NO CHORD (N.C.):
When a style is playing there are three ways to achieve a No Chord, printed N.C. in music.
1.
Play a group of three, four, or five consecutive keys at the same time on the Lower Keyboard, as
illustrated below. For example: C, C#, D or F, F#, G, A
b
.
2.
Press the
Drum Only
button, turning the feature on for the duration of the N.C.
3.
Assign the
No Chord
feature to a
Touch Bar
or to a
Foot Switch
.
See
Feature Page 9
on page 86 for the procedure.
When
MCS
is active, the touch screen will display the lower keyboard chord being played. Look under the
word Chord on the screen.
RECAP:
MCS
forms chords the Easy-Play way or the Traditional way without changing any features.
A TIP FROM LOWREY:
When playing Minor chords, Seventh chords or Diminished chords with MCS, the organ requires two notes
be played as described above. The Tribute can enable you to play that second note of the MCS chord from
another part of the organ. For example, you can change the
Touch Bar
from the
Fill
function to the
Chord -
Minor
function, which will let you form a
C Minor Chord
by playing a
C
note on the lower keyboard while
touching the
Touch Bar
instead of playing the
C
and
E
b
notes on the lower keyboard, as shown previously.
You can assign the
Chord-Minor
function to the long (natural) pedals also. A
C Minor Chord
could be played
by playing a
C
note on the lower keyboard while pressing down any of the long pedals with your foot.
See
Feature Page 9
on page 86.
All other chords require three, four, or five
notes to be played. For most other chords,
please refer to the
MCS CHORD CHART
on
page 132.
Major chords require only ONE note be played.
Minor chords require only TWO notes be played.
Seventh chords require only TWO notes be played.
Diminished chords require only Two notes be played.
