8. All four Genius buttons: blue and red-colored GENIUS 1 and GENIUS 2 link to the sounds found on
the
GENIUS VOICE LIST on page 144.
The genius buttons are assigned sounds from the factory:
ORCHESTRAL GENIUS 1 French Horn SOLO GENIUS 1 Oboe
ORCHESTRAL GENIUS 2 Bells: Hand SOLO GENIUS 2 Whistle
How It Works:
The PORTAMENTO button will light whenever certain Solo sound buttons are pressed. You can select
Portamento for any Solo sound by simply pressing the button.
How To Use It:
When playing from one note to the next, hold the first note down while pressing the next note, then release
the first note. The sound will glide from the first note to the second. Use Portamento to add authenticity to
sounds like the Whistle, Violin, and Trombone. Portamento may sound odd with sounds like the Piano,
Chimes, and Marimba, because the actual instruments do not have that ability.
Even though the Portamento Time is preset, it can be changed. Just press the
KEYPAD button on the screen,
press a value between 0 and 100 and then press the PORTAMENTO button. It can glide up or down slowly (a
low value number) or quickly (a high value number), whichever you prefer.
Pressing the
RESET button or turning the organ off will return this feature to the factory setting.
For more details see
FEATURE PAGE 5 - PORTAMENTO TIME, page 125.
How It Works:
The gray-colored REPEAT button will light whenever certain Orchestral sound buttons are pressed. You can
select Repeat for any Orchestral sound by simply pressing the button.
How To Use It:
The Repeat feature adds authenticity to sounds like the Banjo, Mandolin, or Marimba. Repeat can also be
used as an interesting effect for other sounds. Press the Repeat button, turning it off, if you do not want the
feature.
The Repeat speed can be changed. Press the
KEYPAD screen button on the TOUCH SCREEN. Press the num-
ber(s) for the desired speed and then press the
REPEAT button.
The Repeat speed values range from 1 (very slow) to 100 (very fast).
The Repeat effect may be applied to Solo sounds. See
FEATURE PAGE 5 - REPEAT, on page 126.
Pressing the
RESET button or turning the organ off will return this feature to the factory setting.
REPEAT
What It Does:
The REPEAT feature adds an authentic repetition effect to certain Orchestral sounds, such
as Marimba and Banjo.
PORTAMENTO
What It Does:
PORTAMENTO creates a smooth, uninterrupted gliding effect from one note to another,
when using a Solo sound. An example of Portamento would be a slide trombone player
sliding from one note to another.
