Settings for the orchestral sounds
The 538/i548 contains three parameters that can be set
for each orchestral sound separately. They allow you to
set the volume, to specify whether or not the orchestral
sound in question should be velocity sensitive, and how
it should behave when the 538/i548’s sustain
footswitch is used.

The possibilities are: “Vol” (volume), “Vel” (velocity)
and “FtSw” (footswitch).
(9) Use the data entry wheel to set the desired value.
Note: Each time you switch on the organ, the “FtSw” parame-
ter is reset as follows: ORCH PEDAL and ORCH MAN II= “Off”
for all sounds, ORCH MAN I= “Sust” for all sounds. To return to
your assignments at that stage, simply select a memory.
This setting needs to be saved to a general or
divisional memory.

value between “2” and “127”.
Keyboard velocity (Kbd): The keyboard responds to
velocity of your fingers.
FtSw Off, Sustain, Sost, Soft
Sust(ain) : Also called “Damper” or “Hold”, the
footswitch allows you to hold the notes you play
on the keyboard in much the same way as on an
acoustic piano.
Sost(enuto) : The footswitch sustains only the notes
of the keys that were already pressed when you
pressed the pedal.
Soft : When you hold the footswitch and play the
keyboard, the orchestral sound will have a softer
tone.
