PRESETS

Ë The Preset Keys
To the left of each manual are the
twelve Preset Keys. The first key on
each manual is a Cancel key. The next
nine keys, "C<" through "A", are preset
to the tones most often used by
organists. These tones can be changed
if you wish, to suit the acoustics of the
room or to incorporate tone colors that
you particularly like. The last two keys
on each manual, "A<" and "B",
(sometimes called "Adjust" Keys) are
actually "on-off" switches to control the
tones created and set up on the four
groups of Drawbars.
The organ has three built-in Preset
Banks - Liturgical, Jazz and Theatre.
For the Liturgical and Theatre Preset
Banks, the white keys are the solo and
single-tone qualities, while the black
ones are the ensemble qualities. The
softer tones are to the left, gradually
growing louder to the right. In all
Preset Banks, the Presets are used one
at a time, and cannot be used in
combination. Pressing one key cancels
any other key.
NOTE: You can access the three Preset
Banks using the Information Center. Please
see page 47 for information on how to do
this.
