TUNING THE INSTRUMENT (TUNING menu)
The TUNING menu gives access to all the
instrument’s tuning parameters.
To access to this menu, in the main video page,
1. press the [MENU/ENTER] button,
2. place the cursor on the TUNING field and
press [MENU/ENTER].
General instrument transposition by semitones.
Settings: -6 to +5
NOTES
- When switched on, the organ’s transposition is always set at 0.
- Transposition does not have any effect on playback of pieces with the internal sequencer
(unlike recording, where the notes are acquired with the current transposition). A specific
transposer is provided for this purpose (see page 18)
General fine tuning, indicated as the frequency of A4 (based on a 8’ pitch stop).
Settings: 415,3 Hz (-100 cents) to 466,16 Hz (+100 cents)
[third field on the
display]
(“Equal” in the screen
shown above)
Selector for setting historical temperaments of various periods and countries of origin.
Settings: Equal, Kirnberger II, Werckmeister III, Pythagorean, Meanton 3#, Vallotti, Chaumont,
Kellner 1975, Kirnberger III, Werckmeister IV, Werckmeister V, Silbermann, Meantone 3b,
Meantone 3m pure, Zarlino, Sauver 1, Sauver 2,Barca, Neidhardt II, Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom
3, Custom 4
NOTE
Custom temperaments are programmable. See below.
Key on which the chain of 12 fifths that make up the temperament starts.
Settings: C to B
Press [MAIN/ENTER] to access to the setting parameters of each tremulant.
Settings: see Reference Manual
Level of tiny natural differences in pitch between one organ pipe and another, simulating the
tuning error that occurs in the organ’s pipes due to wear over time and variations in temperature.
Settings: 0 (pipes perfectly tuned) to 8 (maximum pitch instability)
Simulates the drop in air pressure when a large quantity of air is requested in a short time (e.g.
when large chords are played with the Tutti). This is reflected in a temporary, gradual drop in
pitch, more evident in the longest, widest pipes (flutes, bourdons, principals).
Settings: 0 (no drop of air pressure) to 8 (maximun drop of air pressure)
Fine adjustment of the AIR PRESSURE parameter.
Settings: see Reference Manual
Programming Custom temperament
In addition to the historical temperaments it is possible to program up to 4
custom temperaments, adjusting the pitch difference with respect to the Equal
temperament for each note of the octave. To program a temperament, select
one of the four CUSTOM items in the display field and press [ENTER].
In the video page the 12 notes of the octave are shown and the variation in 0.1
cents of semitone in a range from -50 to +50 cents. After making the desired
adjustments, press [EXIT] to store them in the previously selected CUSTOM
temperament and return to the TUNING screen.
