Glossary
Melody coupler
This causes the highest note played on manual I (the lower
keyboard) to be sounded using the sound of manual II (the upper
keyboard).
This means that the sound of the upper keyboard will be used to
play the highest note as the melody, even though you’re actually
fingering only the lower keyboard.
Tremulant
This creates a cyclic change in the sound’s volume or tone,
producing a soft character similar to tremolo or vibrato.
This effect is applied only to organ sounds.
Kick switches
These are switches that are located at the left and right sides of the
expression pedal and can be operated with the tip of your foot.
By assigning the desired function to these switches, you can switch
registrations using your feet.
Voice palette
Each sound tablet allows you to select four different stops (sounds)
as variations. These sounds are called the voice palette.
Voice setup
This is data that includes the voice palette (choice of variation) for
each sound (stop), the volume balance, and adjustments to the tone
and pitch (voicing), collectively determining the overall design or
type of the entire organ as appropriate for the era or style of music
you wish to play.
By switching between voice setups, you can change the overall
tonal character and feel of the entire organ; for example, you can
change from a Baroque organ to a French romantic era organ.
Temperament
The C-330/C-380 allows you to switch between several historical
tuning methods (temperaments) in addition to the standard equal
temperament of today.
Pitch
The reference pitch of an instrument is usually expressed as the
frequency of the middle “A” note.
As an alternative to today’s standard pitch of 440 Hertz, the C-330
allows you to choose historical pitches such as Baroque pitch (415
Hz) or Versailles pitch (392 Hz).
You can also adjust the tuning to intermediate pitches such as 442
Hz or 420 Hz.
Transpose
You can transpose the keyboard to change the range of pitches that
it plays.
