Pitches
The 10th drawbar, on the right, has nothing to do with the V-Combo
organ. It sets the overall level of ensemble sounds. It's there for your
convenience when you play organ and ensemble sounds together.
The HARMONIC BAR Controls
You can use the V-Combo's harmonic bars for a full-keyboard
organ sound, either side of a dual-manual organ split, and
for a pedal keyboard connected to the V-Combo. You set the
behavior of the drawbars using the HARMONIC BAR control
area's buttons. Here's what this area's buttons do.
Press the
•
ORGAN ON button—to turn the V-Combo's organ sound on and off.
•
LOWER button—to set the sound for the lower manual, the left-hand
part of a split, using the drawbars. The LOWER button lights to show you
what the drawbars are currently controlling.
•
UPPER button—to set the sound of the upper manual, the main organ
sound, using the drawbars. This causes the UPPER button to light.
•
LOWER and UPPER simultaneously—to use the drawbars for an optional
connected pedal keyboard. When you do this, both the LOWER and
UPPER buttons light.
2 ' 2' 1 ' 1 ' 1'
2/3 3/5 1/3
•
MANUAL button—to make the sound of the currently selected manual
reflect the current position of the drawbars. This comes in handy when
you're selecting Favorites because they're derived from their saved
values, not the current physical positions of the drawbars. This lets the
drawbars take over control of a sound.
To learn more about the other available organ settings, see Page 53 of
the Owner's Manual.
Exploring the Drawbars
Here are some drawbar settings to try (as always, the V-Combo's other
settings will also affect what you hear). The single-manual Favorite 1-1 is a
good starting point for your experiments. Press the HARMONIC BAR UPPER
to light it before proceeding.
Here's how you might set the drawbars for jazz:
