1Using This Guide
USING THIS GUIDE
This Owner’s Guide fully details the performance features of your Prestige Organ.
The Guide begins with a description of several features that you will want to use right away. The Guide
then outlines all of the PRESET FEATURES: GENERAL PRESETS, RHYTHM PRESETS, CATEGORY PRESETS,
and BANK PRESETS. Using the Presets is the easiest, quickest way to get started. Following the introducto-
ry Preset section, the Guide goes into detail about the rest of the organ.
All of the lists and tables of information, such as GENIUS VOICES, SOUND EFFECTS, DRUMS, RHYTHM STYLES,
are placed in the back of the guide for quick and easy reference. A convenient FEATURE INDEX is located in
the back of the book, to make finding information easier.
Many of the features of the Prestige Organ are interconnected. Therefore, you may benefit from starting at the
beginning and proceeding through the book, rather than jumping from section to section. The goal of this
Guide is to help you fully enjoy the Prestige Organ and have an understanding of all the features you desire to
use.
Be sure to try the examples given throughout the book. These examples will provide
you with a hands-on explanation of a particular feature. You will frequently be
instructed to press the RESET button before continuing on with an example.
This button is located to the left of the lower keyboard. Pressing the
RESET button simply returns the organ to the factory original
setting, which is used as a starting point for the examples
given. Wait a few seconds after pressing this but-
ton. Everyday playing does NOT require fre-
quent use of the RESET button.
Q: WHAT ARE THE RIGHT SOUNDS TO USE FOR A SONG?
A: THE SOUNDS YOU LIKE BEST!
The Prestige is designed to appeal to as many musical tastes and preferences as possible. The capabilities of
this instrument are seemingly limitless. You will have your preferences and consequently will not be using
those capabilities that are of no interest to you. This is perfectly normal. Be assured from Lowrey that when
you are using your favorite PRESETS, you will be enjoying what this instrument has to offer.

Prestige Owner’s Guide
A TIP FROM LOWREY:
The VOLUME PEDAL controls the “overall” volume level of the organ. The volume level of specific sections
is controlled by the individual volume level controls found on the panel and in the GRAPHIC MIXER section
of the organ. If the overall maximum volume level of the organ is too loud, use the MASTER buttons in the
GRAPHIC MIXER to adjust the volume to your liking.
6. COLOR TOUCH SCREEN
Look at the big screen in the center of the button panel. This is the COLOR TOUCH SCREEN. When you turn
the organ on, the Prestige screen, below left, evolves during startup. When the organ is fully powered and
is ready to be played the POWER UP SCREEN, below right, appears.
The COLOR TOUCH SCREEN is Touch-Sensitive and is your primary entry point for much of what this
instrument is capable of doing the POWER UP SCREEN gives you some basic information:
TEMPO: The numbers under the word TEMPO will indicate the tempo (speed) when a Rhythm Style (Big
Band, Country, Waltz, etc) is being used.
CHORD: The letter under the word CHORD indicates the Lower Keyboard chord being played. The bass
pedal, if being played, is displayed to the right of the chord display, preceded by a slash (C / Eb).
TRANSPOSE: The letter under the word TRANSPOSE indicates the key that the instrument is set to. In addi-
tion, you will see pictures of buttons with these labels: Song Setup, Genius, USB, Style List, and Keypad.
This is the “Power-Up” screen.
DISPLAY CONTRAST
There is a DISPLAY CONTRAST dial located just to the right of
the screen. Turn the dial to adjust the screen to a setting that is

Detailed usage of the Color Touch Screen is found in each section of the manual as it applies to specific
features.
COLOR TOUCH SCREEN THEMES
There are three screen themes from which you may choose for the COLOR TOUCH SCREEN. The theme you
select will appear in all screens you utilize. Here is how to select from among the different screen themes:
1. Press the FEATURE/CLEAR button, located to the right of the COLOR TOUCH SCREEN.
2. Press either SCROLL button until FEATURE PAGE 11 appears. The title of the page appears at the top of
the screen.
3. Touch the box containing the word SCREEN. The SCREEN/VIDEO feature page will appear.
4. Touch the box on the screen, next to the word THEME. The box will become highlighted.
5. Press either SCROLL button to display a different THEME name. When the theme you desire appears in
the box, simply press the FEATURE/CLEAR button. The THEME you select will be applied
to all screens displayed in the COLOR TOUCH SCREEN.
CHERRY THEME OAK THEME
The THEME preset for your Prestige matches the finish color of the cabinet. If you purchased an Oak finish,
then the Oak Theme will be the preset theme. The Cherry theme is preset if you purchased a cherry finished
cabinet. The oak theme is not available in the cherry finished prestige, and the cherry theme is not available
in the oak finished unit.
SHEET MUSIC THEME SKY THEME
SCREEN CARE AND CLEANING
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not spray any type of liquid on the Touch Screen. To
clean the screen use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid allowing any
liquid to run to the edge of the screen.
Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects, such as a pencil point or pen tip. Use
your fingertip when making selections on the screen.

