Viscount Chorale 3
Remember that an HR setup is not modified if the stops are switched on and off by hand when a
combination on the same section is selected (i.e. with the HR off).
N.B.
The contents of the HR are not retained when the organ is switched off.
Each combination (including HR and Tutti) is able to store:
- the status (on/off) of the stops
- the status of the couplers (enabling saving, see point 6.8)
- the status of the tremulants (even with different modulation depths and speeds, if the specific
SET-UP menu function described in par. 6.8 is activated)
- the style (Organ Style)
- the MIDI controls (point 3) and the Program Changes set using the SEND PROGRAM
CHANGE function (par. 7.2)
- the All Swells on Swell and Automatic Pedal, by activating the specific function, see par. 6.8.
For the fixing combinations procedure, see point 2.
2. [S] piston: "Set" (or fix) function used for fixing combinations. To fix a combination, simply press
the [S] piston, keep it pressed and then press the combination or Tutti you wish to fix.
3. [MIDI G], [MIDI SW] and [MIDI P] buttons: this section contains the pistons used to activate the
transmission of MIDI note codes on the [MIDI OUT] port (in the recess underneath the Great) in
response to the notes played on the manuals. The LED of each piston displays the status of transmission
on the relative MIDI channel as follows:
o Piston illuminated: note code transmission enabled
o Piston off: note code transmission disabled
[MIDI G] controls transmission of the notes played on the Great, [MIDI SW] controls the notes
played on the Swell, and [MIDI P] the notes played on the pedal board.
N.B.
- These pistons activate or deactivate the transmission of MIDI note codes (Note On and Note
Off) only, unlike all the other MIDI messages the organ is able to process, which are always
transmitted regardless of the status of this function.
- These pistons control transmission of MIDI notes only. Reception is always enabled.
4. [NEXT] and [PREV.] stops: general combination sequencers. [NEXT] selects combinations in
ascending order, [PREV.] in descending order.
5. [A.P.] piston: this piston controls the status of the Automatic Pedal function used to play the stops of
the pedal board using the first 32 notes of Great. In this case, the organ's pedal board is deactivated
and the stops become monophonic, with priority to the lowest note.
