5. Inserting beats—at the end of the INTRO, end of each VERSE, the end of the FINAL
VERSE, and the last note of the AMEN.
Some music directors may wish to pause a few beats between verses. To do this, just tell
the Hymnal how many beats you want the pause to last. The Hymnal can insert pauses up
to nine beats in length. The selected number of beats will be added to the last note of the
INTRO, the last note of each verse (including the final verse), and also to the final note of
the AMEN when the AMEN function is selected.
To accomplish this, simply add 5000 to the number of beats that you desire. For example,
if you want to insert four beats, press
,
,
,
, ENTER
. The Hymnal will then play
the selected hymn, and insert three extra beats plus one beat of silence—for a total of four
beats.
There will always be one beat of silence, for easier location of the next downbeat. So be
sure to include the built-in one-beat rest in the total number of beats that you desire. This
function will continue to affect all hymn selections until the Hymnal is instructed
otherwise, even if it is turned off.
To return to zero beats being inserted, simply type
,

,
, ENTER
.
6. Change the performance style.
When the Hymnal is first turned on, the hymn/performance style combination it selects is
Hymn 1, Style 20. Find the Sound Combination and Arrangement Preset Code tables in the
"Performance Styles" section of this manual. Looking in the Sound Combination Preset
Code table we see that the 0 (in "20") will play all four parts with the Pipe Organ sound. In
the Arrangement Preset Code table the 2 (in "20") tells the Hymnal to play the soprano and
alto at pitch in the
MELODY/SOPRANO
and
ACC. 1/ALTO
parts, respectively. The
tenor and bass, at pitch, will be combined on the
ACC. 2/TENOR
part. Finally, the bass
will be played an octave lower than written on the
CONTRA/BASS
part. Since a zero was
applied as the default for the highest of the three digits of the Performance Style code
(technically "020"), the style will not change with each new verse. See the Multi-Verse and
Drums Preset Codes table for a list of options for the “hundredths” digit of the code. Try
other styles with other hymns (e. g. Style 135 on Hymn 305).
See the "Performance Styles" section of this manual for an explanation of the numbering
system and a comprehensive list of the available styles.
4. Alter the playback tempo.
This can be accomplished with either the
TEMPO UP/DOWN
buttons or with the Tap-A-
Tempo function. To use Tap-A-Tempo, tap the
button on the front panel (not on the
remote control) at the tempo you desire. The Hymnal will then follow along at the tapped
rate. The Tap-A-Tempo function usually needs about 3 or 4 taps to accurately estimate the
tap input.
