Organ Flutes (Footage Settings) Quick Guide on page 28 Reference The Tyros2 features a variety of lush, dynamic organ voices that you can call up with the [ORGAN FLUTES] button. It also gives you the tools to create your own original organ sounds by changing the footage settings. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sounds by adjusting the levels of the flute footages. From these display you can also change the volume and effect settings. Basic Procedure 1 Press the [ORGAN FLUTES] button to call up the Open/Save dis- play for organ voices. 3 Select the desired menu with the [TAB] buttons and set the appropriate parameters. 2 Press the [FOOTAGE] LCD button (upper [5] button) to call up the Footage display. Adjust the footage. The [1] buttons are used to adjust either the 16' or 5-1/3' footages. Select the desired footage here, then adjust it with the [1] buttons. 4 Press the [SAVE] LCD button to call up the Open/Save display of the User drive and save the settings here as a User voice to the drive. For details, see page 75. CAUTION If you select another voice without saving the settings, the settings will be lost. If you wish to store the settings here, make sure to save the settings as a User Voice before selecting another voice or turning the power off. Parameters The Organ Flutes parameters are organized into three different pages, and can be set as described in step #3 of the "Basic Procedure" above. These can also be programmed as part of the Voice Set parameters (page 188), to be automatically called up when the voice is selected. ■ FOOTAGE ORGAN TYPE ROTARY SP SPEED VIBRATO ON/OFF VIBRATO DEPTH 16'-1' (Footage) This LCD button specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage. This LCD button alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see "DSP Type" below), and the VOICE EFFECT [DSP] button is turned on (this LCD button has the same effect as the VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button). This LCD button alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes voice ON or OFF. This LCD button sets the Vibrato depth to one of three levels: 1 (low), 2 (mid), or 3 (high). These LCD buttons determine the basic sound of the organ flutes. The term "footage" is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound. Hence, the 16' setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1' setting determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own distinctive organ sounds. 89 Tyros2 Owner's Manual
