Owner’s Manual
ACTIVATION OF THE LOCAL OFF FUNCTION
The Local Off function allows to stop the Chorale 1 keyboard from driving the tone generation of any
of the Chorale 1 sections. When the Local Off function is activated, however, the tone generation is
still driven by incoming MIDI messages (sent, e.g. by a MIDI pedalboard) and the
[MIDI OUT]
output of the Chorale 1 still sends MIDI messages coming from its keyboard.
To activate the Local Off function, press the Bass section stop related to the keyboard section you want
to put in Local Off upwards for approx. 2 seconds. The corresponding LED will start flashing.
The MAN.I section will now work as a numeric keypad (with the numbers printed in white below
them), and one of the two LEDs “0” and “1” of this numeric keypad will turn on to indicate the state of
the Local Off for the selected section: “0” if it is disabled, “1” if it is enabled. To modify the status of
that section, press one of the two LEDs “0” or “1”. The “PG” LED will flasg 5 times to indicate that
the new status was set successfully and the LED of the modified section will stop flashing.
To exit the Local Off setup mode, press again the section you previously selected.
TRANSMISSION OF PROGRAM CHANGE
For each of the 12 memories you can associate a Program Change number and enable the transmission
of the relative MIDI message each time you recall a memory.
To transmit and enable the transmission of Program Changes first enter the MIDI mode by pressing for
about two seconds
[TRANSPOSER]
. Then enter the Program Change selection modality turning on
the first stop of Manual I (labelled PG). Then, pressing the memory buttons (if necessary press the
[BANK]
button to switch from memories 1-6 of Bank A to memories 1-6 of Bank B), the stops of
manual I and manual II will blink in sequence to show the actual Program Change number (numbers 0
to 9 are written under the stops of manual I and manual II; for example: if pressing the memory button
[1]
, the stop labelled “0” blinks twice and then the stop with label “1” once, indicating that the
Program Change number associated to the memory button
[1]
is “001”).
Meanwhile the Program Change number will be sent via MIDI.
Now you can enter a new Program Change number for the memory selected: press the stops
corresponding to the number you want to enter.
Every number is made of 3 figures (so, for example to input the Program Change number
nine
you
have to press, in the order: “0”, “0”, “9”).
To exit from the Program Change mode press
[TRANSPOSER]
.
Note: If MIDI messages transmission has been disabled in every section, Program Changes (as other
messages) won't be sent.
4.6 DEMO SONGS
There are six Demo songs to evaluate and appreciate at best the sound of the instrument. To play
Demo songs press for about two seconds the
[BANK]
button, then choose one of the songs by pressing
one of the memory buttons (buttons
[1]
to
[6]
).
Press again
[BANK]
to exit from Demo mode.
