PEDALS
The pedal bass has three additive voices -- 16' and 8' drawbar tones and
BASS GUITAR. In the normal playing mode pedals will perform polyphonically.
The pedals will have priority over AUTOCHORD or BASS WALK modes of automatic
pedal playing. For example, if the player is in the BASS WALK mode and de-
sires to inject his own bass pattern or legato pedal, he may simply play pedals
in the normal manner.
The automatic bass line will be cancelled and the pedals will sound with the
voices set up on the drawbars or tabs. On release of the pedal the automatic
bass will again sound at the start of the next programmed bass note as deter-
mined by the Rhythm Unit tempo.
STRING ENSEMBLE
The Model 340100 has a full complement of string voices. The controls are
mounted in the upper right-hand endblock. The string voices consist of three
pitches (16', 8', and 4') on the upper manual and three pitches (16',8' and
4') on the lower. Independent controls for string ATTACK, SUSTAIN, and VOLUME
are provided for each manual. Separate rocker tab controls have been provided
to turn SUSTAIN "on". This allows the player to preset the amount of this
effect. The SUSTAIN controls on this endblock also control the degree of sus-
tain on other voices as noted earlier under priorities. The BRILLIANCE tab
will effect the strings.
In order to achieve optimum performance of the String Ensemble group, three
channel acoustic mix is used.
SYNTHESIZER VOICES
The 340 incorporates the identical Melody Maker performance used in the 333
organ. The controls are mounted in the lower right-hand endblock on the 340.
EASE OF PLAY
The 340 utilizes the chord recognition capability of the 434/435 LSI to good
advantage. This performance includes true root/fifth AUTOCHORD, ONE-FINGER
CHORDS, programmed BASS WALK, and electronic MEMORY on the lower manual. In
addition, visual keyboard memory is provided by NOTE-A-CHORD.
AUTOMATIC ARPEGGIATOR
The 340 incorporates the FASCINATING FINGERS performance used in the 333 organ.
The controls and their location are also similar to the 333.
ANIMATION
The 340 incorporates a two speed Leslie Rotosonic unit. The organ also pro-
vides for manual separation so that upper and lower manuals may be indepen-
dently animated by the Leslie.
The percussion divisions, synthesizer instruments, pedals and rhythm voices
are channeled only through the main amplifier so that they will always be
"dry" with respect to Leslie animation.
