(4) Select the “Tremulant I” or “Tremulant II” parame-
ter.
This depends on whether you wish to change the
behavior of the
[TREMULANT]
tab in the MANUAL I or
MANUAL II section.
You can also select this page by holding down
[SET]
while pressing
[TREMULANT¥I]
or
[TREMULANT¥II]
.
(5) Select the “Depth” (intensity), “Rate” (speed), or
“Pitch” (detune) parameter.
(6) Confirm by pressing the
[QUICK¥MENU]
piston.
(7) Use the data entry wheel to set the desired value.
The setting range is 0~127 for both “Depth” and
“Rate”, and 1~12 for “Pitch”. Setting “Depth to “0”
means that the tremulant effect is inaudible (“127”
represents to strongest effect).
Similarly, setting “Rate” to “0” means that the
modulation is extremely slow, while “127” is probably
way too fast for most applications. The higher the
“Pitch” value you select, the stronger the pitch
fluctuations.
(8) Save your setting if you wish to keep it.
See page 42, or proceed as follows: Press and hold
[SET]
+
[0]
for a few seconds.
(9) Press and hold the
[ø¥EXIT]
piston to return to the
main page.
Using orchestral sounds
The 538/i548 has a large number of internal Orchestral
voices accessible through tabs labeled
ORCH/MIDI
PEDAL , ORCH/MIDI MAN.I or ORCH/MIDI MAN.II .
These orchestral voices are listed below. The orchestral
voices can be played alone or together with organ
stops. Only one orchestral voice per division can be
played at a time.
Orchestral voices played on manual II and manual I are
velocity-sensitive, but orchestral voices played on the
Pedalboard are not. All voices are programmed to
sustain if the sustain footswitch (next to the expression
shoe) is activated and all orchestral voices are affected
by the expression shoe. This can be changed, however
(see below).
The organ tremulants do not affect the orchestral
voices. Orchestral voices are unavailable if an ORCH/
MIDI coupler is set to “MIDI”. MIDI parameters, such as
“Octave”, “Chorus”, etc., do not affect orchestral voices.
Velocity and the footswitch, on the other hand, apply
both to the orchestral voices and MIDI messages.
Selecting orchestral voices
(1) Press and hold the
[SET]
piston.
(2) Press the lower part of an ORCH/MIDI tab (it
lights).
(3) Release the [SET] piston.
(4) Rotate the data entry wheel until the name of the
desired orchestral voice appears in the display.
This setting needs to be saved to a general or
divisional memory.
(5) Press and hold the
[ø¥EXIT]
piston to return to the
main page.
