Expression
Pedal
The expression pedal regulates the loudness of ALL the
organ voices, regardless of how individual volume controls
may be set.
Pushing down with your toe makes the organ louder; pushing
down with your heel makes the tone softer.
The “halfway down” position of the pedal represents the
medium volume range — this is always a good starting point
if dynamic marks don't appear in the music.
Reverb, is an abbreviation for reverberation. If you’ve walked
down a narrow, uncarpeted hallway, you may recall that your
footsteps “echoed”, or became louder than usual. This was
due to the sound waves bouncing from the walls and ceiling
instead of being absorbed into the carpeting, furniture and
draperies. Because the furnishings in most rooms usually
absorb all the echo, your Technics organ is equipped with
reverb to electronically replace the echo which is lost.
Reverb is effective with most general settings.
When this button is not used, the response of the upper tab
voices is instant — press a key and you will hear a musical
tone immediately. Press the slow attack button, however, and
you'll notice a slight hesitation between the time you press
the key and the time you hear the tone. This effect is
especially useful for imitating instruments that have a natural
slow attack such as the accordion, harmonica, or the pipe
organ.
