F2 Wha-Wha:

This is an amazing effect for guitar riffs but it can be used in many other situations. The option-

al Volume pedal is to be connected to control it better. The Wha-Wha effect can also be controlled by the
Modulation Wheel using the

Utility

menu and the

F3 Modulation

function where the

F7 Wha-Wha

function is

to be set as

F3 Delay:

This is used to enable the Delay effect on the Right section by pressing the relative function push

button repeatedly.

F4 Overdrive:

It gradually saturates the sound controlled by the optional Volume Pedal. It is one of the effects

required to simulate jazz and rock organs in the best way possible. The Overdrive cuts out the use of the
Distortion effect.

F5 Distorsor:

This enables the Distortion effect on the Right section, cutting out the use of the Overdrive.

The parameters available to control the microphone input are the following:

F6 Micro:

This enables, or otherwise, the use of the effects for the Right section on the microphone input.

F7 Direct:

This is used to modify the quantity of direct signal that goes to the audio output. It is modified using

the

VALUE +/-

push buttons.

F8 Reverb:

This indicates the quantity of Reverb assigned to the microphone input. The value is modified using

the

VALUE +/-

push buttons.

F9 Vocal Set:

This is used to select a Vocal Set of the Vocalizer without going through the Vocalizer menu

directly.

F10 Vocalizer:

This enables the Vocalizer effect on the microphone input.

F3 Portamento:

This activates the Portamento, or the Legato or the Mono mode set in the Utility menu for the Right timbre.

F4 HARMONY:

Allows you to harmonise the lead played on the

Right

section according to the chord played. Activating

Harmony

with

the relative push button displays a page from where you can select the type of harmonisation using the function but-
tons. It is not possible to activate more than one type of harmonisation as each selection deletes the previously select-
ed one. The following parameters are available:

F1 Full:

The notes of the chord played on the portion left to the split point are repeated on the right part and

added to the lead played.

F2 Jazz:

Similar to Full, but with a more complex harmonisation, differentiated according to the sound played

on the

Right

part.

F3 Double Up:

Doubles the notes of the lead with those of the superior octave.

F4 Double Down:

Doubles the notes of the lead with those of the lower octave.

F5 5TH:

Adds the fifth superior to the lead.

F6 Blue Gras:

Typical country harmonisation.

F7 Trill:

To obtain this effect, you need to play at least two notes on the

Right

section. The two notes are auto-

matically and alternatively repeated according to the speed set with

F9 Speed

F8 Repeat:

Repeats the single note played with the speed set with

F9 Speed

and synchronised with the Tempo

value in use.

F9 Speed:

Pressing the relevant function button repeatedly sets different speeds for

F7 Trill

and

F8 Repeat

F10: Folk 1

and

Folk 2

: these are other two harmonisation modes suitable for folk music.

F5 Octave:

This makes it possible to define the octave of the timbres to be assigned to the

Right

section.

F6 Pianist:

Generally speaking it is preferable to have one keyboard portion dedicated to chords acknowledgement and the other
one to the solos and the lead. For the true pianist player, however, it may not be sufficient to have a length of just near-
ly four octaves available. The

Pianist

function deletes this division and dedicates the complete keyboard to the sound(s)

assigned to the

Right

section and to the chords acknowledgement. Obviously the best results are obtained with pianist

sounds such as the Grand Piano or the Vintage electric piano.

Pianist

allows you to use the complete extension of the

keyboard for just one timbre, and at the same time it also allows you to control the Arranger. There are two different
operating modes for

Pianist

Auto

and
