ORGAN part

You can use “Assign” to assign the same function of each control (outlined in blue) to a general purpose controller like a pedal or wheel. Ø“Configuring the assignments”
You can configure the detailed settings for the part from the menu screen. Ø“Organ menu”
By holding down the [MENU] button and operating another button or knob, you can directly switch to the related menu screen for the button that you pressed.Ø“Basic controls”

TONE

Name	Explanation
[TONE SELECT] knob	The indicators above the knob light up according to the tone that’s selected. TONE WHEEL: Traditional tonewheel organ TRANSISTOR 1, TRANSISTOR 2: Transistor-type combo organ PIPE: Pipe organ
	When you press the [TONE SELECT] knob:
	The TONE LIST screen is shown.

OVERDRIVE
Adds distortion to the sound, giving it greater impact.

Name	Explanation
[DRIVE] knob	Turn the knob clockwise for more distortion.
[ON/OFF] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the overdrive effect is applied.
	When you press this while holding down the [SHIFT] button:
	Switches between the types of overdrive. The indicators above the button light up according to the type that’s selected. VK: the overdrive installed in a VK-7 G.AMP: guitar amp simulation SATURATOR (both indicators light up): an effect that combines both overdrive and a filter

VIBRATO/CHORUS
This effect lets you apply cyclical modulation or vibrato to the pitch. You can also mix the original (dry) sound with the sound of the vibrato effect to create a chorus effect, which adds thickness and spaciousness to the sound.

Name

Explanation

[TYPE] knob

Turn the knob to select the effect type. The indicators above the knob light up according to the type that’s selected.

V-1 through V-3: vibrato (weak)–(strong)

C-1 through C-3: chorus (weak)–(strong)

[ON/OFF] button

When you press this button to make it light up, vibrato or chorus is applied.

PERCUSSION
Percussion adds a percussive attack to the sound, which gives a sense of dynamics. When playing legato, percussion sounds are applied only to the first note played. Percussion sounds are applied to all notes when playing staccato.
* Percussion can be added only to the upper part.
Ø“Percussion”

Name	Explanation
[VOLUME] button	Sets the percussion sound and the volume of the harmonic bar. Lit: SOFT (less percussion sound) Unlit: NORM (less harmonic bar sound)
[DECAY] button	Sets the percussion tone decay (how the sound fades out). Lit: FAST (percussion sound fades out immediately) Unlit: SLOW (percussion sound fades out slowly)
[HARMONIC] button	Sets the pitch of the percussion sound. Lit: 2ND (same pitch as the 4′ harmonic bar) Unlit: 3RD (same pitch as the 2 2/3′ harmonic bar)
[ON/OFF] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the percussion effect is applied.

HARMONIC BAR PART
An organ tone is comprised of three parts: upper, lower and pedal.
Normally, when you switch the ORGAN part on and play the keyboard, the tone of the part plays that’s selected by the harmonic bars.
You may hear the tone from a part that’s different from the button that’s lit, depending on the split setting of the organ.
Make the button light up, and select the part for which you want to apply the harmonic bar settings.

Name	Explanation
[PEDAL] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the sound of the pedal part changes when you adjust the harmonic bars.
[LOWER] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the sound of the lower part changes when you adjust the harmonic bars.
[UPPER] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the sound of the upper part changes when you adjust the harmonic bars.

HARMONIC BAR

Name

Explanation

[16’]–[1’] bars

A different foot/feet (pitch) stop is assigned to each harmonic bar. Combine these stops to create different organ sounds.

The volume for each foot/feet stop is the highest when the harmonic bar is pulled out (down), and the stop’s sound is not heard when the harmonic bar is pushed in (up) all the way.

You can adjust the volume of each stop by sliding the harmonic bars in and out after selecting a tone.
The indicators to the right of each harmonic bar indicate the current position of the harmonic bar. When you move a harmonic bar, its indicators also work in tandem.

When the pedal part is selected, notes other than [16′] and [8′] are not heard.

Relationship between the harmonic bars and the pitch

When you play middle C (C4), the harmonic bars produce the pitches as shown in the illustration below.

ROTARY
This is a swelling or modulated effect that simulates a rotating speaker (rotary effect).

Name	Explanation
SPEED indicators	These two indicators alternately light up to show the speed of rotation.
[SPEED] button	Press this button to switch between rotary speaker rotation speeds. When you switch the rotary effect from “FAST” to “SLOW”, the modulation gradually slows down; and when you switch the rotary effect from “SLOW” to “FAST”, the modulation gradually speeds up. Lit: FAST Unlit: SLOW
[BRAKE] button	When you press this button to make it light, the brake effect is applied. This lets you stop the rotation sound produced by the rotary effect. The cabinet resonance from the rotating speaker is retained, which differs from a simple on/off control. This effect doesn’t work on tones besides the organ.
[ON/OFF] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the rotary effect is applied.

Common for all parts

Name	Explanation
[LEVEL] knob	Adjusts the part volume. Ø“Adjusting the volume/pan for a part”
	When turned while you hold down the [SHIFT] button:
	Adjusts the part pan.
[ON/OFF] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the part turns on.
	When you press this while holding down the [SHIFT] button:
	Configures the MIDI output settings for the parts.
SPLIT [LEFT]/[RIGHT] buttons	Splits this part for performance. Ø “Dividing the keyboard into two regions (split)”
OCTAVE [DOWN] / [UP] buttons	Changes the key range for the part. Ø “Raising/lowering a part’s key range in octaves”
[H-BAR MANUAL] button	When you press this button to make it light up, the settings for the current physical positions of the harmonic bars are given priority, and the sound plays accordingly.

Splitting the organ tones

Using the ORGAN SPLIT function, you can split the upper, lower and pedal tones of the ORGAN part across the keyboard of this instrument.

Press the [PEDAL] button or the [LOWER] button while holding down the [SHIFT] button.

The lights for the [PEDAL] button and [LOWER] button indicate how the parts are split while you are holding down the [SHIFT] button.

[PEDAL] blinks	In relation to the split point, the lower part tone sounds on the left side of the keyboard, and the upper part tone sounds on the right side of the keyboard.
[LOWER] lights up

[PEDAL] lights up	In relation to the split point, the pedal part tone sounds on the left side of the keyboard, and the upper part tone sounds on the right side of the keyboard.
[LOWER] blinks


[PEDAL] lights up	In relation to the split point, the lower part tone sounds on the left side of the keyboard, and the upper part tone sounds on the right side of the keyboard. Also, a split point for just the pedal part is added, and the pedal part tone plays in that region.
[LOWER] lights up

You can also verify and set the split point of the organ on the SPLIT POINT screen.