8. THE EASY BUTTON
Like all Lowrey organs, there are two ways of playing the Prestige:
TRADITIONAL
No “Easy-Play” features. You are free to use your hands on the keyboards and your feet on the pedals as you
wish. For example, playing one note on the lower keyboard gives you exactly that: one note! You can use
the GENERAL PRESETS, CATEGORY PRESETS and BANK PRESETS for many, many more sounds.
EASY-PLAY
Press the EASY button. This button will light up as well as several others (AUTO BASS 1, MCS & MEMORY).
The EASY button makes one finger in the left hand on the lower keyboard sound like you are using all your
fingers, plus your feet on the bass pedals. It makes one finger sound like a full three note chord and plays
the appropriate bass note. You can also use the GENERAL PRESETS, CATEGORY PRESETS and BANK PRE-
SETS for many, many more sounds just like above. No Rhythm Styles are being used at this point.
8. MONITOR SPEAKERS
The Prestige has two full range/high range combination monitor speakers and two tweeter speakers
mounted high in the cabinet to project sound for the seated player’s benefit. The player can adjust the
volume of the monitor speakers to suit their own taste.
On the right side of the lower keyboard is a volume knob labeled HEADPHONE + MONITOR which controls
the volume of the monitor speakers. As you are playing, turn the HEADPHONE + MONITOR volume knob to
set the level that sounds best to you.
9. HEADPHONES OUTPUT
The same HEADPHONE + MONITOR volume knob that controls the volume of the monitor speakers also con-
trols the headphone volume, when headphones are plugged into the headphone jack. You can plug in a set of
stereo headphones into the headphone OUTPUT jack so you can play in private. When headphones are
plugged into the headphone jack the organ speaker system is muted.
NOTE: The AUTO BASS 1, MCS and MEMORY buttons are described in more detail in the
RHYTHM PLUS ORCHESTRATION SECTION.

CONTRAST
There is a PANEL LIGHTS dial located above the Rhythm Plus Orchestration
section of buttons. After the Prestige is fully powered, you may adjust the
intensity of the panel lights by turning the Panel Lights control knob.

7Let’s Get Started!
IMPORTANT: Before plugging headphones (stereo only) into the headphone OUTPUT jack, be sure the vol-
ume knob labeled HEADPHONE + MONITOR and the EXPRESSION PEDAL are set to minimum volume. Turn
the knob to the left until it stops. Place the expression pedal in the toe side up, heel side down position. After
plugging the headphones in and placing them on your ears, hold a note or play a rhythm style, and slowly
increase the volume to a comfortable level.
10. MICROPHONE INPUT
You can plug a microphone into the microphone INPUT jack and use the organ speaker system to amplify
your voice. The MICROPHONE volume knob, located next to the HEADPHONE + MONITOR volume knob, can
be used to adjust the volume level of the microphone.
IMPORTANT:Before plugging a microphone into the microphone INPUT jack, be sure that the volume
knob labeled VOLUME and the EXPRESSION PEDAL are set to minimum volume. After plugging the micro-
phone in, speak directly into it and slowly increase the volume to a comfortable level.
The REVERB switch is located in the far right corner of the right end block (the same section with the
HEADPHONE + MONITOR and MICROPHONE volume knobs). The REVERB switch is labeled with a plus (+)
and minus (-) sign. Set the switch to the plus (+) side to have the organ reverb effect applied to the micro-
phone output. You may wish to adjust the reverb level, in the GRAPHIC MIXER section, to a level that sounds
best to you. Set the switch to the minus (-) side to have the microphone output reduce the reverb effect,
adding slight reverb to the microphone output.

sion.

Prestige Owner’s Guide
PREVIEW: The Presets section demonstrates the ease of operation and how to sound good right away using
the numerous preset features found on the Prestige. The type of Preset active at any one time: General Preset,
Rhythm Preset, Bank Preset, Category Preset, will be displayed in the screen, as illustrated below.
What It Does:
The word PRESET means that a group of sounds, volume settings and effects come on with the touch of a
single button. Each preset button sets up a different sound or registration. Different songs call for different
registrations.
How It Works:
There are ten numbered buttons in the middle of the organ just above the upper keyboard. Pressing any one
of these GENERAL PRESET buttons will cancel the existing sound and will instantly create a different musi-
cal sound. The preset button will light up, indicating it is on. The 11 GENERAL PRESETS are factory pro-
grammed and can not be changed.
How To Use It:
Simply press a GENERAL PRESET button. The sounds you hear are described below, with the sound assigned
to the right side of the lower keyboard in Italics.

