4. ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

4.1 SPLIT AND MANUALS

The Split point between Manual I and Manual II is E4 (left included) for default.
When Split is Off Manual II voices play on all the keyboard range.
When Split is On Manual I and Bass voices play on the left part of the keyboard (Split key included)
and Manual II play on the right part of the keyboard.
Bass section is monophonic, with left-priority.
If Split Point is set over 32nd key (G4), Bass section won't play above this key.
To CHANGE THE SPLIT POINT press and hold down the [SPLIT] button; when the LED starts
blinking, press the key on the keyboard that you want as the new Split Point.
It is not possible to set a Split point higher than C7 or lower than C3. If the chosen Split Point exceeds
the upper or lower limit it will move to C7 or C3 (depending on whether it has exceeded right or left).
Note: the Split point position isn't modified if Transposer is set to a value different from 0.

4.2 VOICES

There are nine orchestral voices, that can be associated to the five orchestra buttons (two for manual I,
three for manual II). The orchestral voices are: Grand Piano, Strings1, Strings2, Choir1, Choir2,
Harpsichord, Harp, Celesta, Chimes.
To SELECT ANOTHER ORCHESTRAL VOICE to be loaded on an orchestra button, activate the
desired orchestra button, press [SET] together with the orchestra button. Repeat the procedure to
move between the eight voices.
It's possible to REGULATE VOICES VOLUME.
To adjust every single voice volume, follow this procedure:
Turn on the instrument while pressing [MEM1] + [MEM2] + [MEM3]. On startup every voice's
LED will turn on for a while and the Transposer LEDs will show the voice level.
The seven Transposer LEDs indicate seven possible volume levels in dB (from left to right): -6, -4,
-2, 0dB, +2, +4, +6. When a voice is chosen, the stop LED will start blinking.
To modify the volume, press [TRANSPOSER] button, moving between the seven levels. It's also
possible to hear the voice playing on the keyboard (turn On Split if you want to hear Manual I voices).
Turn on more than one voice to hear the global effect.
To REGULATE TREMOLO SPEED AND DEPTH, follow the procedure indicated in previous
paragraph for the regulation of voices volume, but instead of pressing a voice stop, press the Tremolo
stop. Then pressing repeatedly the [TEMPERAMENT] button it's possible to choose between seven
possible speed levels (indicated by Temperament LEDs) and pressing repeatedly [TRANSPOSER]
between seven possible modulation depths (indicated by Transposer LEDs).
It's possible to evaluate the tremolo intensity by turning on a voice on Manual II and then by pressing
the Tremolo stop again. The keyboard will play the voice with the Tremolo effect.
Note: Tremolo modulates only Manual II voices.
