vibrato and choruses available for the FARF model in the C2, which are
activated using the ON button in the Vibrato section .
M The V1, V2 and the V3 settings are the ones that are modeled
after the original instrument's.
M The FARF models vibrato setting is common for both the swell
and great manuals.

The Pipe Organ

The pipe organ model is a sampled classic organ with a set of pipes
that is of the baroque variety . The drawbars on the C2 acts as "stops"
and the different stops are labeled below the lower drawbar buttons . A
stop can be on or off, similar to the register selectors in the FARF
model .
The two manuals have 9 different stops each . Their names are printed
on the panel below the drawbar buttons . The pedals have 3 stops, the
Fagot 16 can be added to the Sub stop by pressing the drawbar-down
button a second time .
M When the pipe organ is selected, the speaker models, the sustain
pedal and the drive function will be inactive.
Tremulant
When the pipe organ is selected, the vibrato/chorus function acts like
the tremulant of the original instrument . This functionality is achieved
by varying the actual wind supply to the pipes on a pipe organ . The
tremulants in the C2 can be activated individually for the swell and the
great manuals and you select which one to use by pressing the Vibrato
Mode button . The tremulant has two rates (V and C) with three depths
each (1, 2 & 3) .
Press and hold Shift to cycle through the tremulant settings in a
counter-clockwise fashion.
M The bass stops are not affected by the tremulant.
The Couplers
When the pipe organ is used, the controls on the panel for the Rotary
simulation and the Percussion controls are used to activate the pipe
organs couplers instead . A coupler allows the stops of one division or
manual to be played from another manual . This can be used to create
huge sounds, combinations of stops across the manuals and also to
use the pedal stops in combination with the two manual's stops .

manual to the bass stop . The affected range ends
