OPERATION
1. Selecting an Alternate Tuning
Advance to the ‘ALTERNATE TUNING’ window function
(see section A-2)
.
(The current Alternate Tuning will appear on line 2 of the display)
Allen Organs offer seven
Alternate Tunings,
plus one standard tuning
.
These tunings are
accessible from the Console Controller
. To select an
Alternate Tuning,
press the
CURSOR
button on the Console Controller until the flashing cursor is positioned on the
Alternate Tuning name
(line 2)
. Turn the
ROTARY DIAL
to select one of the seven
available tunings. The organ’s overall tuning will be changed to the selected
Alternate
Tuning
, by actuating the drawknob, or stop tablet engraved ALTERNATE TUNING.
The selected tuning will remain
the
Alternate Tuning
until:
Either another
Alternate Tuning
in the Console Controller is selected,
Or, the stop/drawknob is turned off.
Any time the ALTERNATE TUNING stop is off, the organ is tuned to a standard general
purpose tuning.
Note:
The remaining tunings are of historical interest, but are limited in
application to modern music. When selected, it is normal for some intervals to sound out
of tune.
2. Configuring General Pistons
This procedure enables pistons to control stops that are normally not controlled by those
pistons.
Note:
The Piston Configuration is common to all capture memories.
For example:
(1) General Pistons can be configured to control only certain specific stops.
(2) A General Piston can be configured so that it will only affect the Tremulant stops.
(3) A General Piston can be configured to respond like a Divisional Piston.
Note 1:
Changing the configuration of a piston
will not affect the registrations
previously remembered by that piston prior to its reconfiguration.
Note 2:
Reconfiguring a piston does not change its MIDI channel assignment.
Configuring General Pistons to only affect MIDI stops:
Advance to the ‘CONFIGURE PISTONS’ window function
(see section A-2)
.
