Sostenuto

Sostenuto is an Italian word meaning "sustained." Unlike the sustain switch, which sustains
any notes played as long as the sustain switch is held on, the Sostenuto switch sustains only
the notes being held at the very moment it is pressed. Sostenuto is actuated by the organ's
Sustain switch (which is optional on some organs) located to the left of the Great/Pedal
expression shoe. The Sostenuto function must first be enabled before using it.
Advance to the 'SOSTENUTO' window function (see Section A-2).
The LCD will indicate what keyboard Sostenuto is assigned to and show the current on/off
status. The keyboard that Sostenuto is assigned to cannot be changed, but the on/off status
can. To turn the Sostenuto function on or off, press the CURSOR button until the flashing
cursor is positioned on the status value (on/off). Turn the ROTARY DIAL to enable or
disable the Sostenuto feature. Keep in mind that the Sustain function will operate in tandem
with the Sostenuto function.

Global Tuning

Global Tuning allows the organist to adjust the pitch of the entire organ. This tuning
adjustment allows the organ to be tuned to another instrument more easily. Tuning can be
adjusted either ± 100 cents from A-440 pitch. To adjust Global Tuning, advance to the
'GLOBAL TUNING' window function (see Section A-2).
Press the CURSOR button until the flashing cursor is positioned on the current tuning value.
Turn the ROTARY DIAL in either direction to raise or lower the pitch of the organ. The
Global Tuning adjustment will be retained in memory when the organ is powered off.
