C-190 Portable Organ
Playing the MANUAL I and II
divisions via separate keys
As stated above, you can also assign the MANUAL I sec-
tion to the left half of the 76-note keyboard, and play
the MANUAL II section in the right half:
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Press the [II/I] tilt tab (the “coupler”) in the MANUAL
I section to switch it off.
(3) 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.
(4) Press the bottom part of a MANUAL II tilt tab to
activate the assigned register.
You can activate as many registers as you like.
(5) Start playing.
The left half of the keyboard is now assigned to the
MANUAL I division, and the right half to the MANUAL
II division.
Changing the split point
At first, the split point (the note where the MANUAL I
section ends and the MANUAL II division begins) is set
to the C indicated by an arrow (▼). Here’s how to select
another note in case you don’t agree with the factory
setting:
(1) Press and hold the [SET] button.
(2) Keep holding that button while pressing the key
where you want to split the keyboard.
The setting range is indicated by the arrows in the
illustration above.
The key you press becomes the lowest note of the
MANUAL II section.
Tremulant
A “tremulant” creates a change in pitch (vibrato),
amplitude (volume) and timbre (tone quality). The use
of the tremulant adds warmth and expressiveness to
solo or small ensemble combinations. It is not common
to use tremulants in larger classical ensembles. In some
romantic ensembles, tremulants are used judiciously. In
some gospel and evangelical musical traditions, tremu-
lants with a wider and deeper excursion are frequently
used.
The C-190 provides a tremulant function for the MAN-
UAL II section:
It only affects the stops of that division (and requires
that you switch on at least one tilt tab).
The TREMULANT status can be saved to one of the
memories.
Using the PEDAL division
The C-190 features a PEDAL division that can either be
played via the keyboard, or with an optional PK-5A,
PK-7, or PK-25 dynamic MIDI pedal unit.
If you only use the keyboard, the PEDAL division is
monophonic and doubles the lowest note you play
using the MANUAL I and/or II stops.
(1) Switch off the ORCHESTRA button if it lights.
(2) Use the PEDAL tabs to add one, two or three bass
notes to your playing.
At least one of the PEDAL tilt tabs must be on.
The bass notes are only added to the notes played in
the E1~B3 range:
