Orchestral & Solo
KEYBOARD SPLIT
What It Does:
It turns your Prestige into a three keyboard instrument. The larger church and theatre organs have at least
three keyboards. This gives the player the ability to have three contrasting sounds on each keyboard for
quick and easy registration changes. The organist would simply go from one keyboard to another.
How It Works:
KEYBOARD SPLIT is activated when certain buttons in the Orchestral and Solo section are turned on. The
lower keyboard splits into two separate keyboards. The keys on the left side of the split point are for play-
ing the usual Lower Keyboard/Left Hand chords. The keys on the right side of the split point are now able
to be used like the Upper Keyboard/Right Hand melody. The Keyboard Split is normally at the third F# key.
How To Use It:
It allows you to use your right hand on the lower keyboard to play a melody. Now you can have one sound
on the top keyboard and a contrasting sound on the lower keyboard for fast and easy registration changes.
Using the Presets, many times, activates this feature for your convenience and ease of operation.
Pressing the
RESET button or turning the organ off will return this feature to the factory “Power-Up” setting.
Your customized setting can be saved into a
BANK PRESET.

The group of buttons to the right include those that will activate
this
KEYBOARD SPLIT feature and determine which sounds are
played to the right of the Split Point. Some of the Rhythm
Presets activate these buttons in different combinations.
The red
LOWER RIGHT button in the Orchestral section, and the
blue
LOWER RIGHT button in the Solo section, activate the
KEYBOARD SPLIT feature.
What It Does:
These six red and blue buttons control from which keyboard(s)
the Orchestral and Solo sounds are played. They also determine
if a Solo sound is played as an Orchestral or polyphonic sound.
Remember, Polyphonic means you can play two or more notes
at the same time.
