3. THE CENTRAL CONTROL UNIT
3.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONTROL UNIT
The Canticus organ central control unit is located above the two manuals. This control unit contains two sections that can be
hidden with two little moving panels.
The right section (with an alphanumeric display of 2 x 40 characters) is dedicated to control of the general functions of the
instrument, while the left section (with 3-digit numerical display) controls the floppy disk drive. This section also contains
the display for the transposer, which is between –6 and +5 semitones. Turn the knob to regulate the transposition value.
When the organ is switched on, the alphanumeric display shows:
and then:
L L
#23. ," *-"',% -0%, 4-'!#1 .0+#2#0
During display of this message, the Canticus carries out self-testing procedures and pre-sets for operation.
If there is no disk in the floppy disk drive, three horizontal dashes appear on the 3 digit display (in the floppy disk drive
control section).
3.2 REGULATING THE VOLUMES
When the self-testing and set-up procedures are complete, the alphanumeric display shows the video page used for
regulating the volume levels. The Canticus allows both general regulation of the instrument volume (MASTER parameter)
and adjustment of the volume of each individual manual.
