3. MAIN CONTROL UNIT
As described in the previous section, the left-hand panel contains the main control unit for all the Vivace ’s
internal functions. The organ features a large set of control functions allowing the user to customise the
instrument in the most suitable way, adapting it to his or her own requirements. These are not mere
general settings, but setup functions that configure every part of the organ: for the sound setup, for
example, the user can select the instrument’s musical style, or change the registers assigned to the stops
and then regulate their individual volumes. The levels, equalisation and channel routing of the remote
outputs can also be adjusted. The organ also allows complete, unrestricted configuration of the MIDI
interface, as well as the familiar settings of the tremulant and reverb effects, the manuals and the pedal
board, the internal graphic equalizer and the piston functions.
3.1 SWITCHING ON AND MAIN VIDEO PAGE
When the organ is switched on using the [POWER] switch on the left-hand panel, the instrument becomes
operational after a few seconds, during which time all the amplification circuits are activated and the
internal systems are configured. While this is taking place, the display shows the introductory screen:
on which the release of the firmware installed on the instrument (O.S. VERSION) can always be checked.
After the switch-on procedure is complete, the main video page will be displayed:
containing the following display fields:
o
MEMORY BANK:
this parameter can be used to select one of the eight memory banks for saving
the general and/or specific combinations.
Therefore, as well as providing a total of 48 general, this function is especially useful if the instrument
is used by more than one organist, since each of them will be able to save his or her own programming
settings in a different Memory Bank.
o TRANSPOSER:
key transposer with a range of +5 / -6 semitones (adjustments in steps of one
semitone).
o ENSEMBLE:
this parameter can be used to set six levels of natural tiny differences in pitch between
one organ pipe and another, in order to simulate the tuning errors that occur in the organ’s pipes due
to wear over time and variations in temperature. If you wish to use the registers perfectly tuned, select
the – value.
