Footage:
The term "footage" is a reference
to the sound generation of tradi-
tional pipe organs, in which the
sound is produced by pipes of
different lengths (in feet).

FOOTAGE
16' ← ← ← ← → → → → 5 1/3'
Which footage (16' or 5 1/3') is operated with the [1 π† ] button can
be switched by pressing the [D] button.
16'–1' Determines the basic sound of the organ flutes. The longer the pipe, the
lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the low-
est pitched component of the Voice, while the 1' setting determines the
highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the
greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various vol-
umes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds.
VOLUME/ATTACK
VOL Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the
graphic bar, the greater the volume.
Affects both the attack and release (page 99) portion of the sound,
RESP
increasing or decreasing the response time of the initial swell and
release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The higher the value, the
slower the swell and release.
VIBRATO SPEED Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato
On/Off and Vibrato Depth above.
MODE The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH.
In the FIRST mode, attack is applied only to the first notes played
and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any subse-
quently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode,
attack is applied equally to all notes.
4', 2 2/3', 2' These determine the attack sound volume of the ORGAN FLUTE
Voice. The 4', 2-2/3' and 2' controls increase or reduce the volume
of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the
graphic bar, the greater the attack sound volume.
Affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter
LENG
decay immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic
bar, the longer the decay.
EFFECT/EQ
Same parameters as in the SOUND CREATOR "EFFECT/EQ" tab display explained
on page 99.
Disabling automatic selection of Voice Sets (effects, etc.)
Each Voice is linked to its related parameter settings that are indicated in the
SOUND CREATOR displays, including effects and EQ. Usually these settings
are automatically called up when a Voice is selected. However, you can also
disable this feature by the operation in the relevant display as explained
below.
For example, if you want to change the Voice yet keep the same Harmony
effect, set the HARMONY/ECHO parameter to OFF (in the display explained
below).
You can set these independently by keyboard part and parameter group.
