDI sustain. This function can be assigned to any one of or all of the
instrument’s manuals. Advance to the 'MIDI SUSTAIN' window function
