1. IMPORTANT NOTES

1.1 LOOKING AFTER THE PRODUCT

• Do not apply excessive force to the organ's structures or the controls (knobs, stops, push-buttons, etc.).
• When possible, do not place the instrument close to units which generate strong interference, such as radios, TVs, computer videos, etc.
• Do not place the organ close to heat sources, in damp or dusty places or in the vicinity of strong magnetic fields.

- Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight.

- Never insert foreign bodies inside the instrument or pour liquids of any kind into it.

- For cleaning, use only a soft brush or compressed air; never use detergents, solvents or alcohol.

- Always use good quality screened cables for connection to amplification or diffusion systems. When disconnecting cables from sockets, always take hold of the connector and not the cable itself; when winding cables, do not knot or twist them.

- Before making the connections ensure that the other units (especially amplification and diffusion systems) you are about to connect are switched off. This will prevent noisy or even dangerous signal peaks.

- Connect the net cable to an earthed socket.

- Check that the voltage corresponds to the voltage shown on the serial number plate of the organ.

- If the organ is to be out of use for lengthy periods, disconnect the plug from the power socket.

1. ORCHESTRA pistons: pistons for activation and deactivation of orchestral voices.

2. [ORCH P]: orchestral voice of Pedal.

3. [ORCH I]: orchestral voice of Manual I.
4. [ORCH II]: orchestral voice of Manual II.

It is possible to select the voice activated by each piston. For further information read par. 6.3.

1. [S] piston: to save a general combination or the Tutti, after setting up the voices, press and hold the [S] piston; then press the piston corresponding to the combination you wish to save.

To save a Crescendo step, select it through the Crescendo pedal, press and hold [S], and then press the general memories [HR] piston. To copy the content of one step to another, first select the step you wish to copy, then press and hold the [S] piston, select the step in which you wish to paste the content, and finally press the general memories [HR].

Organ Styles, tremulant Speed and Depth and orchestra voices can be saved to any combination or Tutti. This allows a wider range of different combinations, adjusting the sound to play different songs. To use these functions, first you have to set the saving options through the COMBINATIONS function, described in par. 5.6.

N.B.

If the [S] piston LED light is off, this means that the SECURITY function for the combinations (see par. 5.9) is active. In this case it is not possible to modify combinations, Tutti and the Crescendo.

1. Style pistons: here are the style pistons for the selection of the organ style (see also chapt. 6).

After the selection, if the display shows the main video page (see chap. 3), a pop-up message appears for a few seconds, showing the Style name.

1. Tremulant thumb pistons: here are the thumb pistons for the activation / deactivation of the Tremulant for each section.

2. [TREM I]: [TREM I]: Manual I Tremulant.

3. [TREM II]: [TREM I]: Manual II Tremulant.

11. General combinations.

• [1] / [6]: pistons to recall the combinations saved in the selected memory bank (see [PREV] / [NEXT] point). These combinations can be modified. To do so, follow the procedure described at point 9.
• [HR]: restores the voice setup prepared in manual mode before a memory was recalled.

• [PREV.] / [NEXT]: general combinations sequencers. [PREV.] displays them in descending order, [NEXT] in ascending order. Keeping pressed the [S] thumb piston and acting these commands it is also possible to select the memory bank.

• General organ controls: these are the controls that are not dedicated to a single section, but affect the whole instrument.

• [A.P]: enables the Automatic Pedal which allows the pedal voices to be played on the first manual. In this case, the organ's pedal board is deactivated and the voices become monophonic, with priority to the lowest note.

• [ENC]: when the Enclosed function is active, the main volume can be controlled through the expression pedal connected to the [EXPR.] connector of the rear panel.

• [C]: Cancel piston. Turns off all stops, tremulants, couplers and all other pistons on the manuals, then deletes and turns on the HR. In case you have chosen to save into combinations the status of [ENC] nad [A.P] pistons (see COMBINATIONS function in the par. 5.6), these are not turned off by Cancel.

5.1 SELECTING REVERB TYPE (REVERB parameter)

Reverberation is the result of a series of sound reflections in a closed environment. Order and value of each reflection depend on many factors of the environment, such as the size of the room, the number and material of the objects inside the room, the listener's position and so on. The digital processors of the Cantorum Duo organs can recreate artificially the complex factors affecting the reverberation of a real pipe organ, generating the right reverberation to complete an already excellent sound quality.

The REVERBER parameter in the SETTINGS menu allows to select the kind of reverberation, ranging from great cathedral – with wide reflections - to small churches with short and soft reverberation. There is a total of eight styles.

Please note that the [REVERB] slider is placed on the upper panel. Use the potentiometer to adjust the reverb effect level.

The reverb styles are typical reverberation of a:

o CATHEDRAL: typical reverberation of a cathedral
o BASILICA: typical reverberation of a Basilica
o GOTHIC CHURCH: typical reverberation of a gothic church
o BAROQUE CHURCH: typical reverberation of a baroque church
- ROMANIC CHURCH: typical reverberation of a romanic church
o MODERN CHURCH: typical reverberation of a modern church
o PARISH: typical reverberation of a parish
o CAPPELLA: typical reverberation of a chapel

Press [EXIT] to exit the video page and save the new settings.

N.B.

The internal reverberation also affects the signal from the [INPUT] port located on the rear panel.

5.2 ADJUST EQUALIZERS (EQUALIZERS functions)

The Cantorum Duo is equipped with three graphic equalizers, one for the sound reproduced by the internal speakers and the other two for the signal present on the two pairs of audio outputs [OUT 1] and [OUT 2] on the rear panel. The sound generated by the instrument can be calibrated through the equalizers, in order to adapt to the environment and to the player's needs and personal taste.

