Lowrey Prestige - Rhythm Presets

12
Prestige Owner’s Guide
For convenience, RHYTHM PLUS ORCHESTRATION styles (BIG BAND- COUNTRY- WALTZ, etc.) will be
referred to as RHYTHM STYLES throughout the remainder of this guide.
What It Does:
NORMAL RHYTHM PRESETS are of the type normally found on Lowrey organs. These types of presets draw
upon the wide variety of organ and instrumental sounds featured on the organ. There are a total of 11 Normal
Rhythm Presets for each of the 216 Rhythm Styles.
ORGAN RHYTHM PRESETS are rhythm presets that are created using the wide variety of organ sounds fea-
tured in the Prestige. There are a total of 11 Organ Rhythm Presets for each of the 216 Rhythm Styles.
How It Works:
The two RHYTHM PRESET buttons are directly to the left of the ten GENERAL PRESETS buttons. Each time
you turn on the organ or after pressing the RESET button, the purple NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button is
illuminated yellow. Pressing the
ORGAN RHYTHM PRESET button at this point will cause it to be illuminat-
ed yellow while the NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button will turn off. Yellow indicates the feature is “stand-
ing-by.”
Both
RHYTHM PRESET buttons perform two functions:
1. Provides a registration for the upper keyboard melody to complement any Rhythm Style chosen.
With the
NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button illuminated yellow (stand-by) pressing any RHYTHM STYLE
button causes the button to be illuminated red (red indicates the feature is Ready to go) and creates an
appropriate registration for the upper keyboard. You never have to press another button in order to play.
After you have pressed a
RHYTHM STYLE button, and the NORMAL RHYTHM PRESET button is
illuminated red, pressing the white ORGAN RHYTHM PRESET button causes it to become illuminated red
while the Normal Rhythm Preset button shuts off.
Only one of the Rhythm Preset buttons (Normal or Organ) may be used at one time.
2. T
urns each of the GENERAL PRESET buttons into a different Rhythm Preset.
With any
RHYTHM STYLE button selected and the RHYTHM PRESET button illuminated red, the 10
GENERAL PRESET buttons provide 10 more dynamic Rhythm Presets for each Rhythm Style.
How To Use It:
RHYTHM PRESETS work only when a blue Rhythm Style has been selected. Should you desire to press your
own buttons and tabs, press the purple
RHYTHM PRESET button off (not illuminated).
