The Organ Flutes Voices can be edited by adjusting the footage levers, adding the attack sound, applying effect and 
equalizer, etc.
There are three organ types, and each organ type has its own display, which beautifully recreates the actual appearance 
of an actual instrument. Each type provides realistic, intuitive control over the sound with special footage levers, tabs 
and switches—letting you adjust the sound with much the same feel as on an actual instrument.

1

Select the desired Organ Flutes Voice.

Touch [Organ&Accordion] in the main categories, then select the desired Organ Flutes Voice.

2

On the Voice Selection display, touch 

 (Menu) then [Voice 

Edit] to call up the Voice Edit display.

3

Select the desired parameter, and edit the value.

The parameters indicated by “*” are available only for the Vintage and Home type. The type of the selected Organ 
Flutes Voice can be distinguished by the Voice Edit display design as described above.
