Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Normal and Delayed Vibrato?

Normal vibrato starts immediately when a note is played, while delayed vibrato starts some time after the note has been played.

How does the Coupler Effect allow a single key to produce multiple sounds?

Activating the 16', 8', and 4' Flute tone levers allows you to produce three simultaneous sounds one octave apart by simply pressing down on one key.

What is the maximum number of sounds that can be produced on the keyboards at once?

A maximum of seven sounds may be produced on both the upper and lower keyboard at one time.

What happens to the sound if the Pedal Sustain lever is pushed to the 'Long' position?

Pushing the Pedal Sustain lever down towards the 'Long' position applies a desired fadeout to the sound generated by the Pedal Tone Levers.
