Setting the Parameters
BASS 1C - BASS 3C: ....... Triggers the specifi c Pedal part note.
PROCHORD CLOSE, OPEN:
Triggers the ProChord note for the Organ section with specifi ed voicing (close or open).
❸ FOOT SWITCH - RING MODE (G)
Th is sets the Ring side function, when the foot switch connected to the foot switch
jack is of the TRS specifi cations.
NOTE: The “ProChord” function cannot be chosen via the “ring”.

EXPRESSION
❹
EXPRESSION - SOURCE (G)
Sets the source of Expression control.
PED (NORM):
For the (Optional) Hammond-Suzuki EXP-50J pedal etc.
PED (REV):
For using a Korg XVP-20 type of Expression Pedal etc.
MIDI: For using Expression information received at the UPPER Keyboard channel.
BOTH (NORM), BOTH (REV):
Expression value will controlled by both pedal and MIDI in.
❺
EXPRESSION - MONITOR
Displays the current value of Expression. In case of no sound or no change when
the Expression pedal is pressed, this monitor shows whether the Expression value
changes or not, so you may discover the cause of trouble (if any). Th
is can also be an
indicator when playing from low volume to fade in.
❻ EXPRESSION - MINIMUM LEVEL (G)
Sets the volume at minimum Expression.
Th
e setting range is OFF, -40dB to 0dB. At OFF the keyboard is silent when Pedal is
at Minimum (all the way back). Th e other value points represent the lowest volume
that will be present at the Pedal’s minimum position.
❼ EXPRESSION - LIMIT LOW FREQUENCY (G)
❽ EXPRESSION - LIMIT HIGH FREQUENCY (G)
Sets the amount of Low or High Frequency to remain, when the Expression is set at
minimum.
Th
e setting range is OFF, -40dB to 0dB. At OFF the sound totally disappears, but
at other value points the set volume is kept, even if the Expression is at minimum.
❾ EXPRESSION - GAIN (S)
Sets the gain (range) of the connected Expression pedal.
Th
e setting range is 70 to 130%.
Depending on the type of the connected Expression pedals, the Expression value
may not change enough. In such case, adjust this parameter to obtain the desired
response.
❿
EXPRESSION - CURVE (S)
Adjusts change of Expression value corresponding to the angle of the depressed Ex-
pression pedal.
Th
e setting range is 1 to 3. Refer each curve to the bottom right illustration or try
playing live to discern which curve is correct for you.
NOTE: The parameters indicated by (S) are system parameters. They are recorded when set,
and are common in each Patch.
EXPRESSION LIMIT
One of the human ear’s characteristics is that when
the volume falls, the sound of the high or low fre-
quencies becomes diffi
cult to hear. Using Expres-
sion limit, you can hear the revised frequency re-
sponse.
Vintage B-3/C-3 preamps age in diff erent ways-one
symptom is the organ’s timbre may change with
Expression pedal travel. This is a desirable charac-
teristic for some.

NOTE: The parameter with (P) indicated is
a Patch parameter, and is recorded to
each Patch. (G) indicates “Grobal param-
eter”, which is recorded upon being set,
and is common with each Patch.
PROCHORD
“ProChord” function which adds complex har-
monic voicing to single notes played on the UPPER
manual based on chord structures played on the
LOWER manual.
The ProChord by the foot switch aff ects only for
the Organ section.
