Prestige Owner’s Guide
LEFT FOOT SWITCH
The LEFT FOOT SWITCH is factory preset to activate the GLIDE/SUSTAIN effect on Orchestral and Solo
sounds. Glide or Sustain is selected depending on the sound being played. For example, the LEFT FOOT
SWITCH
will add Sustain to the Piano sound and will Glide the Hawaiian Guitar sound.
The factory setting for the Glide function is one-half step. Using the Glide lowers the pitch of the note a half
step. Releasing the switch glides the sound back up to the original pitch. The Prestige has the capability of
selecting different glide lengths. For example, the glide could be changed from a half step to an entire
octave.
For glide options see
FEATURE PAGE 5 - GLIDE SETTINGS on page 124.
RIGHT FOOT SWITCH
The RIGHT FOOT SWITCH is factory preset to activate the FX/GOLDEN HARP feature. It activates a brief fill-
in when a Rhythm Style is playing. If the Golden Harp is playing, pressing the Right Foot Switch silences
the Golden Harp until the switch is released.
Pressing the Right Foot Switch while a Rhythm Style and Golden Harp are playing, at the same time, caus-
es the Golden Harp to be silenced and adds the FX to the Rhythm Style. When the FX is finished the Golden
Harp begins playing and the Rhythm Style returns to normal play.
How To Use It:
Pressing the LEFT FOOT SWITCH adds authenticity to sounds. The RIGHT FOOT SWITCH adds the FX effect
to a Rhythm Style without having to take your hands off the keys.
Both foot switches are capable of having 18 other functions assigned to them. An additional feature called
Next Preset can also be assigned to either of the Foot Switches. This allows you to change from one Preset
to the next without having to lift your hands from the keyboard. See
NEXT PRESET on page 128.

What It Does:
The FOOT SWITCHES activate specific features that affect certain
operations on the organ.
How It Works:
There are two foot operated switches; one at the top left and one
at the top right sides of the VOLUME PEDAL. These switches are
activated by sliding the side of your foot, using your heel as a
pivot point, to the left or right, to press either switch.
