select one of the seven tuning temperaments. The organ's overall tuning will be changed
to the selected Alternate Tuning, once you turn on the stop labeled ALTERNATE
TUNING.
The selected tuning will remain the Alternate Tuning until either another Alternate
Tuning shown in the Console Controller™ window is selected, or the ALTERNATE
TUNING stop is turned OFF. Any time the ALTERNATE TUNING stop is OFF, the
organ is tuned to the standard general purpose Romantic tuning. The standard Romantic
tuning is "warmer" than the CLASSIC and BAROQUE Alternate Tuning Temperaments.
These two alternate tunings are "tighter" than the Romantic tuning. In other words, most
intervals are tuned slightly narrower than the intervals in the standard Romantic tuning.
NOTE: The remaining tunings are primarily of historical interest; however, these
tunings may be limited in their application to modern music. When one of these tunings
has been selected, it is normal for some intervals to sound out of tune; music may sound
strange when played in certain keys.
2. CONFIGURING PISTONS
This procedure enables pistons to control stops that are normally not controlled by those
pistons. Separate piston configuration changes can be made on each capture memory.
E.g., A General Piston can be configured to respond like a Divisional Piston.
NOTE I:
Changing the configuration of a piston will not affect the registrations
previously remembered by that piston, prior to its reconfiguration. Piston configurations
apply to all memories.
NOTE II:
Reconfiguring a piston does not change its MIDI channel assignment.
Divisional Pistons cannot make Expander II™ preset group selections.
TO RECONFIGURE PISTONS:
Advance to the Configure Pistons window function (See Section A-2). It will display:
"CONFIGURE PISTONS". Press the CURSOR button until the cursor is on the "D"
of disabled. Turn the ROTARY DIAL to change the display to ENABLED instead of
DISABLED.
Once ENABLED is displayed, select all of the stops you want the General Pistons to be
able to remember. Any stops not illuminated, will not be able to be registered later.
Once the stops you want are selected press and hold the "SET" piston, then press the
General Piston that you want to reconfigure. You must return to the Main window
function to store registrations to this General piston. (See Section A-4)
EXAMPLES
CONFIGURING A GENERAL PISTON TO BECOME A DIVISIONAL PISTON:
Advance to the Configure Pistons window function (See Section A-2). It will display:
"CONFIGURE PISTONS". Press the CURSOR button until the cursor is on the "D"
of disabled. Turn the ROTARY DIAL to change the display to ENABLED instead of
DISABLED.
Select all of the stops from only one division. Any stops not illuminated, will not be able
to be registered later. Press and hold the "SET" piston, press the General Piston you
want to respond like a Divisional piston. This piston will only register stops from the
