Setting Up
REVERB, PEDAL SUSTAIN, COUPLER
Many Organists prefer their PEDAL (Bass) voices to smoothly decay in the style of a
String Bass. Depressing the [PEDAL SUSTAIN] tab turns this function “ON.” When
this function is active, the LED will light.
Some Organists prefer to play the Bass parts on the GREAT manual instead of the
Pedals. Depressing the [PEDAL TO GREAT] tab will bring the pedal voice to the
lowest range of the GREAT (lower) keyboard. When this function is active, the LED
will light.
Some Classical and Sacred music requires a more complex sound to be available on
the pedals. Depressing the [GREAT TO PEDAL] tab allows the current registration
of the GREAT (lower) manual to be played with the pedalboard. When this function
is active, the LED will light.
