[SUSTAIN] BUTTON
When on (the button LED is lit), this function adds a release time to the Drawbar and Synth Bass notes
played. This function affects both the Keybass section and Pedalboard Tones.
Ê
Press the [SUSTAIN] button (in the BASS section).
Ë
Set the release time (0-10) with the [++]/[--] or [+]/[-] buttons. (Higher numbers produce a longer
sustain time.)
Note: If the Solo Mode (under the [SUSTAIN] button) is set to something other than 'Poly', new notes played
will 'squelch' (i.e. cut off or clip) the previous notes. So the combination of a non-zero Sustain value and a
monophonic Solo mode setting allow you to mimic the old style 'walking' organ bass sounds.
[MIDI] BUTTONS
Each section contains a [MIDI] button which allows you to access the MIDI parameters for the
corresponding section. Refer to 'Using MIDI' (page 96) for further information. (This button is somewhat
like the 'MIDI Coupler' in other Rodgers Organs, but is much more flexible.)
All MIDI parameters are listed under '[MIDI] Parameters' starting on page 115.
Note: The three MIDI 'layers' are selectable under the [VOICING] and [CONTROLS] buttons, so the MIDI
outputs can act like any other layer. This provides extreme flexibility in controlling external sound modules.
