Orchestral & Solo
What It Does:
Going beyond what the presets will do, you can experiment for an almost unlimited amount of possibilities
for “just the right sound.” Remember, if you find a combination you like, save it to a BANK PRESET.
How It Works:
The definition of orchestral and solo sounds and how they differ is important.
Red-colored
ORCHESTRAL sounds are polyphonic. Polyphonic means you can play two or more notes at the
same time.
Blue-colored
SOLO sounds are monophonic. Monophonic means you can only play one note at a time.
When multiple notes are being played, the solo sound will always be heard on the highest note.
It is possible to play a solo sound as if it were polyphonic. Press the desired blue solo button. Be sure the
red-colored
UPPER ON button is on (lighted) while the blue-colored UPPER ON and LOWER LEFT buttons
are OFF (not lighted). Pressing the blue-colored UPPER ON button, turning it on, will make the selected solo
sound monophonic.
NOTE: The red-colored UPPER ON button is lighted after you turn the organ on or press the RESET button.
How To Use It:
Listen to the orchestral and solo sounds to find your favorites. These sounds are beautiful alone or in com-
bination with the organ sounds previously shown. Don’t forget about the hundreds of Genius voices that can
be used in this section.
