Prestige Owner’s Guide
TRY THIS: Suppose you had an upper keyboard registration using several Flutes and Strings tabs in
combination with the Orchestral section button, PIANO. If you wanted just the Piano
sound for part of a song and not the Flutes and Strings, simply press the UPPER TABS tab
to silence the sounds, leaving only the Piano sound. Pressing the UPPER TABS tab again
would cause the Flutes and Strings tabs to be heard again.
BASS TABS
What It Does:
The orange BASS tabs turn the sounds on and off for the pedals.
How It Works:
When you turn the organ on or press the Reset button, the BASS 8 and BASS SUSTAIN tabs are on. Press any
of the tabs to turn them on or off, as desired.
The volume for the Bass section is controlled by the orange buttons in the
GRAPHIC MIXER section. Press
the top button to increases the volume. Press the bottom button to decrease the volume.
How To Use It:
Use these various tabs for the Bass sounds in your music.
BASS SUSTAIN: Bass Sustain makes the bass sound slowly fade away after a pedal is released. It is not a
sound. Turning the Bass Sustain tab off makes the pedals “duophonic” and allows the you
to play two pedals at the same time. The sustain length is adjustable and will be detailed
later in this section.
BASS 16: The lowest flute sound available. It provides a deep, rich bass sound.
BASS 8: Produces a flute tone one octave higher than Bass 16. Bass 16 and Bass 8 have a
DRAWBAR feature which will be shown at the end of this section.
ENSEMBLE BASS: Produces the beautiful bowed string bass section of an orchestra. A good choice alone or
in combination with the Bass 16 and 8 tabs.
DIAPHONE: Produces a heavy Theatre Organ bass sound, much like a Tuba sound.
PEDAL GENIUS: Produces a Guitar Bass sound unless another sound from the Genius Voice List (page
144) is assigned to the Pedal Genius tab. Pedal Genius greatly expands the number of
sounds available on the pedals, whether you play your own pedals or use the Easy button.
The organ also gives you the ability to independently BALANCE the volume of the
PEDAL GENIUS in relation to the other Bass tabs. This is similar to what was shown in
the DRUM VOLUME section about balancing volumes within a particular section.
For more options, see the section: Levels (Balance) on page 111.
NOTE: More detail about Bass Sustain and Pedal Genius will follow at the end of this section.
REMEMBER: USING A PRESET OR A RHYTHM STYLE WILL SELECT THE PEDAL SOUND FOR
YOU AUTOMATICALLY.
A TIP FROM LOWREY
You never need to play the pedals. Using the EASY button, AUTO BASS 1 & 2, or playing with a RHYTHM
STYLE will play the pedals for you. It is possible to assign different functions to the long and short pedals.
