3. Playing organ music
The C-190 features two sections that can be used simultaneously: an organ section and an orchestral section. Let us
begin with the organ section.
Registering the MANUAL I division
When the ORCHESTRA button doesn’t light, the white
tilt tabs serve the same purpose as the stops on a
church organ: they allow you to decide which ranks
should be audible. Be sure to press at least one tilt tab.
Otherwise, you won’t hear anything.
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL I tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding reg-
ister is audible. You can activate as many registers as
you like.
(3) If necessary, change the volume of the MANUAL I
division using its slider (to the left of the tilt tabs).
(4) Press the upper part of a tilt tab whose indicator
lights to switch that stop back off again.
Note: The SUSTAIN function is not available for organ stops.
An optional footswitch connected to the EXP/SUS socket thus
doesn’t allow you to hold the notes you are playing.
Adding the MANUAL II division
The C-190 provides a MANUAL II division that can be
added to the MANUAL I division. (You can also play via
separate keys, see below.)
When active, the MANUAL II division performs the
function of the Swell manual on a church organ, while
the MANUAL I section replaces the Great section.
Let us first look at how to couple those two sections,
which means that they are played together.
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL
I section.
Its indicator lights to signal that you can now add a
second division to the MANUAL I registration. This
simulates the coupling of two manuals on a church
organ.
(3) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
If the indicator of a tab lights, the corresponding reg-
ister is audible. You can activate as many registers as
you like.
It is also possible to switch off all MANUAL I registers
(except [II/I]) and only use one or several MANUAL II
registers to simulate a church organ’s Swell manual.
(4) Press the upper part of a tilt tab whose indicator
lights to switch that stop back off again.
Note: The SUSTAIN function is not available for organ stops.
An optional footswitch connected to the EXP/SUS socket thus
doesn’t allow you to hold the notes you are playing.
Note: The [TREMULANT] register cannot be used by itself. It
must be combined with at least one other MANUAL II register.
It has no effect on the PEDAL or MANUAL I sounds.