To access the calibration page, select the EQUALIZERS field under the SETTINGS menu. The following video page will appear:

EQUALIZERS INTERNAL ▶ [ENTER] OUT 1 ▶ OUT 2 ▶

the page contains the following fields:

o INTERNAL: graphic equalizer for the internal amplifier (and therefore for the internal speakers).
o OUT 1: graphic equalizer for the [OUT 1] output pair, on the rear panel.
o OUT 2: graphic equalizer for the [OUT 2] output pair, on the rear panel.

This is the graphic equalizers calibration page:

In the lower part of the screen there are the seven central band frequencies. To move the cursor from one band to the other, use the buttons [FIELD ▲] e FIELD ▼.

Each band can be modified, using the buttons [VALUE +] and [VALUE -] from +9 dB (maximum signal gain) to -9 dB (maximum signal dampening). The level of gain or attenuation is graphically represented and can be compared to the grading scale on the left side of the screen.

The following graph shows how the graphic equalizers works.

In all the equalizers, press [EXIT] to exit the video page and save the new settings.

N.B.

The equalizers also affect the signal from the [INPUT] port located on the rear panel.

5.3 CHANNELING SIGNALS ON THE AUDIO OUTPUTS (EXTERNAL OUTPUTS function)

Cantorum Duo has one more interesting function: it allows the user to select the sound source transmitted through the rear panel outputs. Thanks to this function, the external loudspeakers can be placed so as to simulate the actual position of the windchest in a pipe organ or choose whether outputs should transmit only the reverberated signal.

To access this function page, select the EXT. OUTPUTS field under the SETTINGS menu:

EXTERNAL OUTPUTS
	OUT 1	OUT 2
PEDAL	√	√
MANUAL I	√	√
MANUAL II	√	√
REUERE	√	√
INPUT	√	√

The two columns clearly represent the two audio outputs, [OUT 1] and [OUT 2].

To move the cursor, use the [FIELD ▲] and FIELD ▼ buttons.

To select the sound source press [VALUE +]. A checkmark will appear on the selected field(s).

Use the [VALUE -] button to delete the checkmark and deselect the sound source.

To quit the page and save the current settings, press [EXIT].

N.B.

The reverberated signal (REVERB field) always contains all organ sections and the signal from the [INPUT] port located on the rear panel.

5.4 MIDI SETTINGS (MIDI functions)

NOTE

For further information about the MIDI interface, see par. 10.5 and 10.6.

To access the MIDI interface settings of the organ, select the MIDI field under the SETTINGS menu. This first video page will appear:

MIDI
CHANNELS	[ENTER]

NOTES TO COUPL.	YES
OUT MODE	OUT

containing the following fields:

o CHANNELS: set up the receiving and transmitting MIDI channels.
- FILTERS: set up the MIDI filters for data reception and transmission.
- NOTES TO COUPL. (Note to Couplers): this control allows to select the notes to send through MIDI. By selecting YES and playing, for example, on the first manual with the II/I coupler switched on, the notes are transmitted on both channels of the Manual I and Manual II sections.

Select NO to send only the notes physically played (in this example, notes will be transmitted only on the Manual I channel).

- OUT MODE: select the operating mode of the [MIDI OUT] port. The following modes can be selected:

- OUT: standard operating mode, MIDI data is transmitted after the organ senses an action (e.g. when keys are played, stops selected, volume and expression pedal used, combinations recalled etc...).

    B --> C["Sound generator"]
    C --> D["[MIDI IN"] [MIDI OUT]]
    D --> E["Expander\nMIDI IN"]
    E --> B

- THRU: the [MIDI OUT] port transmits only MIDI data received by the [MIDI IN] port and does not transmit any data about the actions applied on the organ. Use this option when the organ is part of a MIDI system; the instrument connected to the MIDI output of the organ does not respond to any action applied to the Cantorum Duo itself, but only receives the data from the instrument sending data to the Cantorum Duo [MIDI IN] port.

Press [EXIT] to leave the screen and save the current settings.

5.7 CONFIGURATION OF THE PEDALS AND THE MIDI PEDALBOARD (PEDALS FUNCTION)

In the PEDALS screen several functions are collected for the configuration of the pedals and MIDI pedalboard eventually connected.

You can select the operation of the pedal connected to the [CRESC.] connector on the rear panel, calibrate this pedal and the one connected to the [EXPR.] connector, if the operating range is not complete.

Cantorum Duo allows you to control the Crescendo also by receiving the MIDI message Control Change n.11 (Expression), transmitted by an external unit, such as an expression pedal of a MIDI pedalboard. On this screen, you can inform the system on which MIDI channel the CC11 is received.

For a correct operation, it is also necessary to inform the Cantorum Duo about the presence of a MIDI pedalboard connected to the [MIDI IN] port. In this condition the notes received on the MIDI channel assigned to the Pedal section are transposed according to the setting of the TRANSPOSE parameter of the main screen, they are not played if the Automatic Pedal is active, the velocity is recalculated according to the setting selected in the VELOCITY SENS function (see par. 5.5), and are retransmitted on the [MIDI OUT] port if you want send to an external MIDI device.

