11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by
the manufacturer, or sold, with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged
in any way, such ad power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WICKS CM-100 Pipe Organ Module
ENGLISH
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing the WICKS CM 100 sound module. The Company, a world leader in the con-
struction of fine classical organs, has installed in the CM 100 the latest and most sophisticated techno-
logy dedicated to the high fidelity reproduction of pipe organ sounds, with impressive flexibility and rema-
kable quality of timbre.
After years of research exploring musical synthesis techniques, The Viscount’s Research and
Development unit is the FIRST in the world to create the sounds of a pipe organ by using the "physical
modeling technology" upon which the ACCUPIPE is based.
Instead of using "sound samples" from pipe organs (previously the standard method) this revolutionary
sound generation system involves the real-time calculation of the waveform generated by a precise
mathematical model based on the sound emission physics of
a pipe organ, incorporating the principal physical parameters
ie. construction geometry, materials used, and pertaining air
pressure, etc.
The fact that the simple reproduction of memorized "sound"
has been disregarded, permits the achievement of unimagi-
nable realism, with the level of detail previously only created
by a traditional pipe organ.
For example, the mathematical model allows the production
of a different sound for each key since it provides the virtual
reproduction of the original instrument by assigning a different
pipe to each note, similar to a pipe organ.
Furthermore, it will generate a different sound for each conse-
cutive pressure of the same note, thus simulating the precise
condition of the air volume inside the pipe as it is pressed.
The CM 100 also permits the "physical" editing of the sounds produced, by adjusting the parameters just
as the organ builder constructs the pipes. If however, "editing" is not your forte, you may choose your
sound from a library of 176 different pre-programmed pipe organ voices already in the module's
memory.
