About the Organ Voice

The organ voice has three parts: "upper," "lower," and "pedal."
When you play the upper manual on the VK-88, the Upper Part is played; the Lower
Part is played when you play the lower manual.
You can also play the VK-88 in the following ways.
• Divide the lower keyboard of the VK-88 into two zones, and play the sound of
the Lower organ part in the right-hand zone, and the sound of the Pedal organ
part in the left-hand zone (p. 46).
• Connect an external pedal keyboard, and play the sound of the Upper and
Lower organ part on the VK-88, and the sound of the Pedal organ part on the
pedal keyboard(p. 85).
The sounds of the Upper, Lower, and Pedal parts of an organ voice can be edited
using the harmonic bars.