To display the screen containing the configuration functions, select the PEDALS item in the SETTINGS menu:

▶ PEDALS CRESC/EXPR CRESC. EXPR CH→CRESC 1 MIDI PEDALBOARD YES PED.CALIBR. ▶

These parameters allow:

o CRESC/EXPR: selecting the CRESC. item, the pedal connected to the [CRESC.] connector selects the steps of the Crescendo. Selecting the M.I/PED item the pedal controls the volume of the Manual I and Pedal sections. In this case, in the main screen, the M.I/PED box is displayed instead of the CRESCENDO box. This box displays the current level of expression of the two sections.
o EXPR CH-> CRESC: select the MIDI channel on which the CC11 for Crescendo control is received.
o MIDI PEDALBOARD: select YES in case of MIDI pedalboard connected to the [MIDI IN] port. Otherwise select NO.
o PED.CALIBR.: place the cursor on this field and press [ENTER] to access the pedal calibration screen:

The RELEASE field indicates the currently installed version, and the organ model is displayed below. Press [EXIT] to return to the previous page.

6. PROGRAMMING ORGAN STYLES (STYLE menu)

The Style indentifies the sound configuration of the organ, i.e. the actual voice activated by each stop. The many organ styles allow the musician to use several sound configurations, as if several different instruments were present at the same time in the same place.

The Cantorum Duo has four organ styles, each one refers to a particular aesthetic of sound: Baroque, Barock, Romantic and Symphonic. As already described at point 10 of chap. 2, Styles can be selected through the dedicated pistons: BAR, BRK, ROM and SYM. On the main video page, each time a Style is selected its name appears on the display. All four styles can be customized: the user can adjust the tuning difference among pipes, tremulant Speed and Depth for each section, stops volume and orchestra voices.

To modify a Style, recall the desired Style, then select the STYLES field in the MAIN MENU. The following page will appear:

STYLE BAROQUE ENSEMBLE 4 TREMULANTS VOICES VOLUME ORCHESTRA

The fields on this menu perform the following functions:

o ENSEMBLE: level of tiny natural differences in pitch between one organ pipe and another, simulating the tuning error that occurs in the organ's pipes due to wear over time and variations in temperature.

The values range from 0 (pipes perfectly tuned) to 8 (maximum pitch instability).

o TREMULANTS: adjust the speed and depth of the tremulant for each manual (par. 6.1).
o VOICES VOLUMES: set the volume for each stop (par. 6.2).
o ORCHESTRA: select orchestra voices (par 6.3).

To access a function, use the buttons [FIELD ▲] and FIELD ▼ to place the cursor on the corresponding field, then press [ENTER].

To quit the STYLE menu, press [EXIT].

NB

Any general combination and Tutti can recall the organ Style that was in use when the combination was saved. However in order to save Styles to combinations, the corresponding option of the COMBINATIONS function must be activated. For further information see par. 5.6.

6.1 ADJUSTING THE TREMULANTS (TREMULANTS function)

In a pipe organ it is of the utmost importance that the air pressure remain constant, so as to obtain a steady and sustained sound. However, mechanical devices were introduced to generate periodical variations in the air flow.

These variations created the “tremulant” effect on the sound, which made some lead registers more pleasant, and the tone of the reeds colourful.

By using the [TREM 1] and [TREM II] thumb pistons it is possible to enable and disable the effect in question.

The speed and depth of the modulation can be adjusted for each Style. To access the setting page, select the TREMULANTS field under the STYLES menu:

TREMULANTS
	SPD	DPT
MANUAL I	16	16
MANUAL II	16	16

That show the current SPD (speed) or DPT (depth) and values of the manuals' tremulant.

Press [EXIT] to go back to the STYLES menu and save the new settings.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Any general combination and Tutti can recall the tremulant Depth and Speed parameters. To save Depth and Speed to combinations, activate the corresponding option through the COMBINATIONS function (see par. 5.6).

6.2 REGULATING THE VOLUME OF EACH VOICE

(VOICES VOLUMES function)

The volumes for each single stop can be adjusted in a range of -12 dB to +6 dB, and allows a perfect balance of the overall sound of the organ.

Select the VOICES VOLUMES field, in the STYLES menu. The display will show the organ sections, select the section that contains the voice you wish to adjust:

VOICES VOLUME PEDAL [ENTER] MANUAL I MANUAL II

Use the buttons [FIELD ▲], FIELD ▼ and [ENTER] to select the field.

A quick alternative to adjust the volumes is pressing and holding the desired stop for a few seconds. This can be done both on this page or on the volume settings page.

MANUAL I PAGE 1/3 Bourdon 16 +3 Principal 8 +1 Rohrflöte 8 -2 Viola 8 0 Octave 4 +4

During the edit the stop will be on and can be played for better, quicker adjustment. Other stops can also be switched on to assess the overall effect of the changes. To quit the function and save the values press [EXIT]. The changes made will be automatically saved in the current organ style.

6.3 SELECTING THE ORCHESTRAL VOICES (ORCHESTRA function)

As described in chap. 2, in the set of voices of the Cantorum Duo are also present a series of orchestral timbres.

To select an orchestra voice, access the STYLES menu and then select the ORCHESTRA field. The display shows:

ORCHESTRA
	VOICE	SUS.
PED	CELLO 16	NO
MI	PIANO	YES
MII	STRINGS	YES

For each division, in the VOICE column you can select the orchestral voice while in the SUS. column you can enable or disable the Sustain pedal function.

For easier detection, the thumb piston being programmed is switched on based on the position of the cursor on the display.

To quit the function press [EXIT]. The changes made will be automatically saved in the current organ style.

NB

Any general combination and Tutti can recall orchestra voices; this means that the stops can be used to activate different voices, according to the current combination/Tutti. To save orchestra voices to combinations or Tutti, the corresponding option must be activated through the COMBINATIONS function (see par. 5.6).

7. SAVING THE ORGAN CONFIGURATION TO FILES (FILE function)

The Cantorum Duo can save the complete organ configuration (or parts of it) to a USB drive.

