MULTIPLE VOICE SETS

The LD-34 provides the versatility of two separate and distinct organs in one console. Choose from
American Classic or French Romantic for the stop list that perfectly complements your music. The
specifications are comprised of unique pipe samples from the world's finest examples of each major
organ-building style. The touch of a button changes the entire organ to the stop list of your choice!
The active voice specification can be viewed in the Console Controller window. See the Console
Controller™ guide later in this manual for more information about this feature.

REAL XPRESSION™

The LD-34 is equipped with Real Xpression™. Real Xpression™ not only changes the organ's
volume, but also its response. This is the same thrilling feeling you get when you hear a pipe organ
really open up. Real Xpression™ faithfully recreates how expression shutters affect a pipe organ's
sound. Real Expression is always active and may be adjusted to suit the room's acoustics the organ
is installed in. Please contact your Allen Organ representative to complete adjustments.

INSTALLATION, VOICING, AND CARE OF THE ORGAN

Wherever your organ may be situated, careful installation is a prerequisite to successful results.
Your Allen representative is well qualified to guide you in planning the finest possible installation.
Factory assistance in planning the installation is also available and may, in fact, be sought by your
Allen Organ representative.
Your organ presents unprecedented accuracy in the scaling and voicing of each note of every stop.
Should you require that these parameters be changed, your Allen Organ representative is able to help
make such changes. Final adjustments in scaling and voicing involve procedures that are best left to
an expert. These adjustments normally are a part of installation, and once done, should not require
changes. If the organ is moved to a new location or major changes are made to the acoustical
properties of the room the organ resides in, the instrument may need to be tonally finished again.
The memory for the capture system and other miscellaneous settings on your Allen Organ utilizes
revolutionary "flash" technology for storage. This allows capture settings and related items to be
retained in memory when the organ is switched off or unplugged. No batteries are ever required
which means that regular battery maintenance, normally required every few years, has been
eliminated.
Your Allen Organ constitutes a major advance in long-term maintenance-free operation. There are
no regular maintenance procedures required and, therefore, no periodic maintenance schedules to be
observed.
Reasonable care will keep the instrument looking beautiful for years to come. The wood surfaces
may be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water. A mild solution of lukewarm
water and dish detergent may be used to remove fingerprints, etc. Polish dry with a soft cloth. Do
not use wax, sprays or oils on the finish. Satin finished surfaces will take on a semi-gloss appearance
when waxed and will eventually become yellowed.
