Room Modeling
The sound we normally hear allows us to perceive the distance from the sound source because it
is a combination of two different types of sounds: The sound that reaches our ears directly and
the sound that reaches us with some delay after it reflects off of walls and other surfaces. A
component of Dimensional Sound Modeling, the
Rodgers Sound Modeling ™ system allows
you to specify the acoustic you desire for the 657/677.
Room Modeling does more than add simple decay to the sound of the instrument, it uses leading-
edge technology to go beyond three-dimensional sound and create a sense of distance, shape and
ambience to what is heard in the room.
The Room Modeling menus allow you to specify the size of the room and type of wall covering
for the 657/677 acoustic. For example, if you wanted to hear the instrument in a large room, you
could select
“Cathedral” ; if you wanted to change the wall covering from a soft to a hard
material, you could select “Marble.”
It is also possible to change the amount of acoustic treatment heard in the room using the
Ambience Depth control.
Adjusting Room Modeling Settings
To change the Room Modeling Settings:
1. Press and hold SET .
2. Rotate the Select knob counter-clockwise until ROOM TYPE , or WALL TYPE
show in the display window.
3. Rotate the Alpha dial to select a room type or wall type.
4. (Optional): Rotate the Select knob to select Ambience Depth and adjust the
setting with the Alpha dial.
5. Press General Cancel (‘ 0 ’) to exit.
You can preview the changes by playing the organ while adjusting the settings.
Normally, these changes are temporary. However, you can perform an Audio Save so that
the changes are retained when the instrument is turned off. See “Audio Save” on page 32.
