2.1 Main Page
After making all the necessary connections, switch on the instrument by pressing the POWER ON but-
ton on the rear panel.
The instrument will display the initial page, which carries the name of the instrument and the release of
the operating system (
Op.System
) currently installed in the form of two numbers separated by a dot.
After a few moments, the display will automatically switch to the
main page.
Containing the following parameters:
-
M. BANK
(Memory Bank) : this parameter can be used to select one of the eight memory banks, each
of which contains 8 different voice memories (buttons underneath the stops).
As well as providing a total of 64 memories, this function is especially important if the instrument is used
by more than one organist, since each of them will be able to save his or her own settings in a different
Memory Bank.
-
ENSEMBLE
: this parameter can be used to set eight levels of natural differences in pitch which occur
in reality between one organ pipe and another: in other words, it is possible to accentuate the "tuning
error" that occurs in the organ's pipes due to wear over time and variations in temperature. The values
range from - (pipes perfectly tuned) to 8 (maximum pitch instability).
-
TRANSP
. (Transposer): sets the transposition of the instrument's key within a range of +5 / -6 semi-
tones. Set on 0 for no transposition.
-
TUNE:
allows adjustment of the fine tuning of the instrument within a range of +/- 50 cents (hundredths
of a semitone).
- TEMPERAMENT
: this parameter allows the selection of a series of historic temperaments of different
eras and national origins. You can choose from EQUAL, a temperament with perfect tuning, and
WERCKMEISTER, KIRNBERGER KELLNER, VALLOTTI, CHAUMONT, MEANTONE and
PYTHAGOREAN
- STATUS:
the status parameter allows you to select 4 memories containing all the instrument's settings,
known as "Finishes". These 4 finishes, known as "Finish1", "Finish2", "Finish3" and “Finish4” allow you
to save all the instrument's main performance and timbre parameters, such as the pitch, temperament,
voice parameters, and so on. When a parameter is modified, it will automatically be saved in the current
finish: to confirm that it has been saved, two asterisks (*) will appear on either side of the name of the
finish. For more information about the use and saving of the finishes and restoration of the original fini-
shes, refer to the advanced manual.
