A
VOLUME slider
This slider allows you to increase or decrease the vol-
ume of all sections (PEDAL, MANUAL I and
MANUAL II).
B
PEDAL slider
This slider controls the volume of the PEDAL part (see
p. 9).
C
POWER SWITCH button
Press this button once to switch the C-190 on. Press
it again to switch the C-190 off.
D
PEDAL tilt tabs
These tabs allow you to switch on/off the corre-
sponding organ bass sound (SUB BASS, OCTAVE BASS
or BOMBARDE) or orchestral bass tone (ACC BASS,
STRINGED or CELLO).
E
MANUAL I slider
This slider controls the volume of the MANUAL I sec-
tion (see p. 9).
F
MANUAL I tilt tabs
When the ORCHESTRA button does
not
light, these
tabs allow you to switch the corresponding organ
registers on and off. You can activate all registers if
you like.
When the ORCHESTRA button lights, you can press
one of these to select the orchestral sound whose
name is printed below the tabs.
G
II/I tab (“Coupler”)
The C-190 provides two divisions: “MANUAL I” and
“MANUAL II”. This tab allows you to specify whether
those two divisions are to be played simultaneously
(by the same keys) or via separate key ranges.
H
TRANSPOSE button
Use this button to transpose the keyboard. This
allows you to go on playing in your favorite key,
while the notes you play are sounded in another key.
See p. 17.
I
TUNE button
At first, the C-190 is tuned like any electronic musical
instrument, with the A4= 440Hz. As long as you do
not change that setting, this button doesn’t light.
You can change the tuning frequency, however, and
save your setting to the global area.
J
UP/DOWN buttons
These buttons allow you to change settings (like the
tuning value or the reverb setting, for example). They
are usually assigned to the reverb effect.
K
ORCHESTRA button
Press this button if you want to select the C-190’s
orchestral sounds. One of those sounds can be added
to the organ registration in effect. See p. 15.
L
SPLIT/SET button
This button has two functions: it allows you to shift
the split point between MANUAL I and MANUAL II to
a different note (when the
[II/I]
tab is off) and to save
your settings to one of the eight memories (2 banks x
4 locations). See pages 12 and 19.
M
MEMORY buttons (M 1/2, 1~4, 0)
Your C-190 comes with four memories and two
banks (for a total of eight memories) that can be
accessed via the
[M1/2]
and
[1]
~
[4]
buttons. Press the
[0]
button to cancel the settings of the currently
selected memory and mute all registers and orches-
tral sounds.
