in velocity until a new key is struck. Use this mode only when a velocity-sensitive
external MIDI device is connected. If this mode is selected when recording to a
sequencer, the expression on the organ will not function when playing back from the
sequencer.
SWELL-VOLUME
— This mode causes MIDI expression data to be sent only on the
Swell MIDI channel.
Some early sequencers can only interpret one volume message.
NO EXPRESSION
— No MIDI expression (volume) data sent.

MIDI SUSTAIN KICK SWITCH (optional)
A kick lever may be located to the left of the Great/Pedal expression shoe and controlled
by the organist’s foot. This kick switch operates MIDI sustain. This function can be
assigned to any one of or all of the instrument’s manuals. Advance to the MIDI Sustain
window function
(See Section A-2)
. It will display:
"MIDI SUSTAIN"
along with the
Swell Division's current switch status. Use the "CURSOR"
button on the Console
Controller™ to place the cursor on the division. Then turn the ROTARY DIAL
to select
Sw, Gt, Pd.
You need to make a selection of either ON or OFF
for each manual. Once
you have selected the manual that you want the MIDI Sustain Kick-Switch to apply to,
press the "CURSOR"
button on the Console Controller™ once again to move the cursor
to the switch status
.
Turn the
ROTARY DIAL
to select either ON or OFF. OFF status
will cause no sustain information to be sent from the associated manual, ON
will cause
MIDI voices to sustain or decay slowly. An example is when a PIANO voice has been
selected in a voice module. When the sustain function is
ON,
and the piano is played
from the associated manual and the foot controlled lever is pressed, the piano sound will
slowly decay similar to the way a sustain pedal on a piano operates.

TRANSFERRING & SAVING CAPTURE MEMORY DATA TO A SEQUENCER
CAPTURE MEMORY refers to all of the remembered piston registrations on all 4
Memories. With this operation, the organist can copy and save all of this stored
(remembered) information to a MIDI sequencer. Advance to the Capture Memory Save
window function
(See Section A-2)
. It will display:
"CAPTURE MEMORY SAVE"
.
Set your sequencer to the record mode and begin recording as you normally would.
Press and hold the "MEM" button on the Console Controller. While holding "MEM",
press General Pistons 2-5-5 in sequence. The CAPTURE MEMORY information will
be transmitted to the sequencer. During the memory data transfer process the display
will indicate that the saving process is proceeding. Once the transmission of data is
completed, the Console Controller™ window will display:
"DONE!!"
A copy of all the CAPTURE MEMORY information will exist in the sequencer and the
original information will be retained in the organ’s Console Controller™ memory.
10.
RETURN CAPTURE MEMORY DATA FROM A SEQUENCER TO THE ORGAN
To replace previously recorded Capture Memory information into the organ from your
sequencer, simply press "Play" on the sequencer and the recorded capture data will be
transmitted to the organ. You must have a MIDI cable from the OUT port of the
sequencer to the IN port of the Allen Organ. It does not matter what window or Memory
number the Console Controller displays.
