• The sound components which you can adjust differ depending on the type of organ.
• The settings are common for all the sounds in the same organ group.
• The settings are memorized independently for each organ group, so that whenever the MANUAL sound is selected for the same organ group, the sound you modified is automatically available.
• In the PIPE ORGAN group (Classical, Theatre), the sound settings can be made for each type.

Using the tab buttons to modify the sound

In the UPPER ORGAN or LOWER ORGAN section, use the tab buttons to change the sound for the respective keyboard.

• Press the lower part of a tab button to turn it on, and the upper part to turn it off.
• When an organ type from the DRAWBARS group is selected, the tab buttons work as drawbar-volume-setting buttons. In this case, press and hold the upper part of the button to decrease the volume, and the lower part to increase the volume. While the volume is being adjusted, the status of the drawbars is shown on the display. (Refer to page 38.)

■ Percussives (upper keyboard)

PERC adds a tone with a fast initial attack to the tab sounds. You can get a sharp sound by combining PERC sounds with other tab sounds.

- When an organ type from the PIPE ORGAN group is selected, the PERC buttons work as CHIFF buttons. "Chiff" is the characteristic sound of air being sent to the pipes in a pipe organ. (Refer to page 39.)

About feet marks

The feet indication on each tab button (for example 8') refers to the pitch of a rank of pipes in a pipe organ. If 8' is used as the standard (the pitch as played on the keyboard), a 16' rank pitch will be one octave below the 8' rank pitch, and a 4' rank pitch one octave above.

When the C^1 key is pressed, the sounds of the different pitch ranks are as follows.

Outline of the Sequencer

A sequencer records your performance in a similar way to a tape recorder. This instrument's SEQUENCER allows you to record in a variety of ways. You may want to record your entire performance in one go (especially if you are using AUTO PLAY CHORD to provide the accompaniment), or to build up a complex arrangement with several different parts playing together, like an orchestral score. This SEQUENCER has 16 tracks. This means that you can record 16 different parts. However, you don't have to use all 16 tracks. For some uses you may only need to use one or two tracks. The SEQUENCER enables you to edit your recorded performance. Unlike a tape recorder, you can change the sound or the tempo during playback, or correct wrong notes or timing errors.

SEQUENCER features

☐ You can change the tempo without changing the pitch

When you record your performance at a slow tempo and play it back at a faster tempo, the pitch stays the same.

Consistent sound

Your performance is reproduced by a sound module as it reads digital data. So, unlike a recorded tape, the sound never deteriorates no matter how many times you play back your performance.

■ Edit your recorded performance

Comprehensive editing functions allow you to modify your recorded performance. Data can easily be erased, corrected or copied, providing an especially convenient tool for creating your original tunes.

Instant search

A recorded tape has to be rewound, but digital action means you can return to the beginning of your performance, or find any measure, instantly.

■ Save your performances on disks

All the data of your recorded performances can be stored on disks. The built-in Disk Drive also allows you to play commercially sold disks on your own instrument.

- Features and operation of the built-in Disk Drive are explained in Part V: Disk Drive (page 103).

Memory capacity

Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the tracks is about 28,000. The remaining memory available for recording is shown on the display as a percentage (MEMORY= %).

- When "Memory full!" appears on the display, no more data can be stored in the SEQUENCER.

- It is a good practice to save your recorded performances on disks before clearing any of the SEQUENCER memories. (Refer to page 107.)

SEQUENCER buttons

The buttons related to SEQUENCER recording and editing are briefly explained below.

■ EASY RECORD

Begin recording quickly without complicated set-up procedures.

EASY RECORD (page 69)

This feature allows you to bypass the more complex recording procedures so you can record and play back your performance quickly and easily.

Outline of the Composer

The COMPOSER enables you to create your own accompaniment patterns or to edit preset accompaniment patterns. Your original pattern is then stored in a memory and can be used just like the preset rhythms in the RHYTHM GROUP section.

Example of a rhythm pattern

Components of a rhythm pattern

You can store up to 12 different rhythms (6 each in banks A and B).

• Each pattern is comprised of five parts: DRUMS, BASS, and ACCOMP 1, 2 and 3.
- When you set the COMPOSER mode to the EXPAND MODE, you can also create INTRO, FILL IN and ENDING patterns. (Refer to page 102.)
- The recorded contents can be saved on a disk for recall at a later time. (Refer to page 107.)

Two ways to record in the COMPOSER

There are two ways to create and record a rhythm.

