Editable Parameters in the SOUND CREATOR [ORGAN FLUTES]
displays
The following covers in detail the editable parameters that are set in the displays
explained in step 3 of the “Basic Procedure.” The Organ Flutes parameters are
organized into three different pages. The parameters in each page are described
separately, below. These are also treated as part of the Voice Set parameters
(page 101), which are automatically called up when the Voice is selected.

FOOTAGE
CAUTION
If you select another Voice
without saving the settings,
the settings will be lost. If you
wish to store the settings
here, make sure to save the
settings as a User Voice before
selecting another Voice or
turning the power off.
ORGAN TYPE
Specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or
Vintage.
ROTARY SP SPEED Alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker
speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes
(see “EFFECT/EQ” DSP TYPE parameter on page 98), and the Voice
Effect DSP (page 98) is turned on (this parameter has the same effect
as the Voice Effect VARIATION ON/OFF parameter).
VIBRATO ON/OFF Alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes Voice ON or
OFF.
VIBRATO DEPTH Sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3
(high).
Footage:
The term “footage” is a reference
to the sound generation of tradi-
tional pipe organs, in which the
sound is produced by pipes of
different lengths (in feet).
16'
← →
5 1/3'
Switches the controllable footage (by using the [D] button), between 16'
and 5 1/3'.
16'–1' Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes. The longer the pipe, the
lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the low-
est pitched component of the Voice, while the 1' setting determines the
highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the
greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various vol-
umes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.
