MEMO
Use the CURSOR [ ] [ ] buttons to move the cursor to an item,
and turn the [VALUE] dial to change the sound variation/multi-
effect type.
Selecting the organ sound variation
1.
In the organ section, press the [TYPE] button.
The ORGAN TYPE screen is shown in the display.
2.
Turn the [VALUE] dial to select the desired type of sound.
MEMO
• You can play the keyboard to audition the sound at which the
cursor is located.
• While the ORGAN TYPE screen is displayed, you can press the
[TRANSPOSE] button to retain the ORGAN TYPE screen. Press the
[EXIT] button to return to the previous screen.
• This unit’s organ sounds reproduce the distinctive way in which
a vintage organ triggers the sound at a shallow key depth. This
is called the “quick firing function.”
• The organ sounds of this unit are produced by a “virtual
tonewheel sound engine” that uses digital technology to
faithfully simulate the way in which a tonewheel organ
generates sound.
What’s the quick-firing keyboard?
Contacts for traditional organ keys are extremely shallow,
meaning that sounds are produced with the slightest touch
of the keys. This gives it special qualities that allow glissando
and similar performance techniques to be used very
effectively.
However, a well-known side effect of this behavior is that
when a key is released suddenly, it can rebound, causing
that note to be unintentionally triggered a second time.
On the other hand, some performers actively make use of
these characteristics to realize a surprising, rapid-fire playing
technique.
This unit’s quick-firing function faithfully simulates these
characteristics. Because the sounds of the organ section are
triggered at high speed, rebounding may occur if you release
a key suddenly; this is not a malfunction.
* Quick-firing keyboard will not be used when you’re
playing non-organ sounds, or when you’re playing a non-
organ sound together with an organ sound.
What’s the virtual tonewheel sound generator?
Traditional tonewheel organs generate sound using 91
toothed wheels called “tonewheels.” Each tonewheel is a
toothed, gear-like wheel with a different number of teeth
that make it produce a specific pitch. A motor spins these
wheels past magnetic coils which generate audio signals
at the corresponding pitches. The settings of the harmonic
bars in conjunction with the keys played on the keyboard
determine which of these pitches are combined to produce
the sound of the organ.
This unit’s virtual tonewheel sound engine uses digital
technology to faithfully recreate the principles by which a
tonewheel organ produces its sound.
