DESCRIPTION
The typical feature of this instrument is a group of 4 preset tone colours families:
BRASS - STRINGS - REEDS – PIANO.
Each of these families consists of two voices which can be used separately or
simultaneously, engaging the respective tabs.
AII the other controls located on the panel, are there to modify the sound of the
engaged voices.
Engaging one of the families, automaticalIy, the relative "Ieds" will light up.
The red one indicates the family chosen and the green ones the controls, which
can be employed for modifying the sound.
EXAMPLE: Engaging the BRASS family and the Trumpet voice, we can modify
the tone colour by using only the controls Iightened, in order to obtain the bugle
effect.
Another important feature of the SIELORCHESTRA is the automatic cancelling of
the engaged family by simply depressing a new one. This possibility is also valid
tor families combination . In fact, when we are playing simultaneously the BRASS
and STRINGS (which we engaged by pressing the relative tabs at the same time),
and we want to pass to the only STRINGS effect, we simply have to press the
Strings preset tab cancelling automatically the BRASS.
As the SIELORCHESTRA is not provided with a built in amplifier, it must be
connected to an external amplifier by a Jack-Jack cable.
For this purpose, two outputs with different signal levels have been prepared.
The LOW output is provided tor connections to amplifiers, voice systems, etc.; the
HIGH output, on the contrary, is suggested tor direct connections to electronic
organs provided to receive a supplementary instrument.
The volume can be regulated independently trom the amplifier by a special swell
pedal.
Connecting the SIELORCHESTRA to an electronic organ SIEL, the volume will be
regulated by the organ's swell pedal; for balancing the sound levels,
it is
necessary to operate on the slider placed on the panel.
The SIELORCHESTRA is supplied with a switch pedal tor the sustain control of
the sounds; for the PIANO section, for example, it is possible to obtain the same
effect "pedal forte" of a traditional piano.
The SIELORCHESTRA is furthermore equipped with a continuous transposer for
tuning the keyboard with the electronic organ which is connected to or with the
group of instruments with which it must play.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
−Regulate the legs in one ot the two possible positions;
−Fix the music-stand at the back placing the fixings into the holes pravided for
and wheel them of approx. 90°;

outputs: LOW or HIGH
−Connect the sustain footswitch supplied with the set of equipment and, if
necessary, the optional swell pedal, utilizing the relative sockets placed on the
back panel;
−Insert the power plug after having controlled the mains voltage (220 V 50 Hz);
−Turn on the instrument by the main switch located on the back panel;
−Insert at least one preset and check that also one ot the relative voices is
