THE
BASS COUPLER
This feature's name is derived from the ancient term "Basso Continuo," meaning thoroughbass.
When this piston is pressed, it will light. Any stops
or
couplers on in the Pedal Division will sound
from the lowest key being played on the Great manual. This provides a pedal bass without having to
actually play the pedalboard with the feet.
In
its normal setting, the Bass Coupler affects keys 1 through 24
of
the Great manual, but its
range is programmable.
• How
To
Set The Range
Of
The Bass Coupler:
1.
Hold SET and press the BASS piston which will start flashing.
2. Release the SET piston and BASS piston.
3.
While the BASS piston is flashing, press a key which corresponds to the highest note
the range is to extend. Any note from key 1 to key
61
may be selected. Keys above
36 will play external MIDI devices but will not play the Pedal stops. After the select-
ed key has been pressed, the BASS piston will stop flashing.
Note: When a key is pressed to set the range, no sound will be heard even
if
stops are
on, so no disturbance will be made
if
programming during'a performance.