The configuration can then be recalled at any time. The main purpose of this function is to offer an almost unlimited number of configurations; furthermore, a saved configuration can be used on a different organ of the same series. To access the save and load function, select FILE on the MAIN MENU.

The video page:

► FILE LOAD ► [ENTER] SAVE ►

contains two functions:

o LOAD: load files from a pen drive (par. 7.2).
o SAVE: save the organ configuration to a pen drive (par 7.3).

To access a function, place the cursor on the corresponding field using the buttons [FIELD ▲] and FIELD ▼ then press [ENTER].

To leave the FILE menu press [EXIT].

7.1 INFORMATIONS CONCERNING THE USB PEN

When connecting a new or just formatted pen drive to the organ, access to the FILE menu the system will automatically create two directories in the drive: "organ". Inside this folder, five sub-folders are automatically created. They are:

• "alls": this folder contains the .all files, with all the settings and functions of the SETTINGS and STYLE (the four Styles) menus, all general combinations, Tutti, Crescendo steps, the selected Style and the Local Off status of stops.
• “combinations”: this folder contains the .cmb files, with all the data on general combinations, Crescendo steps and Tutti.
• “settings”: this folder contains the .set files, with all the settings from the SETTINGS menu, the selected Style and the Local Off status.
• “songs”: this folder contains the .mid files of the songs recorded through the internal sequencer.
• “styles_all”: this folder contains the .sta files, with the settings from the STYLES menu regarding all four styles.
• “styles_single”: this folder contains the .sts files, with the settings (STYLES menu) of the saved style.

These are system folders to arrange files, and they must not be deleted or renamed, otherwise the saved files will be lost.

For a detailed description on the content of the .all, .set, .sta, .sts and .cmb files, read par. 10.4.

N.B.

• Once the USB pen is inserted please wait some seconds before displaying the FILE menu.
• The system displays the error message “USB PEN NOT PRESENT” when accessing the FILE functions without a USB drive connected to the instrument, or when the pen drive has not been recognized. Should this happen, check that the pen drive is not damaged and has the correct format.
• To copy files with a computer to a USB drive that has never been used with the organ, it is necessary to create the folders (described above) manually. Files must be placed in the dedicated folder; follow the instructions on the folders and their function.
• Always use USB pens formatted with FAT or FAT32 file system (no NTFS).
• The folders "alls", "combinations", "settings", "styles_all" and "styles_single" can contain up to a maximum of 64 files. The "songs" folder can contain up to 256.
• File names cannot be longer than 30 characters (including the file extension).

7.2 LOADING ORGAN COMBINATIONS AND/OR SETTINGS (FILE LOAD function)

The Cantorum Duo organs can save the current configurations. The FILE LOAD function allows to recall into the work memory these configurations and combinations already saved to the USB pen and therefore use them.

To load a file, select the LOAD field under the FILE menu:

FILE LOAD ALL ▶ [ENTER] COMBINATIONS ▶ STYLE - ALL ▶ STYLE - SINGLE ▶ SETTINGS ▶

select what you wish to load:

o ALL: the complete organ configuration.
o COMBINATIONS: all general combinations, Tutti, Crescendo steps.
o STYLE - ALL: the 4 organ styles.
o STYLE - CURR.: a single Style.
o SETTINGS: the general organ settings, from the SETTINGS menu.

Once the loading option has been selected, the display shows the corresponding files on the USB drive:

When the file has been loaded, the message "FILE SUCCESSFULLY LOADED" will appear.

N.B.

• When a single Style is loaded, it can only replace a Style of the same type (a Baroque Style replaces Baroque, Romantic replaces Romantic etc.). To identify Styles easily, the system always suggests the Style type as file name when saving Styles.
• Please keep in mind that when loading a file, all the corresponding information (settings, combinations, Styles etc.) currently in use on the organ will be lost. To avoid it, it is recommended to save the current organ data to a USB drive (see par. 7.3) before loading a file.
• The system shows the error message “FILE LOAD FAILED – INCOMPATIBLE MODEL” when attempting to load a file saved with a different organ model.
• The system shows the error message "FILE LOAD FAILED - INCOMPATIBLE RELEASE" when attempting to load a file saved using a more recent version of the operating system.
• The error message “FILE LOAD FAILED – CORRUPTED FILE” means that the file is damaged.

7.3 SAVING AS FILE OF ORGAN COMBINATIONS AND/OR SETTINGS (FILE SAVE function)

To save settings and combinations into the USB pen drive, select the SAVE field under the FILE menu:

FILE SAVE ALL ▶ [ENTER] COMBINATIONS ▶ STYLE - ALL ▶ STYLE - CURR. ▶ SETTINGS ▶

in this first screen you can select what you desire to save:

• ALL: the whole configuration of the organ.

where it is possible to give a name to the saved file. To select the characters, use the buttons [VALUE +] and [VALUE -], to move the cursor use the buttons [FIELD ▲] and FIELD ▼. When the name is complete, press [ENTER] to save the file.

When the saving procedure has been successfully completed, the message “FILE SUCCESSFULLY SAVED” will appear.

N.B.

• When a single Style is loaded, it can only replace a Style of the same type (a Baroque Style replaces Baroque, Romantic replaces Romantic etc.). To identify Styles easily, the system always suggests the Style type as file name when saving Styles.
• If there is already a file with the same name and extension in the USB drive, you have the option to overwrite that file; the system shows the following message: "FILE ALREADY EXISTS". Now press [ENTER] to proceed or [EXIT] to enter a different name. Please keep in mind that overwritten files will be lost and the data contained within cannot be recovered.
• In the case of "FILE SAVE FAILED" error, retry the operation. If the error occurs again, check that there is enough space in the USB stick. If the error still occurs, the USB stick could be damaged so try using a different stick or format it with a computer.

