User Manual LiVE III AGO

It is advisable not to use the Manual Bass while playing the pedal board to avoid 
double bass tones. 

Manual Bass (MB): 
Couples the Pedal monophonic to Manual II. Only the lowest key that is played on 
Manual II is coupled from the Pedal to Manual II. 
If only the lowest key of a chord is released, the pedal key activated by the 
Manual Bass function is dropped until a new lowest key is played.  
Activate the Manual Bass with the MB-piston. 
 

 

 
 
 
Cantus Firmus (CF):

  

Cantus firmus: Latin for ‘fixed voice’ or in organs ‘solo voice’ or ‘melody coupler’. 
Couples Manual III monophonic to Manual II. Only the highest key that is played 
on Manual II is coupled from Manual III to Manual II. 
With use of a solo registration on Manual III in this way a solo is heard while 
playing only on Manual II. 
If only the highest key of a chord is released, the key activated by the Cantus 
Firmus function is dropped until a new highest key is played.  
Activate the Cantus Firmus with the CF-piston. 
 

 

 

Transposer (TRANS.): 
The Transposer function shifts the pitch by half-tone 
increments (from -8 to +8). The transposer setting can 
be read on the display (

Trans: …

). 

 
1.  Press the TRANS.-piston. 
2.  Use the - and + pistons to set the pitch. 
3.  When the transposer change needs to be saved, 

press the ENTER-piston in the time the TRANS. piston is lit. 

 
Cancel function (0): 
Pressing the 0-piston cancels all registrations.  

 
 

 

Capture memory  

Through use of the capture memory, a registration can 
be activated with just one piston. The capture memory 
consists of 50 levels (for ORGAN 1 – 5 = 250 levels). 
These levels can be seen on the display (

Mem:…

). Each 

level has eight memory locations (pistons 1-8). The  
capture memory locations are not pre-programmed 
and can be programmed by the user. The capture 
memory has (50 levels times 8 pistons locations, equals) 400 locations per sample 
set. Thus, the total amount of free programmable capture memory places in the 
LiVE III AGO is (400 locations times 5 Sample banks, equals) 2000. 
 

It is advisable not to use the Cantus Firmus in combination with the coupler III-II 
because this overrules the solo function of the Cantus Firmus.
