SELECTING AND REGULATING THE VOICES
(VOICING menu)
One of the main features of the Cantorum Trio – Duo Plus synthesis technology is that it offers the user a wide
array of options for customising the instrument with a very large number of organ
timbres, and also makes available several parameters which can be adjusted to
further increase the setup potential.
The VOICING menu contains all the functions for selecting and regulating the
voices’ audio parameters. To access to this menu, in the main video page,
1. press the [MENU/ENTER] button,
2. place the cursor on the VOICING field,
3. press [MENU/ENTER] or hold down for a few moments the tab (in the ON
position) of stop you wish to edit.
Once you have entered the VOICING video page, you can select other stops to edit, using the tab in the same
way explained above, or by pressing the [ ] button to place the cursor on the top field, showing the name of the
register, and using the [+] and [-] buttons. The Led of the stop being modified will flash to prevent modification
errors; the stop will be on and can be played for better, quicker adjustment. Other stops can also be switched on
to assess the overall effect of the changes.
The SELECT VOICE field allow you to access to the list of alternative voices. In
this list the currently selected voice is indicated by the symbol. When the [ ]
and [ ] buttons are used to move the cursor to other voices, the symbol will
be moved as soon as the new voice can be played to be evaluated immediately.
Other stops can also be switched on to assess the overall effect of the changes.
Press [MENU/ENTER] to confirm the new voice and make it usable, press [EXIT]
to avoid the change and reselect the previous voice.
In the VOICING video page, below the SELECT VOICE field, are displayed the
main sound generation parameters of the selected stop. The parameters displayed are not the same for every
voice, since some families have specific setting parameters not required for other types of voice.
The settings which can be made are:

NOTES
-
The voices selected for each stop and the sound generation parameters are automatically saved in the
current Pipe Set. This means that when another Pipe Set is recalled, the voices will be reset with new
parameters taken from the last Pipe Set recalled. The changes made earlier are not lost, and will be
made available when the style in which they were made is selected again.
-
While adjusting the VOICING parameters, in order to assign a voice to a stop and to adjust it, we advice
to select the desired voice first and then to adjust its generation parameters. Please do so, as when a
new voice is selected, its parameters are reset to default values.