8. PLAYING AND RECORDING OF MUSICAL SEQUENCES (SEQUENCER)

The organ is equipped with an internal sequencer (digital recorder). The sequencer can record songs played on the instrument, controls used and MIDI data received through the [MIDI IN] port.

Recordings can then be saved on the USB stick as MIDI files (Standard MIDI file, format 1 to 125 beats per minute, 384 ticks per quarter note) and played back at any time.

To recall the sequencer press the [SEQUENC.] button beside the display. The screen for selection of the system's three operating modes is displayed:

SEQUENCER PLAY ▶ [ENTER] TRANSPOSE ① RECORD ▶ OVERDUB ▶

o PLAY: playback of the performances saved in the USB pen (par. 8.1).
o TRANSPOSER: applies a semitone transposition to the songs played by the sequencer.
o RECORD: recording of songs of music (par. 8.2).
o OVERDUB: overdub of songs of music (par. 8.3)

N.B.

• To copy files with a computer to a USB drive that has never been used with the organ, it is necessary to create the folders (described in the par. 7.1) manually. Files must be placed in the dedicated folder; follow the instructions on the folders and their function.
• Always use USB pens formatted with FAT or FAT32 file system (no NTFS).
• The .mid files recorded and/or played by the sequencer are saved to the "songs" folder. The folder can contain a maximum of 256 files.
• File names cannot be longer than 30 characters (including the file extension).
• Transposition set in the Main Page does not have any effect on playback of songs (unlike recording, where the notes are acquired transposed).

8.1 PLAYING BACK A SONGS (PLAY mode)

In the sequencer mode selection screen described above, select the PLAY field. The display shows the mid files stored in the USB pen:

PLAY DIR ABIDE WITH ME LIFE ETERNAL SONS OF MICHAEL TRUTH ETERNAL

PLAY TEMP0 100% ABIDE WITH ME 00:19 ▼FLD=◀ -VAL=T- ▲FLD=◀ +VAL=T+ [ENTER] TO CONTINUE [EXIT] TO STOP

furthermore, the functions of the buttons [ENTER] and [EXIT] have changed:

• [ENTER]: pause / play the track.
• [EXIT]: stop the reproduction.

[FIELD ▲], FIELD ▼, [VALUE -], [VALUE +] keep the functions already described.

N.B.

• Once the USB pen is inserted please wait some seconds before selecting the PLAY mode.
• The system displays the error message “USB PEN NOT PRESENT” when selecting the PLAY mode without a USB drive connected to the instrument, or when the pen drive has not been recognized. Should this happen, check that the pen drive is not damaged and has the correct format.
• The error message "FILE LOAD FAILED" means that the file is damaged or bigger than 250 KB (maximum files size that you can play with this sequencer).

USING RECORDED AND/OR MODIFIED SONGS WITH DEDICATED SOFTWARE

MIDI files recorded by the internal sequencer can be modified with the most common MIDI editing softwares. This might prove useful to correct errors of the recording or to generally improve the track.

However, we strongly advice inexperienced users not to do so.

When modifying a MIDI file, please follow these rules:

- Do not modify the tracks channel. If it necessary, respect the internal sequencer channelling. The sections are channelled as follows:

■ Pedal: 1
■ Man.I: 2
■ Man.II: 3

The internal sequencer also assigns a name to the track while recording, that corresponds to the sections playing a track. Most computer software can read the track names:

■ “Pedal” track: Pedal
■ "Great" track: Man.I
■ “Swell” track: Man.II
- “Volumes” track: divisional volumes and expression pedal
■ “Stops” track: stops conditions

There are other tracks for internal use and future developments only, that should not be altered.

• Divisional modules are recorded as Control Change 7 events. Expression pedals position as Control Change 11. These Control Change channel are identical to the previous ones.
• The stops settings, together with cancel, enclosed, coupling settings etc. are recorded as System Exclusive. We advice you not to alter these codes. If you wish to add or remove stops from a recording, you should know its exclusive system code. To do so, you should monitor the MIDI OUT port of the organ and, switching on and off a stop, check the MIDI code transmitted. Add or remove this code only from the “Stops” track.
• When saving the MIDI file do not change the resolution of 384 tpqn (tick per quarter note).

The sequencer can also paly non-recorded tracks. Again, keep in mind that:

• The track channelling may not be consistent with the internal sequencer. Reset the channels according to what described above.
• Stop codes might not be present in a MIDI track. In this case we advice you overdub (see par. 8.3) with the desired stop combination.
• Divisional volumes and expression pedal may be lacking from a MIDI track. Again, we advice you overdub the tracks.

8.2 RECORDING A SONGS (RECORD mode)

In the sequencer mode video page, select the RECORD field. The display will show:

RECORD NEW SONG NEW SONG 00:00 [ENTER] TO START [EXIT] TO QUIT

As in Play mode, the screen again carries information about the functions of the buttons:

• [ENTER]: pause /restart recording.
• [EXIT]: stop recording.

Once recording has started, the functions change to:

RECORD NEW SONG NEW SONG 00:03 [ENTER] TO PAUSE [EXIT] TO STOP

- [ENTER]: pause /restart recording.

- [EXIT]: stop recording.

