[. . . ] This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] Voice Palette gives you a tremendous amount of added flexibility. For example, you can choose a Spitzflöte 4' rank instead of the Rohrflöte 4' rank assigned to the MANUAL I tilt tab of the same name. Voice Palette was so named because it greatly increases the number of tonal colors at your disposal; there are many more ranks available to you than the number of actual tilt tabs on the instrument. (1) Press and hold the lower part of a tilt tab and watch the MEMORY buttons ([0]~[4]). One of those buttons lights steadily to indicate the rank that is currently assigned to the tilt tab. Flashing MEMORY buttons indicate locations that contain other ranks you can use instead of the one you get by simply activating the tilt tab. Some MEMORY buttons continue to flash, while one of them lights. Note: If you pressed and held a tilt tab by accident and now see flashing MEMORY buttons, press any other button or tilt tab to leave the Voice Palette selection mode. Note: Using a stop containing a Voice Palette alternative will play either the default voice OR the Voice Palette alternative voice. For example, the Vox Humana 8' stop can be set to play either the Krummhorn 8' OR the Clarion 4' voice, but not both voices simultaneously. Note: The new assignments can be saved to a memory and/or the global area. Note: You can also select a Voice Palette rank by holding down the desired tilt tab while pressing a MEMORY [0]~[4] button. Using the orchestral sounds The C-190 contains orchestral sounds that can be used in isolation or together with the organ sounds. The orchestral sounds are velocity sensitive (their volume and timbre depend on the force with which you press the keys). There are three sections: the MANUAL I and II sections that can span the entire keyboard, and the PEDAL section that allows you to play a bass part. Let us first look at how to select a MANUAL I or II sound: (1) Press the [ORCHESTRA] button so that it lights. Connect an optional DP-2, DP-6, or BOSS FS-5U footswitch to the C-190's EXP/SUST socket to be able to hold the notes of the PEDAL, MANUAL I and II sections in the same way as on an acoustic piano. In addition to using the MANUAL II division's orchestral sound together with the MANUAL I sound (or in a separate keyboard zone), you can use the MANUAL II sound as "melody voice". That voice (any orchestral sound you choose in the MANUAL II section) is monophonic and therefore cannot play chords. It always sounds the highest (rightmost) note you play on the keyboard. (2) Press a tilt tab to select the sound whose name is printed below it (indicator lights). You can layer the MANUAL I and II sounds (play them together) or play them via separate keys (when the [II÷ Note: Each division can only play one orchestral sound at any one time. [. . . ] IControl changes In ORCHESTRA mode, the C-190 transmits and receives CC64 messages that describe when an optional sustain footswitch (connected to the EXP/ SUS socket) is pressed and released. furthermore , the C-190 sends and receives CC11 messages that describe the movements of an optional expression pedal. Other control changes that the C-190 transmits are CC91 to communicate the reverb depth setting (see p. ISysEx messages The C-190 also transmits SysEx messages that have a rather complex structure and are thus only meaningful to seasoned MIDI enthusiasts. [. . . ]
