MIDI Expression Modes:
POLY-VOLUME — this is the normal expression mode setting where the expression data is
distributed among the appropriate MIDI channels.
POLY-VELOCITY — this setting should be selected if you are using a percussion-type
voice from a sound module or an external MIDI keyboard. For example, if a digital piano
sound were played from the organ keyboard through MIDI Channel 1, the piano could be
made to sound more realistic. By opening the Swell expression shoe, the piano strings would
appear to be struck harder than when the Swell pedal was in the closed position.
Important! This mode setting should only be used if the organ does not contain velocity
sensitive keying.
Note: In POLY-VELOCITY mode, all expression information is sent in key velocity form.
Changes in velocity will occur only when a new key is struck. Consequently, if you change
the position of the expression pedal after a key is struck there will be no change in velocity
until a new key is struck. Use this mode only when a velocity-sensitive external MIDI device
is connected. If this mode is selected when recording to a sequencer, the expression on the
organ will not function when playing back from the sequencer.
SWELL-VOLUME — this mode setting causes MIDI expression data to be sent only on the
Swell MIDI channel. Some early sequencers can only interpret one volume message.
NO EXPRESSION — No MIDI expression (volume) data sent.

7. MIDI Sustain Kick Switch (optional)
A lever located to the left of the expression shoe and controlled by the organist’s foot,
operates MIDI sustain. This function can be assigned to any one of or all of the instrument’s
manuals.
To access the MIDI Sustain selection display, touch:
OPTIONS >> MIDI >> SUSTAIN
Touch the associated manual’s button to change the on
or off status. The function will “toggle” each time the
button is touched. If a manual button is highlighted,
the Sustain function is “on”. If a manual button is not
highlighted, the Sustain function is “off”.
OFF will not allow MIDI Sustain messages to be
transmitted, ON will allow MIDI sustain messages to
be transmitted on a given keyboard (manual) or MIDI
channel. For example, when a
PIANO voice in an
external MIDI device (voice module) is selected and the MIDI sustain for that given MIDI
channel (division) is turned
ON , and the foot controlled sustain lever is actuated, the piano
sound will slowly decay.