Press [EXIT] to end the session. The display will show the screen allowing the recording just made to be saved:

o SAVE: saving of the recording as a MIDI file.
o PLAY: playback of the recoding before saving it.
o OVERDUB: creation of a new recording to be added to the sequence just acquired (see par. 8.3).
o DISCARD AND EXIT: delete the recording and quit sequencer Record mode.

If the SAVE field is selected, the system prompts the user to assign a name to the MIDI sequence about to be saved:

SAVE SONG FILE NAME: [ENTER] TO SAVE [EXIT] TO CANCEL

When composing the name, use the [FIELD ▲] and FIELD ▼ buttons to move the cursor and [VALUE +] and [VALUE -] to select the character. To confirm the name and proceed to save the data, press the [ENTER] button; use [EXIT] to return to the previous screen, aborting the saving operation.

The message "FILE SUCCESSFULLY SAVED" confirms that the file has been saved.

If [EXIT] is pressed while in the save screen (i.e. when the recording has been acquired but not saved), the system warns that the recording is about to be lost:

WARNING DISCARD THE SEQUENCE TAKE? [ENTER] TO CONFIRM [EXIT] TO GO BACK

and that [ENTER] must be pressed to confirm that you wish to quit and delete the data acquired, or [EXIT] to return to the save screen.

N.B.

• The system displays the error message “USB PEN NOT PRESENT” when trying to save a MIDI sequence without a USB drive connected to the instrument, or when the pen drive has not been recognized. Should this happen, check that the pen drive is not damaged and has the correct format.
• In the case of "FILE SAVE FAILED" error, retry the operation. If the error occurs again, check that there is enough space in the USB stick. If the error still occurs, the USB stick could be damaged so try using a different stick or format it with a computer.

8.3 OVERDUBBING A SONGS (OVERDUB mode)

The internal sequencer record, play, but also overdub already recorded MIDI tracks. It can be done accessing the OVERDUB function:

• in the Sequencer main page (see the beginning of chapt .8) and selecting a MIDI file;
• at the end of a recording session (see par. 8.2).

The system will ask whether to substitute the settings (stops, coupling, tremulant, MIDI controls, general controls) recorded in the track with the ones currently selected. Press [ENTER] to use the new settings or [EXIT] to leave them as they are.

WARNING REPLACE PANEL IN THE SONG WITH CURRENT SETTINGS [ENTER] TO REPLACE [EXIT] TO KEEP

The system will ask the same question, this time regarding the divisional volumes and expression pedal.

• [VALUE -]: decrease play /recording speed. It can be seen on top left as percentage (100% in the picture above).
• [VALUE +]: increase play / recording speed. It can be seen on top left as percentage (100% in the picture above).

As the recording begins, the controls change again:

OVERDUB TEMP0 100% ABIDE WITH ME 00:08 -VAL=T- +VAL=T+ [ENTER] TO PAUSE [EXIT] TO STOP

• [ENTER]: pause / start recording.
• [EXIT]: stop recording.

[VALUE -], [VALUE +] maintain the functions described above.

Press [EXIT] to quit the recording. The system will ask you to accept the overdubbing:

OVERDUB DONE ACCEPT ▶ [ENTER] TRIM & ACCEPT ▶ PLAY ▶ PLAY FROM OUD ▶ DISCARD ▶

You can choose one of the following options:

• ACCEPT: accept the overdubbing. In case the overdub track is shorter than the original songs, it will not be shortened.
• TRIM AND ACCEPT: accept the overdubbing. If the overdub track is shorter than the original song, this will be trimmed to end together with the overdubbing.
• PLAY: play the song with the overdubbing, so as to assess the track. The changes will not be saved yet.
  ○ PLAY FROM OVD (overdub): plays the song, starting from the first event of last overdubbing, so as to assess the track. The changes will not be saved yet.

N.B.

• The system displays the error message “USB PEN NOT PRESENT” when trying to save a MIDI sequence without a USB drive connected to the instrument, or when the pen drive has not been recognized. Should this happen, check that the pen drive is not damaged and has the correct format.
• The error message "FILE LOAD FAILED" means that the file is damaged or bigger than 128 KB (maximum files size that you can overdub).
• In the case of "FILE SAVE FAILED" error, retry the operation. If the error occurs again, check that there is enough space in the USB stick. If the error still occurs, the USB stick could be damaged so try using a different stick or format it with a computer.

9. STOP LOCAL OFF

Setting a stop in Local Off mode means that it will not be played by the organ's internal sound generation system, but the relative MIDI (System Exclusive code) message will be transmitted, so that it can be turned on and played on a connected instrument.

To set a stop in Local Off mode, while the main screen is on the display, press the [S] (Set) piston, keep it pressed and also press the [C] (Cancel) button. The LEDs of all the stops will light up and the display will show the video page:

LOCAL ON/OFF SWITCH INTERNAL ACTIVE VOICES. TO STORE PRESS SET + CANCEL

To set a voice in Local Off mode, operate its draw-stop or rocker switch so that its light goes out.

After setting the setup required, press [S] and [C] together to save it.

Accessing the Local Off setting function after this will trigger display of the status of the stops as follows:

• Light on: stop in Local On mode (plays with internal generation)
• Light off: stop in Local Off status

10. APPENDIX

10.1 DEMONSTRATION SONGS

The organ has a number of demonstration (demo) tracks to allow you to fully appreciate the quality its sound qualities and/or those of the changes you have made.

To recall playback of the demo tracks, select the DEMO field from the menu MAIN MENU.

Use the [FIELD ▲] and FIELD ▼ buttons to select each song of music. Press [ENTER] to start and stop each song. Press [EXIT] to leave the DEMO function.

