Prestige Owner’s Guide
PREVIEW: The buttons in the HARMONY section enhance Upper and Lower Right Keyboard (lower keyboard
to the right of the keyboard split) play by making a single note sound like you are playing many, in perfect
harmony. This is much like the EASY button, which enhances Lower Keyboard play by making one-finger
chords possible.
How It Works:
Each HARMONY button recognizes the left hand, Lower Keyboard chord being played (MCS or traditional)
and adds the appropriate harmony notes to the single note you are playing to create a specific type of
Harmony. Most of the time these additional notes are below the lowest note you are playing. Many of the
Presets on the Prestige utilize these Harmony features.
The numerous Harmony styles are divided into
UPPER and LOWER RIGHT Keyboard selections. You may
assign a Harmony style to the Upper Keyboard, the Lower Right Keyboard (to the right of the split point),
or to both. In addition to the
AOC, DUET, and 3 PART Harmony styles, pictured above, there are 12 more
Harmony styles possible with the MORE button. Pressing the MORE button displays the choices on the
TOUCH SCREEN, as illustrated on page 91.
Selecting any of the 15 Harmony styles will
NOT change the Upper or Lower Keyboard sounds selected. The
Upper Harmony style uses whatever sounds that are selected to create the additional Harmony notes. Lower
Right Keyboard Harmony is applied to Orchestral sounds playable to the right of the Lower Keyboard Split.
AOC
AOC is a Lowrey all-time favorite! AOC takes all the (left hand) notes you are playing on the Lower
Keyboard (MCS or Traditional) and adds them below the melody note you are playing on the Upper
Keyboard or Lower Keyboard -right of the Split point. The only notes that may be excluded are any that are
within a whole-step of the melody note being played on the Upper Keyboard.
DUET
DUET Harmony adds one more note to the melody note being played. Duet has a nice, light sound.
3 PART
3 PART Harmony adds two more notes to the Upper Keyboard melody note being played. This is known as
Open Harmony, which was a style of Harmony used by many Theatre Organists. Upper Flutes 16 & 4 sound
great with
3 PART.

What It Does:
Harmony is the act of playing two or more notes, at the
same time, to create a pleasant sound. The Prestige fea-
tures 15 different types of Harmony from which to choose.
Each Harmony type is playable with just one finger. The
organ plays all the other notes for you. The
HARMONY fea-
ture makes sounding good easy!