11 Presets
As you can see and hear, using a GENERAL PRESET gives you a quick and easy way to access a wide vari-
ety of unique and exciting registrations without pressing numerous buttons.
In addition to setting up various sounds, the GENERAL PRESETS will also change appropriate volume set-
tings as well as changing non-sound buttons such as Vibra-Trem, Chorus and Celeste buttons, sustain, etc.
TRY THIS: Try the following steps to see how the GENERAL PRESET buttons work.
1. Open your black Lowrey Songbook to page 6 Amazing Grace, or to page 20 Whispering Hope.
2. Press the
RESET button.
3. When the POWER UP screen appears press the EASY button, turning it on.
4. With your left hand on the lower keyboard and your right hand on the upper keyboard, play through
the song several times using GENERAL PRESETS 0 through 8.
Remember that when using the EASY button, you can play single-fingered or multi-fingered chords
and the organ will automatically add the bass (pedal) note.
Let the RED, BLUE and GREEN lights on the lower keyboard and the colored stripes on the music guide your
left hand. Pick your favorite GENERAL PRESET sounds.
If you are using the EASY button with the GENERAL PRESETS, you will notice the organ continues playing
the last left hand chord played - even though your hands are off the keys. This is the MEMORY feature (shown
later). MEMORYgives you time to get ready for the next chord change or to turn the pages of your music.
Simply press the lighted EASY button to turn this feature off. Press the EASY button again (turning it back
on) for the next song if you are continuing on.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 as above. This time try When The Saints Go Marching In (Pg. 12) with GENER-
AL PRESET 9. Try Release Me (Pg. 16) with GENERAL PRESET 10.
Try the various GENERAL PRESETS with your favorite songs. You will find that not every preset is appro-
priate for every song.
PLAYING TIP: Anytime you are using a GENERAL PRESET (or any preset for that matter), you can
make any change you wish. For example, you may wish to adjust volume levels (Graphic Mixer) or
select different sounds (Orchestral, Solo, or Tabs). When NOT using a preset, you will need to select
all the sounds and effects, and set the volume levels.
WHAT IS PRESET 0?
There are 10 GENERAL PRESET buttons and
11 GENERAL PRESETS, as listed to the left.
General preset 0 is the power up sound. Just
turning the Prestige on gives you that ‘Sweet
Lowrey Sound.’
The same is true, as you will see, for the
Bank, Category, and Rhythm Presets. For
example, pressing the COUNTRY CATEGORY
PRESET button activates COUNTRY
CATEGORY PRESET 0, a complete preset
sound. Pressing preset buttons 1-10 gives
you 10 more Country Preset sounds.

Prestige Owner’s Guide
For convenience, RHYTHM PLUS ORCHESTRATION styles (BIG BAND- COUNTRY- WALTZ, etc.) will be
referred to as RHYTHM STYLES throughout the remainder of this guide.
What It Does:
NORMAL RHYTHM PRESETS are of the type normally found on Lowrey organs. These types of presets draw
upon the wide variety of organ and instrumental sounds featured on the organ. There are a total of 11 Normal
Rhythm Presets for each of the 216 Rhythm Styles.
ORGAN RHYTHM PRESETS are rhythm presets that are created using the wide variety of organ sounds fea-
tured in the Prestige. There are a total of 11 Organ Rhythm Presets for each of the 216 Rhythm Styles.
How It Works:
The two RHYTHM PRESET buttons are directly to the left of the ten GENERAL PRESETS buttons. Each time
you turn on the organ or after pressing the RESET button, the purple NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button is
illuminated yellow. Pressing the ORGAN RHYTHM PRESET button at this point will cause it to be illuminat-
ed yellow while the NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button will turn off. Yellow indicates the feature is “stand-
ing-by.”
Both RHYTHM PRESET buttons perform two functions:
1. Provides a registration for the upper keyboard melody to complement any Rhythm Style chosen.
With the NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button illuminated yellow (stand-by) pressing any RHYTHM STYLE
button causes the button to be illuminated red (red indicates the feature is Ready to go) and creates an
appropriate registration for the upper keyboard. You never have to press another button in order to play.
After you have pressed a RHYTHM STYLE button, and the NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button is
illuminated red, pressing the white ORGAN RHYTHM PRESET button causes it to become illuminated red
while the Normal Rhythm Preset button shuts off.
Only one of the Rhythm Preset buttons (Normal or Organ) may be used at one time.
2. Turns each of the GENERAL PRESET buttons into a different Rhythm Preset.
With any RHYTHM STYLE button selected and the RHYTHM PRESET button illuminated red, the 10
GENERAL PRESET buttons provide 10 more dynamic Rhythm Presets for each Rhythm Style.
How To Use It:
RHYTHM PRESETS work only when a blue Rhythm Style has been selected. Should you desire to press your
own buttons and tabs, press the purple RHYTHM PRESET button off (not illuminated).
ORGAN
NORMAL
RHYTHM PRESETS
ARHYTHM PRESET provides a complete registration (sounds, volumes,
effects, etc.) on the upper keyboard for each of the PRESTIGE’S 216 RHYTHM
STYLES styles.
There are two different types of Rhythm Presets on the Prestige: NORMAL and
ORGAN.
