Chapter 1 Selecting and Playing Sounds
Footage (AT-90S)
The Upper and Lower keyboards provide Footage Tablets that allow you to
create a wide variety of organ sounds by combining voices of different
pitches. Here’s how to use the Footage Tablets to create a voice, so that you
can play sounds that are not provided by the three sections discussed
earlier. To more easily hear the characteristics of the Footage Tablets, turn
off the voices of the three (four) parts “Organ,” “Symphonic” and
“Orchestral” (& Solo).
The Footage Tablets are organized as follows.
