User Manual
The Style indentifies the sound configuration of the organ, i.e. the actual voice activated by each stop. The many
organ styles allow the musician to use several sound configurations, as if several different instruments were
present at the same time in the same place.
Chorum
organs have four different organ Styles, each one designed after a different musical period: Baroque,
Barock, Romantic and Symphonic. As already described at point 14 of chap. 2, Styles can be selected through the
dedicated pistons: [BAR], [BRK], [ROM] and [SYM]. On the main video page, each time a Style is selected its
name appears on the display. All four styles can be customized: the user can adjust the tuning difference among
pipes, tremulant Speed and Depth for each section, stops volume and orchestra voices.
To modify a Style, recall the desired Style, then select the
STYLES
field in the MAIN MENU. The following
page will appear:
The fields on this menu perform the following functions:
o
ENSEMBLE:
level of tiny natural differences in pitch between one organ pipe and another,
simulating the tuning error that occurs in the organ’s pipes due to wear over time and variations in
temperature.
The values range from 0 (pipes perfectly tuned) to 8 (maximum pitch instability).
o
TREMULANTS:
adjust the speed and depth of the tremulant for each manual
(par. 6.1).
o
VOICES VOLUMES:
set the volume for each stop (par. 6.2).
o
ORCHESTRA:
select orchestra voices (par 6.3).
To access a function, use the buttons [FIELD
S
] and [FIELD
T
] to place the cursor on the corresponding
field, then press [ENTER].
To quit the STYLE menu, press [EXIT].
NB
Any divisional or general combination and Tutti can recall the organ Style that was in use when
the combination was saved. However in order to save Styles to combinations, the corresponding
option of the COMBINATIONS function must be activated. For further information see par. 5.6.
