8.3 SELECTING THE ALTERNATIVE VOICES (ALTERNATIVE VOICE
function)
Each stop on the panel has a set of voices, the default voice set by the current Style and the alternative voices,
which are variants on the original. To select an alternative voice, the ALTERNATIVE VOICES function has
to be recalled:
3 manuals models 2 manuals models
As for the other VOICES menu functions, the next step is to select the section of the organ containing the
voice to be modified: this displays the list of the voices present in the chosen section.
Here again, there is the option of displaying the alternative voices screen directly by holding out the draw-
stop (except in the models with electromechanical draw-stops) or holding down the rocker tab for a few
moments in the voice on position, while the cursor is on the ALTERNATIVE VOICES field in the VOICES
menu, or in the function itself.
The LED of the stop being replaced will flash to prevent modification errors; the stop will be on and can be
played for better, quicker adjustment. The display now shows the list of the alternative voices:
identified as “CURRENT VOICE” in the bottom of the screen.
It should also be remembered that the top of the screen always contains the name screen-printed on the
draw-stop or tab, so that the stop the voice of which is being changed can be identified at all times.
When the [FIELD
S
] and [FIELD
T
] buttons are used to move the cursor to other voices, the prompt
changes to “ENTER TO REPLACE”.
