Introduction
The Console Controller™ is an interface that controls many organ functions and a variety
of MIDI functions. It includes a window that displays functions one at a time, two
function buttons and a rotary dial that may be used to make selections. Each window
function is described here in detail.
A. BASIC OPERATION
1. START-UP SEQUENCE
Upon turning on the organ's main power switch the Console Controller™ will display
"Allen Organ Co. Copyright (©) 2000"
in its display window for several seconds.
During this start-up period do not press any keys, pedals, stops or move the expression
shoe(s). You may also notice that the power LED will blink momentarily as well as the
stop indicators. The organ's computer is booting up during this time period and this is
considered a NORMAL condition. The organ will be ready to play when the Main
window function appears on the Console Controller™ and the power LED glows
steadily.
The Main window function is the window that indicates the current capture memory as
well as the current Transposer value. The capture memory value is on the first line at the
upper left of the display. The Transposer value is located on the right side of the display.
The Transposer value actually encompasses both lines.
WARNING:
If a warning is displayed in the start-up sequence, contact your authorized
Allen representative immediately.
2. ADVANCING THROUGH ALL WINDOWS
To advance the Console Controller™ display to each next window, press the
CURSOR
button until the blinking
CURSOR
is over the abbreviation
MEM
in the display. Once
the abbreviation
MEM
is highlighted, slowly turn the
ROTARY DIAL
clockwise and
the display will advance to the next window function. When the second window function
is displayed, rotate the
ROTARY DIAL
counter-clockwise, the window will return to
the Main window display function. Turn the
ROTARY DIAL
counter-clockwise again
and the last window function will display.
REMEMBER:
You may return to the
Main Window
function at any time by pressing
and holding the
SET
piston. Then, while holding
SET
, press the
CANCEL
piston, then
release both pistons. This process will always return the Console Controller’s display to
the Main Window function.
3. SELECTING THE FOUR CAPTURE MEMORIES
The Main window function must be displayed
(See Section A-2)
. Locate the “CURSOR”
button on the face of the Console Controller™. Press this button to move the cursor to
the first number to the right of the abbreviation
“MEM”
. Once the memory number is
selected, turn the ROTARY DIAL clockwise
to select the memories sequentially from
MEM 1, to MEM 2, to MEM 3.
Or, turn the ROTARY DIAL Counter-Clockwise to
select the memories sequentially from
MEM 1, to MEM 4, to MEM 3.
