2. Advancing Through the Windows
The Allen Organ operating software contains many settings that are user-programmable.
Each programmable setting can be adjusted via the Console Controller
. These
programmable settings are divided up into many window functions. To advance the
Console Controller's
display to the next window function, locate and press the
CURSOR
button until the blinking
CURSOR
is positioned over the abbreviation
“MEM”
in the display. Once the cursor is positioned, slowly turn the
ROTARY DIAL
clockwise, the display will advance to the next window function. When the second
window function is displayed, rotate the
ROTARY DIAL
counter-clockwise, the
window will return to the Main window display function. Turn the
ROTARY DIAL
counter-clockwise again and the last window function will display. The window
functions “wrap around” for ease of accessing functions quickly.
Remember:
You may return to the
Main Window
function at any time by pressing and holding the
SET
piston. Then, while holding
SET
, press the
CANCEL
piston, release both pistons. This procedure will always
return the Console Controller’s display to the Main
Window function.
For reference, the last window function is:
3. Selecting the Capture Memories
Locate the
CURSOR
button on the Console Controller™. Press this button to move the
cursor to the first number to the right of the abbreviation
“MEM”
on the display. Once
the cursor is positioned on the memory number, turn the
ROTARY DIAL
clockwise
to
select the memories sequentially from
MEM 1, to MEM 2, to MEM 3.
Or, turn the
ROTARY DIAL
counter-clockwise to select the memories sequentially from
MEM 1,
to MEM 8, to MEM 7.
The capture memories allow you to save different registrations on each piston/toe piston.
This means
General Piston 1
on
MEM-1
may be totally different from
General Piston
1
on
MEM-2, MEM-3, etc.
4. Saving Registrations Using The Pistons
A
registration
is any combination of stops. These registrations can be stored
(remembered) by the organ’s capture memory system. The pistons provide a way to
make changes quickly from one registration to another.
Historique III™ is equipped with twelve (12) General pistons. General pistons are those
that affect all stops on the organ. They are centrally located under the front of the Swell
and Great keyboard on the piston rails.
