INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of electronic musical instruments. Your instrument has been designed and
manufactured using the latest technology and computerized systems, to offer you years of trouble free
pleasure.
GETTING STARTED
When your instrument is first switch on it will default to an organ sound. To play as an organ no
controls at all have to be selected. You simply are able to sit and play.
To enable ease of use from the beginning there are many automatic registrations and sounds built into
the instrument to enable either the beginner or professional player to obtain many sounds immediately.

OVERALL PRESETS.

The Automatic Organ and Overall Presets are primarily set up to be played in the traditional manner
using bass pedals. However they can be used in conjunction with the Automatic Set Up in which case
bass pedals need not be played.
AUTOMATIC SET UP
This function sets up a registration for each style that is selected. There are 90 different styles built into
the instrument and they are selected using the 16 buttons located in the centre of the control panel to the
lower left hand side of the screen.
They are used in conjunction with the three Style Bank buttons that are situated to the lower left hand
side of the style buttons.
To select the 90 different styles using only 16 buttons the following system of operation is necessary.
If the first left hand button labeled WALTZ is selected and Style Bank A is selected the screen will
show that the STDWALTZ is selected.
If Style Bank A is changed to Style Bank B by depressing the button the rhythm will change to a Slow
Waltz and the screen will change to SL_WALTZ.
If Style Bank B is changed to Style Bank C by depressing the button the rhythm will change to a
Viennese Waltz and the screen will change to VIENNESE.
There are therefore 3 styles on each button.

6
Should 2 buttons be depressed at the same time, for example the SWING and STANDARD button then
the style written across the top of the two buttons will be selected and both of the LED’s will be
illuminated.
In this case in Style Bank A, a FOX TROT will be selected. In Style Bank B a SING SONG FOX
TROT . In Style Bank C a BARNDANCE.

To set up a factory registration for each style on the instrument the Automatic Set Up button has to be
switched on.
This is on the control panel to the bottom left hand side of the Style Bank buttons.
The Automatic Set Up will select a complete registration for the entire instrument based on the style
that was selected. Auto Bass and Auto Chord are selected and also an Introduction plus sounds for the
Upper and Lower keyboards.
As soon as a chord is played on the lower keyboard an introduction will be played in the key based on
the chord played:
E.g. C chord key of C.
F chord key of F
Etc.
When the Automatic Set Up is selected the sounds that are being used are indicated by being
illuminated in the Upper Conductor section. Any sections that are not illuminated are also set up with
suitable sounds which can be used instead of, or as well as the sound originally selected simply by
switching on the relevant Conductor button.
The Automatic Set Up will remain On until switched Off. Therefore if a style is changed whilst playing
and the Automatic Set Up is on both the sound and tempo are likely to be changed. It is possible to
change the style while playing in the following way:
- Select the first style required.
- Switch On the Automatic Set Up
- Switch Off the Automatic Set Up
- Commence playing
- Change the style. The tempo and sounds will now remain the same.
It is also possible to use the Automatic Set Up in conjunction with the Overall Presets.
To do so follow the following procedure:
- Select the style required
- Switch On Automatic Set Up
- Switch Off Automatic Set Up
- Switch On the Lock button located to the right hand side of the Overall Presets.
- Commence playing. The registration selected by the Automatic Set Up still remains.
- Select an Overall Preset from any of the 16 available. The Upper keyboard registration will
change. However the accompaniments and Lower keyboard sounds will remain the same.
It is therefore possible in this way to combine the Automatic Set Up registrations with the 96 Automatic
Organ registrations plus any registrations that may be in the Overall Presets.
The automatic set up is normally registered for people who play with their own chords and with
Autobass.
To play with single finger chords change the MFC button at the top left side of the screen to the OFC
button.
To play with Bass pedals switch off the Autobass button.

BASIC FEATURES
CONDUCTOR
The Conductor enables different sections of sounds to be selected on the two keyboards. It is located at
the bottom of the control panel underneath the screen. The black buttons switch on the sounds for the
Upper keyboard. The gray buttons for the Lower keyboard.
If no Upper Conductor buttons are selected no LED’s above the black buttons will be illuminated and
there will be no sound on the upper keyboard.
There are 3 sections of sound solely allocated to the Upper keyboard:
- Upper Orchestra 1
- Upper Orchestra 2
- Upper Flutes
If Upper Orchestra 1 is selected on its own in the Upper Conductor section the sound that will be
selected will be the sound that is illuminated in the Upper Orchestra 1 section which is situated directly
above the Overall Presets section.
Like the Style section, there are more sounds than there are buttons.
To select a voice, STRINGS for example, press the button of the desired sound. The LED will confirm
your choice
To select the voice indicated between two LED’s, JAZZ ORGAN for example, press the two buttons
related to the LED’s.

9
The name of the selected sound will be also shown briefly on the display. There are 2 sounds on each
button. The second sound is selected by switching On the User button, which is set at the factory to
provide an alternative sound to that indicated on the button. The User sound can be altered. See later in
the manual.
Upper Orchestra 2 can be selected by switching On the Upper Orchestra 2 button in the Conductor
section. If Upper Orchestra 1 and Upper Orchestra 2 are both illuminated then the sounds in both
sections will sound simultaneously when played.
If Upper Orchestra 1 is switched Off in the Conductor then the sound of Upper Orchestra 2 will remain
on its own. The sound of Upper Orchestra 1 will not be heard even though the selected sound remains
illuminated in the section. This indicates the sound that is selected in Orchestra 1, which will activate
only when the Orchestra 1 Conductor button is switched On.
The sounds in Upper Orchestra 2 are selected in the same way as in Upper Orchestra 1. Unlike upper
Orchestra 1 which is permanently in a Poly mode (more than one note can be played simultaneously)
Orchestra 2 can also be used in a Mono mode (only one note can be played at the time).
Both sections have an Octave switch, which in the factory settings usually takes the sound on the Upper
keyboard down 1 octave. This can be altered. See relevant section later in the manual.
There is also a Sustain switch which when selected will make the sound carry on and gradually
decrease after the note is released, in the factory settings the amount of sustain is set to be suitable for
each instrument. The sustain time can be altered. See relevant section later in the manual.
Each section also has a Chorus button. This when selected provides a third dimension to the sound.
This can be changed. See relevant section later in the manual.
Upper Orchestra 2 also has a Portamento button. This only works when Orchestra 2 is set in Mono
mode. When selected if the notes are played in a legato fashion they will slide from one note to another.
If played in a staccato fashion there is no Portamento effect. This technique requires considerable
practice to perfect.
The Special section is different to all of the other sections in as much as it is not dedicated to a
particular keyboard. If it is selected in the Upper Conductor it becomes a third section for the Upper
keyboard. If selected in the Lower Conductor it becomes a second section for the Lower keyboard.