10.2 TEMPERAMENT

Tuning a fixed intonation instrument (e.g. organs) consists of creating a chain of twelve fifths, properly crafted so that at the extremes the interval can be reduced, through division or multiplication, to a perfect octave. A perfect fifth is achieved when two sounds have a frequency ratio of 3:2. If from any sound we calculate twelve ascending perfect fifths, the sound obtained is (3/2)^12 . With 7 octaves instead, the result is a 27 frequency. If we compare these values we find that (3/2)^12 is slightly higher than 2^7 . Rounding off after the fourth decimal, we find that:

(3/2)^12 = 129,7463 , while 2^7 = 128,0000 . The ratio between these two value is called Pythagorean comma.

It can be defined as the surplus of twelve perfect fifth compared to seven octaves, both starting from the same sound.

The picture is not in scale (otherwise the comma would be almost invisible) but it gives a graphical understanding of the problem.

Now, dividing the Pythagorean comma in 12 equal parts, and subtracting this value to each pure fifth, the result is a twelve-fifth chain, ending with the same value as seven octaves.

ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 ets12 pure pure pure pure pure pure pure pure

This is the Equal Temperament System (with the comma split in twelve parts).

The Pythagorean comma can be split in larger parts and divided among a few (less than 12) fifths. This leads to other temperaments, such as the Werckmeister III, which spreads the comma in four, equal parts, between C-G, G-D, D-A, and B-F#. A very important interval in the history of tuning is the major third. A chain of four pure fifths makes (3/2)^4 . A major third interval is represented by a 5/4 ratio. Therefore, rounding off, the frequency of a major third, generated by Pythagorean fifths is 1,2656, while a natural major third is 1,2500. This surplus is called Syntonic comma. A series of four fifths, each one reduced by 14 of Syntonic comma, makes a perfect major third. These fifths are called “meantone”. If a temperament recovers only one syntonic comma, it still needs to compensate the small difference between Pythagorean and syntonic comma. This difference is called skisma. For example, the Kirnberger II temperament is based on the syntonic comma. It spreads the comma equally between D-A and A-E and the skisma between F# and C#. A series of three natural major thirds makes a frequency of (5/4)^3 . The difference between that and the octave is called enharmonic comma. When a temperament makes up for more than the Pythagorean comma, usually one fifth is much wider than the rest and becomes unusable. It is called the wolf fifth.

10.3 TEMPERAMENTS OF THE CANTORUM DUO

In addition to equal temperament, with the Cantorum Duo you can play other temperaments described below.

KIRNBERGER II (KIRNBERGER2 on display)

Based on two fifths, reduced by half syntonic comma, and one fifth reduced by a skisma. There are three pure majors: C, G, D. Therefore, the major triads on C and G are pure. Same goes with the minor triads, on E and B. The four major thirds on C#, G#, Eb, Bb are Pythagorean. The coexistence of pure and tempered chords gives a peculiar character to this tuning.

WERCKMEISTER III (WERCKMEIST.3 on display)

Based on four fifths, each reduced by 14 Pythagorean comma – the others are pure. Creates three Pythagorean major thirds on: C#, F#, G#. As the number of alteration in the piece performed increases, so does the harmonic tension.

PYTHAGOREAN

Based on eleven pure Pythagorean fifths and a wolf fifth on G#. This tuning can be used to play monodies, and music that does not use thirds in general. Most useful for curiosity and educational ends.

This tuning is the prototype of all temperaments based on fifths reduced by 14 of syntonic comma. This generates eight pure major thirds: Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, E. However, the other thirds are unsuable (B, F#, G#). The fifths are defined as meantone fifths: shorter than pure fifths but still sounding well. Only one, G#, fills all the gap created by 11 others and becomes a wolf fifth. Tonalities with little alterations sound very pleasant. Well characterised chromatic scale. Move the wolf on C# to use the G# key as Ab.

VALLOTTI

Based on six fifths, each decreased by 1/6 of Pythagorean comma. The others are pure fifths. The major thirds on Eb–B, Bb–E, F–A are equivalent, as the ones on C, G and D. Thirds on F#, C# and G# are Pythagorean instead.

CHAUMONT

A meantone temperament; the wolf fifth has been improved by enlarging the fifths on Eb and Bb. There are six pure major thirds: F, C, G, D, A, E. The third major on B, although not very pleasant, can still be used.

KELLNER 1975

This tuning was created by Kellner, who figured out its structure from the symbols on the first page of the "Wohltemperierte Klavier" by Bach, 1722. The tuning is based on five fifths, each reduced of 1/5 of Pythagorean comma. This originates three Pythagorean major thirds, on: C#, F#, G#. None of the thirds is pure. The major third closer to being pure is on C.

KIRNBERGER III (KIRNBERGER3 on display)

Based on four fifths, each one reduced by 14 of syntonic comma, and one fifth reduced of the remaining skisma. There is only one pure major third on C. From most to least pure, they are G, D, A and F, Bb, Eb. E, B and F# are equivalent one with the other. Pythagorean major thirds are on C# and G#. Pieces with many alterations are well characterised.

WERCKMEISTER IV (WERCKMEIST.4 on display) Based on five fiths, each reduced of 1/3 of Pythagorean comma, and two more thirds increased of the same amount. Very pleasant with mostly unaltered tonalities, it becomes “harder” as the alterations increase.

WERCKMEISTER V (WERCKMEIST.5 on display) Based on five fifths reduced by 1/5 of Pythagorean comma, and one fifth increased of the same amount. This tuning is rarely used as there is no tonality that is much euphonic.

