This short guide will serve you as a quick reference for the basic operations. For more details, please visit

CONNECTIONS AND STARTUP - Make all necessary AUDIO and MIDI connections prior to turning the instrument on. Use only AC power cord supplied with the instrument. Connect the L/R Audio outputs to your speakers, the 11 pin cable to your rotary cabinet (if available) or your headphones, then press the POWER button once. Wait until the led will stop the presentation and you are ready to go! By default, the organ will startup in manual drawbars mode.
PRESETS - The presets numbered from 1 to 6 are user presets and don't take the drawbars position into consideration.
If you want to use the drawbars, press the preset buttons labeled “A-hold-B”
. To save a preset, press the desired numbered button for about 2/3 seconds, the corresponding LED will turn off and then on again. The functionality of upper set and lower set is the same.
The buttons labeled
“A-Hold-B”
allows to access additional functions:
1) Simple press : is the “manual” button. Use drawbars to create your sound.
2) Hold function : if you are in manual mode and you press “
A-Hold-B
” another time, the instrument will enter the drawbars hold function: this is a special state that, when activated, momentarily disconnects the drawbars from the sound, allowing you to adjust the drawbars without affecting the sound, and get instantly to the new registration, as if it were a stored preset, the exact moment you deactivate the drawbars hold function.
Example: select the upper manual, set the drawbars the way you like and play a chord; now press the “
A-
Hold-B
” selection button again, you'll notice that the corresponding LED starts flashing; now move the drawbars to a new registration while still keeping the chord playing... hear, nothing changes to the sound; now push the “
A-Hold-B
” button again. The new registration is now playing. This is pretty much what organists use to do with console organs that have two drawbar sets per each manual.
3) Cancel mode : Holding down the
“A-Hold-B”
will activate the cancel state: this state simulates the registration with all drawbars closed (no sound). When activated, the organ does not play but will emit midi note on/off signals WITH VELOCITY on channel 4 (if cancel is activated in upper manual) and on channel 5 (if cancel is activated in lower manual).

“shift”
button, the corresponding LED blinks. In Edit Mode, some preset buttons will assume the following functions and you can access bonus sounds: please take a look at panel of the instrument for more informations.