Edit a preset rhythm

Use the COPY function to copy a preset rhythm to a MEMORY, change parts of it, and then store it as a new rhythm.

■ Create a completely new rhythm

Clear the memories and compose a completely new rhythm from scratch.

- You can use either or both of two recording methods. Realtime recording allows you to store your rhythm exactly as play it on the keyboard. But for difficult phrases, you may want to use the STEP RECORD mode to store the notes one by one, just as you might write a music score.

Memory capacity

Expressed in terms of notes, the total number of notes which can be stored in all the COMPOSER memories is about 8600. The remaining memory available for recording is shown on the RECORD display as a percentage (MEMORY=%).

• When "Memory full!" appears on the display, no more data can be stored in the COMPOSER.
• It is a good practice to save your completed rhythm patterns on disks before clearing any of the COMPOSER memories.

COMPOSER menu

When you press the COMPOSER button to turn it on, the display changes to the following.

■ Playback of commercial software

Disks recorded using the Disk Drive of this instrument can, of course, be played back on your organ. But this instrument also reads song data from disks recorded in the Standard MIDI File format, enabling you to play commercial song disks on this instrument. In addition, by saving this instrument's SEQUENCER data in the Standard MIDI File format, you can play it back on an external sequencer.

About Standard MIDI Files

"Standard MIDI File" is a standardized format which makes it possible for music data to be exchanged among different sequencers. Data stored in this format on sequencers of different models can be played back on this instrument, and vice versa.

• Only files with the ".MID" extension can be loaded.
• No more than 128 KB of data can be loaded into this instrument.

Warning: Standard MIDI Files ensure the compatibility of data such as key on, key off, velocity, program number. It does not guarantee 100% faithful reproduction of recorded music which is replete with such data. For exact playback of music, it may be necessary to perform extensive adjustments of all the sound generator settings. As you the listener are the ultimate judge of what sounds best, you should perform such adjustments to your satisfaction.

What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of electronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal—such as electronic musical instruments and personal computers—can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.

About the MIDI terminals

(On the rear panel)

IN: The terminal by which this instrument receives data from other equipment.

OUT: The terminal that transmits data from this instrument to other equipment.

THRU: The terminal that transfers data from this instrument to other equipment.

- For these connections, use a commercially available MIDI cable.

Connection examples

MIDI channels

Many different kinds of performance data are sent using just one MIDI cable. This is possible because MIDI signals are sent and received through 16 different "basic channels" (numbered 1 to 16). In order for the exchange of data to take place, the channels on the transmission side must match the channels on the receiving side. This characteristic also makes it possible to link multiple sound generators and to control each by matching specific channels.

The following kinds of data can be transmitted/received.

Note data

This is the most basic kind of MIDI data which is exchanged, and is used to specify which keys are played and how hard they are played.

Note number: Number specifying which key is played.

Note on: Specifies that a key is played.

Note off: Specifies that a key is released.

Velocity: Specifies how hard a key is struck.

- MIDI notes are assigned numbers from 0 to 127, with middle C (C3) as 60. Note pitches are in semitone increments, with the higher numbers assigned to the higher pitches.

■ Program change

This is sound change data. When a different sound is selected on the transmitting instrument, the sound on the receiving instrument also changes.

■ Control change

These are volume, sustain, effect, etc. data used to enhance performance expression. Each function is distinguished by its control number, and the function which can be changed by the control differs depending on the instrument.

GENERAL MIDI

GENERAL MIDI (GM) is the standard which enables MIDI data exchange between different models or equipment of different manufacture. Program change numbers and their corresponding sounds, percussion instrument sounds, note numbers, etc. are data-compatible between equipment using this standard.

Song data created on the equipment of one manufacturer can be played back on the equipment of a different manufacturer, as long as both conform to the GENERAL MIDI standard.

This instrument conforms to this standard and can be used as a GENERAL MIDI sound generator.

Equipment which conforms to GENERAL MIDI standards is indicated by the following logo.

MIDI Implementation Chart

Although MIDI makes it easy for you to connect various instruments for an enhanced performance, it does not necessarily follow that all MIDI data can be exchanged. For example, if the transmitting instrument handles data that the receiving instrument can not, then such data cannot be successfully sent. For data to be exchanged, both instruments must be able to handle it. You can find out what kind of data can be sent or received by each instrument by referring to the MIDI Implementation Chart for each instrument. The MIDI Implementation Chart for this instrument can be found in the separate "REFERENCE GUIDE" provided.