SILBERMANN

Based on fifths reduced of 1/6 of syntonic comma. Wolf fifth is located on G#. Thirds that in meantone tuning are pure, here are 1/3 syntonic comma wider. The wolf fifth is less prominent, not cacophonic yet not completely acceptable.

MEANTONE PURE MINOR 3rd (MEANTONE 3M on display)

This temperament is built with fifths narrowed by 1/3 of syntonic comma. The wolf fifth on G# is very large and completely unusable. The nine minor thirds based on C, G, D, A, E, B, F#, C#, G# are pure.

The eight major thirds based on Eb, Bb, F, C, G, D, A, E, are narrower, with respect to the pure, by 1/3 of syntonic comma. Again in this temperament the chromatic scale has a particular character.

ZARLINO

Eleven fifths are reduced by 2/7 of syntonic comma. The wolf fifth, very wide and therefore unusable, lies on G#. Eight third majors are usable and reduced by 1/7 of syntonic comma.

Well characterised chromatic scale.

SAUVEUR 1 - SAUVEUR 2

The Saveur 1 tuning is based on eleven fifths, reduced by 1/5 of syntonic comma. Wolf fifth lies on G#. In Saveur 2 the fifth on F# is pure. The eight third majors of the meantone are somewhat wider here, so the “wolf” is less prominent. Well tuned tonalities are particularly “warm” and pleasant.

BARCA

The Barca temperament is based on six fifths (from C) reduced by 1/6 of syntonic comma each, and one fifth (on Eb) reduced of the remaining skisma. Therefore there are no Pythagorean thirds, and tonalities with many alterations still sound well.

10.5 WHAT MIDI IS

The MIDI interface (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows instruments of different makes and kinds to communicate with each other, using this very specific protocol of codes. This allows the creation of systems of MIDI instruments, offering much greater versatility and control than is possible with single instruments. To make this communication possible, all MIDI instruments have two or three 5-pin DIN connectors called:

• MIDI IN: The connector through which the instrument receives the MIDI data transmitted by other units.
• MIDI OUT: The connector through which the instrument sends the MIDI data it has generated to other units.
• MIDI THRU: This connector, not always provided on all instruments, is used for connecting several units in series, since it transmits the MIDI data exactly as they are received by the respective MIDI IN port.

Most instruments equipped with MIDI interface transmit MIDI messages which specify, for example, which note has been played and with what dynamic, by means of the MIDI OUT connector. If this connector is connected to the MIDI IN connector of another MIDI instrument, such as an expander, the second instrument will respond exactly to the notes played on the transmitter instrument.

The same type of information transfer is used for recording MIDI sequences. A computer or a sequencer can be used to record the MIDI data generated by the transmitter instrument. If these recorded data are sent back to the instrument, it automatically repeats the recorded performance.

MIDI is able to transmit a multitude of digital data by means of just one cable, and thus just one

connector. this is thanks to the MIDI channels. There are 16 MIDI channels, and in a similar way as for radio communications in which two stations can only communicate if they are tuned to the same frequency (or channel), two MIDI instruments connected together are only able to communicate if the transmitter instrument channel is the same as the receiver instrument channel.

MIDI messages subdivide into channel messages and system messages. The following is a short description of these messages:

CHANNEL MESSAGES

NOTE ON

This message is transmitted when a note is depressed on the keyboard. Each Note On message contains the following information:

Note On: when a key has been struck;

Note Number: the key which has been pressed, and therefore the relative note played;

Velocity: note velocity (i.e. the force applied when the key was struck).

Note messages are expressed as a number from 0 to 127, with middle C represented by number 60.

NOTE OFF

This message is transmitted when a key struck previously is released.

When it is received, the sound of the note relating to the key is switched off. Each Note On message contains the following information:

Note Off: a key has been released;

Note Number: which key has been released;

Velocity: velocity (i.e. how fast the note was released).

N.B.:

A Note On message with Velocity=0 is considered equivalent to a Note Off message.

PROGRAM CHANGE

This message is used to select the programs or sounds of the receiver instrument.

There is also a specific standard called General MIDI which describes which sound should be recalled for each Program Change received. This association is usually described by means of a table included in the user manual of the instrument which adopts the standard.

This message contains the following information:

Program Change: voice or program change;

Program Change Number: the number of the program or voice to be activated;

CONTROL CHANGE

These are control messages (often associated to trimmers or pedals) used to add expression to the performance, allowing you to set (and control in real time if necessary) voice parameters such as volume (CC n.7) or the position of the swell pedals (CC n.11), etc.

This message contains the following information:

Control Change: a controller has been adjusted

Controller Number: which controller has been adjusted

Controller Position: the position of the controller

SYSTEM MESSAGES

SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE

These messages can only be interpreted by an instrument made by the same producer as the transmitter device (in some cases only by the same model). They mainly relate to the instrument's sound generation and programming parameters. The organ uses these messages to control all the internal parameters and for switching the voices on and off.

REAL TIME

These messages are used for the real-time control of specific modules or functions of a connected instrument. These messages include the Start, Stop, Pause/Continue and Clock commands.

START: the sequencer has started to record or play back a MIDI sequence

STOP: the sequencer has been stopped

PAUSE / CONTINUE: the sequencer has been set in stop status

CLOCK: the sequencer speed

N.B.

The organ does not transmit / receive the messages described above. They are described for your information only.

The Real Time messages also include the Active Sensing code, sent to keep the dialogue between two MIDI instruments alive. When the receiver instrument does not receive any MIDI data or the Active Sensing code in a time interval of about 300 milliseconds, it considers the MIDI connection to have been deactivated, so it switches off any notes still active. Remember that the transmission and reception of this message is optional, so not all instruments are equipped to handle it.
