2. Organ Voices
Your Model KX330/KX430 electronic organ features a full range of organ voices
which allow you to freely and individually modify the sound produced by each
of the keyboards (upper, lower) and pedal.
1) Upper keyboard
Controlling the sound from the upper keyboard are four sections (UPPER
FLUTE, UPPER ORCHESTRA, PRESET INSTRUMENT, and SYNTHE-
S!ZER) which can be used separately or in combination.
UPPER FLUTE and UPPER ORCHESTRA
® The volume of the output from these two sections is controlled with the
TOTAL VOLUME slider.

@ Voices may also be combined.
@ At this point, you may try other voice buttons (or combinations thereof)
and judge the effects for yourself.
Press the ORCHESTRA ENSEMBLE button.
Pressing this button changes the sounds produced by the UPPER ORCHES-
TRA section to an ensemble.
Try the SUSTAIN effect.
Relieving the pressure on a key usually cuts off the sound immediately, but
adding SUSTAIN provides a more natural lingering effect.
® In order of increasing length, there are three types of SUSTAIN possible:
I, I, and I + I. {This applies to the SUSTAIN controls in the LOWER
FLUTE, LOWER ORCHESTRA, PRESET INSTRUMENT, and PEDAL
sections as well.)

Add the various effects.
_ SOLO: Activating this button blocks the output from the UPPER FLUTE
and UPPER ORCHESTRA sections so that only the sound of the piano,
harpsichord, or other selected instrument comes through (hence the name
“solo). When used in conjunction with the TO LOWER button, it has the
same effect on the LOWER FLUTE and LOWER ORCHESTRA sections as
well,
TO LOWER: Activating this button transfers the PRESET INSTRUMENT
setting from the upper keyboard to the lower.
DECAY: Activating this button yields a crisper, sharper tone — but only for
certain instrument voices:
