1. IMPORTANT NOTES

1.1 LOOKING AFTER THE PRODUCT

• Do not apply excessive force to the organ’s structures or the controls (knobs, stops, push-

buttons, etc.).

• When possible, do not place the instrument close to units which generate strong interference,

such as radios, TVs, computer videos, etc.

• Do not place the organ close to heat sources, in damp or dusty places or in the vicinity of strong

magnetic fields.

• Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight.

• Never insert foreign bodies inside the instrument or pour liquids of any kind into it.

• For cleaning, use only a soft brush or compressed air; never use detergents, solvents or alcohol.

• Always use good quality screened cables for connection to amplification or diffusion systems.

When disconnecting cables from sockets, always take hold of the connector and not the cable

itself; when winding cables, do not knot or twist them.

• Before making the connections ensure that the other units (especially amplification and diffusion

systems) you are about to connect are switched off. This will prevent noisy or even dangerous

signal peaks.

• If the organ is to be out of use for lengthy periods, disconnect the plug from the power socket.

1.2 NOTES ON FLOPPY DISKS

• Use only good quality floppy disks.

• Do not extract the floppy disk when reading or writing operations are in progress (when the

LED on the drive is on); this may damage the head and the magnetic medium.

• Use only 3.5" DD and HD (720Kbyte and 1.44Mbyte) floppy disks formatted to the MS-DOS

standard.

• Take good care of your floppy disks and do not place them close to heat sources or magnetic

fields (computer videos, loudspeakers, etc.), or in damp or dusty places.

• The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage to the floppy disk drive in case of

use of damaged floppy disks.

15. General memories: this section contains the instrument’s six general memories. You can use

the general memory to save the stops, the Couplers and the Orchestra voices (in the version of

the organ with Orchestra voices) of all the manuals and the pedal board.

16. Dedicated memories: the Concerto III also has six memories dedicated to the pedal board

(16a), to Swell (16b), to Great (16c) and to Choir (16d). In the dedicated memories you can

only save the setup of the stops, the couplers and the Orchestra voices (in the version of the

organ with Orchestra voices) of the section associated to the memory selected.

In actual fact, the organ has 48 general memories and 48 dedicated memories for each manual

and for the pedal board, since there are eight memory banks which can be selected on the

9


display (MEMORY BANK parameter): this parameter is of fundamental importance if the

instrument is used by more than one organist, since each of them will be able to save his or her

own settings inside a memory bank.

For the memory saving procedure, see point 17.

The memories also include an [HR] button, also known as 0, which recalls the stop, Coupler

and Orchestra voice setup before a memory is activated.

17. [S] button: “Set” button which enables the saving of memories. To save a memory, simply

press the [S] button, keep it pressed and then press the button of the memory you wish to save,

which may be either dedicated or general.

18. Pedal couplers: these buttons activate the couplings of the manuals with the pedal board, as

follows:

o [SW/P] (18a): coupling of the Swell with the pedal board.

o [G/P] (18b): coupling of the Great with the pedal board.

o [C/P] (18c): coupling of the Choir with the pedal board.

19. Great couplers: these buttons activate the couplings with Great, as follows:

o [SW/G]: coupling of Swell with the Great.

o [C/G]: coupling of the Choir with the Great.

20. [SW/C] button: this button enables the coupling of the Swell with the Choir.

21. [SWS] button: pressing this button allows you to control the organ’s general volume by means

of the [SWELL] pedal.

22. [A.P.] button: this button enables the AUTOMATIC PEDAL, used to play the stops and the

Orchestra voice of the pedal board using the first 32 notes of Great. In this case the pedalboard

is disactivated and the Pedal voices play monophonically on the lowest note of Great.

23. [C] button: “Cancel” button, which switches off any stops, couplers and Orchestra voices

which may be on.

24. [T] button: “Tutti” button, which enables a preset series of stops, couplers and Orchestra voices.

The voice composition of the Tutti function is programmable. To save a new setup, switch on

the stops, couplers and Orchestra voices (in the version with Orchestra voices) of your choice,

press [S], keep it pressed and then press the [T] button or the [TUTTI] foot piston.

25. Display functions floppy disk drive: use only 720 Kb or 1.44 Mb 3.5" floppy disks.

27. [CHOIR] pedal: pedal used to control the volume of the Choir.

28. [SWELL] pedal: you can use this pedal to control the volume of the Swell.

29. [CRESCENDO] pedal: you can use this pedal to select the Crescendo steps which activate a

preset series of stops. The step currently selected is displayed by the [CRESCENDO] LED bar

on the central panel.

Each Crescendo step is programmable. To do this, use the [CRESCENDO] pedal to select the

step you require, switch on the stops, couplers and Orchestra voices (in the version with Orche-

stra voices) of your choice, press [S], keep it pressed and then press the general memories [HR]

button.

30. [MIDI SUSTAIN] piston: Sustain piston for the Orchestra voices. It also transmits Control

Change ”CC64” on Midi Out (in the Concerto III without Orchestra section transmits only the

Control Change “CC64”).

31. Coupler pistons: these pistons replicate the functions of the [COUPLERS] stops on the central

panel. For a detailed description of each individual coupling, refer to point 14 of section 2.2.

32. [TUTTI] piston: piston used to activate the Tutti. For a more detailed description, refer to

point 24 of section 2.3.

2.5 THE CONNECTIONS UNDERNEATH THE MANUALS

34 35 36 37

34. [HEADPHONES] connector: Jack socket to which a headphone set can be connected. With

headphones connected, the organ’s internal amplification is cut off.

N.B.:

To obtain the best results from the [HEADPHONES] output, phones with impedance of at

least 16Ω should be used.

35. [MIDI] connectors: five-pin DIN connectors for connection of instruments with MIDI interface.

The [IN] connector allows receipt of MIDI messages generated by remote MIDI sources, the

[OUT] connector transmits the MIDI messages generated by the Concerto III, and the [THRU]

connector transmits exactly the data received at the [IN] connector.

36. [INPUT] connectors: RCA input connectors which allow other instruments to be played using

the organ’s internal amplification. If the source is monophonic use the L(MONO) connector

only.

37. [OUTPUT] connectors: RCA connectors for output of the unamplified signal, for connection

of optional amplified speakers, remote amplification systems or recording systems. To use a

monophonic signal, connect to the [L/(MONO)] connector only.

12


2.6 THE CONNECTIONS ON THE REAR PANEL

38 39

38. [EXT. +12V DC] connector: this socket can be used to obtain the +12 VDC voltage for remote

switch-on of the amplifiers connected to the [MAIN OUTPUTS] connectors using the [EXT.SPK]

switch on the right-hand side panel (see point 4 of section 2.1).

39. [MAIN OUTPUTS] connectors: Jack sockets for connecting optional remote speakers.

The signal distribution is as follows:

o [OUT 1 (GENERAL)]: if just these jacks are connected, these outputs will carry the church

organ voices of the entire organ, and the Orchestra voices.

o [OUT 2 (+ORCHESTRA)]: if these jacks are also connected, these outputs will carry the

Orchestra voices, while the church organ voices will be subdivided on the basis of the

AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM function, which can be set on the display.

o [ORCHESTRA]: if these jacks are also connected, these connectors will carry the

Orchestra voices, while the [OUT 1] and [OUT 2] will carry the church organ voices on the

basis of the AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM function.

In the Concerto III version without Orchestra voices, the outputs dedicated to these voices are

absent, so the setup will be:

o [OUT 1 (GENERAL)]: if these jacks are connected, these outputs will carry the voices of

the entire organ.

o [OUT 2]: if these jacks are also connected, the sections will be shared between the [OUT 1]

and [OUT 2] outputs basis of the AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM function settings.

N.B.

- The [MAIN OUTPUTS] outputs are unaffected by the general volume control function

implemented using the [GENERAL] slider on the central panel.

- For further information about the AMPLIFICATION SYSTEM function, refer to point 6.4.

containing the following parameters:

o MEMORY BANK: this option can be used to select one of the eight memory banks for saving

the general and/or dedicated memories. As well as providing a total of 24 memories, this function

is especially important if the instrument is used by more than one organist, since each of them

will be able to save his or her own settings in a different Memory Bank.

o TEMPERAMENT: this parameter allows the selection of a series of historic temperaments of

different eras and national origins. The organist has a choice of a perfectly-tuned normal

temperament (EQUAL), two normal temperaments with tiny tuning errors which simulate the

imperfections which occur in the organ’s pipes due to wear over time and temperature

(ENSEMBLE 1 and ENSEMBLE 2), or the classical KIRNBERGER, WERCKMEISTER,

PYTHAGOREAN, MEANTONE, VALLOTTI temperaments.

o TUNING: allows adjustment of the fine tuning of the instrument within a range of +/- 1 semitone.

o TRANSPOSER: sets the instrument’s tuning within a range of +5 / -6 semitones (adjustments

in steps of one semitone).

INFORMATION ABOUT THE DISPLAY PAGES

During display of video pages, two arrows may appear on the right of the display, informing

the user that further display pages are available. A downward-pointing arrow indicates that

there is another following page, accessible using the [CURSOR (PG) DOWN] button.

Conversely, a previous page is indicated by an upward-pointing arrow; to display it press the

[CURSOR (PG) UP] button.

A BRIEF NOTE ON TEMPERAMENTS

In the “natural” tuning system, based on the acoustic phenomenon of harmonic voices, two important musical intervals,

the major third and the perfect fifth, cannot be made to coexist in the “pure” state (i.e. beat-free). Therefore, over the

centuries a variety of compromise solutions known as TEMPERAMENTS have been invented and realised.

These give the priority to one interval or the other, and modify them in various ways..

In ancient times and in the Middle Ages, until the end of the 15th Century, the “Pythagorean” tuning system, in which

the fifths were kept perfectly pure, was used. The resulting major third interval was particularly unpleasant and was

therefore considered a dissonance. However, the music of the time was mainly monodic and the first vocal and

instrumental polyphonic forms made wide use of the interval of a fifth. With the early Renaissance and the start of the

great age of vocal polyphony, the interval of a major third gradually came to be heard as a consonance. The instruments

with fixed tuning, such as the organ and harpsichord, were adapted to this situation by using a system of temperament

known as meantone, which gave priority to the major third over the fifth. This temperament is particularly important

since it was in normal use in Europe in the 16th and 17th Centuries, until the beginning of the 18th. Here are the six

temperaments offered by the Concerto III, first of all the MEANTONE.

MEANTONE

- 8 pure major thirds: E flat – G / B flat – D / F – A / C – E / G – B / D – F # / A – C# / E – G.

- 4 unusable major thirds (diminished fourths): B – D# / F# - A# / C# - E# / A flat - C.

- 1 fifth known as the “wolf” (very dissonant extended fifth): G# - E flat.

- Highly irregular chromatic scale (meaning that chromatic compositions are given a very distinctive voice)

- Keys usable with this temperament: C maj. / D maj. / G maj. / A maj. / B flat maj. and the relative minors.

The temperaments which follow allow all the major and minor keys to be used, although those with the most alterations

have a highly distinctive voice, in contrast with the modern equal temperament.

WERCKMEISTER

This temperament, invented by the organist and musical theorist Andreas Werckmeister, is recommended for performing

the German musical repertoire of the late 1600s.

KIRNBERGER

This temperament, developed by Johann Philipp Kirnberger, pupil of J.S. Bach, is also suitable for playing the German

baroque composers and the works of Bach.

VALLOTTI

This Italian temperament by Francescantonio Vallotti was later reworked in England by Thomas Young. It can be used

effectively for the Italian 18th Century repertoire, and also for the English repertoire of the same period.

PYTHAGOREAN

This temperament, in which the fifths were preserved perfectly pure, dates from the Middle Ages up to the 15th century,

and can therefore be used for compositions of that period.

4. FUNCTIONS FOR CONTROLLING THE ORGAN’S VOICES

One major innovation of the Concerto III organ is that it allows the user to load church organ voices

to replace those initially loaded by our workshops by just recalling a display function and using the

relevant floppy disks.

This means you will be able to set your organ’s entire voice setup exactly as you wish and at any

time, with considerable advantages for the customisation of the instrument, and for its use by more

than one organist (each of them will be able to have their own set of voices).

All the functions for controlling the organ’s voices can be recalled by pressing the [VOICES]

button underneath the display. This will call up the video page:

These functions are:

o LOAD VOICE FROM DISK: function for loading voices from disk.

o SORT MANUAL: sorts the voices.

o VOICES VOLUME: regulates the volume of each individual voice.

o LABEL CHECK: allows checking of the labels of the stops after new voices have been loaded

and/or after a voice sort.

To recall the function, place the cursor on the field required using the [CURSOR] keys and press

[ENTER/YES]. Otherwise, press the [VOICES] or [EXIT/NO] buttons to return to the main video

page.

4.1 LOADING VOICES FROM DISK

To load voices, insert the relevant floppy disk in the drive, select the LOAD VOICE FROM DISK

option in the VOICES menu and press [ENTER/YES]. The system will then verify the contents of

the disk:

and if it contains files for the installation of new voices, these will be shown on the display.

18


This function contains two different loading systems, it is therefore possibile to install:

- all the voices of a manual or the pedal board.

- an individual voice.

LOADING OF VOICES OF A COMPLETE MANUAL OR OF THE COMPLETE

PEDALBOARD

To load a set of voices for the entire organ, or for a manual or the pedal board, select the LOAD

VOICE FROM DISK function from the VOICES menu, and once the contents of the disk have

appeared on the display, select one of the following .GRP files:

- Usa_Swl.grp: this file allows you to load all the voices of the Swell.

- Usa_Grt.grp: file for loading all the voices of the Great.

- Usa_Chr.grp: file for loading all the voices of the Choir.

- Usa_Ped.grp: file for loading all the voices of the Pedal.

After having selected the choosen .GRP file, the systems will first cancel all memorized datas

concerning the section where you would like to install the new voice or voices.

And then the name of the voice with the percentage of the datas loaded in the memory:

In the upper line of the display you will see the number of the voices loaded indicated by the

symbol #. The lines “-“ will indicate which voices still have to be loaded.

These two video pages will be displayed for all the voices installed.

After having loaded the first voice, the display will first show the name of the .KEY file

N.B.:

For more information about the files used in this stage, refer to the “Information about Voice

Files” at the end of this section.

Once the procedure is complete, the display will show:

instructing you to check the labels on the stops against the new voices loaded.

Press [EXIT/NO] and perform the LABEL CHECK function described in point 4.4.

LOADING AN INDIVIDUAL VOICE

To load just one voice, select the LOAD VOICE FROM DISK option in the VOICES menu.

As we have already seen, the display will show all the voices files on the floppy disk.

Now select the voice you wish to load in the internal memory of the organ ( files: KEY, PED or

DET), The display will show:

The instrument uses this video page to ask where you wish to place the new voice.

Use the encoder to set the stop you have chosen; you will see that it lights up on the panel.

To simplify the procedure, the display shows the new voice (New parameter) and the voice to be

replaced (Old parameter).

Now press [ENTER/YES] to start the function: the system will request confirmation, showing the

new voice and the voice to be replaced (and therefore deleted).

Press [ENTER/YES] again to proceed with the installation or [EXIT/NO] to abort.

During loading, the following video page will be displayed:

INFORMATION ABOUT VOICE FILES

The Concerto III is capable of loading new

voices in its own internal memory by means

of five types of file:

1) .GRP: indicates which voice .KEY, .PED

or .det files are to be read. This type of file

can be used to load all the voices of the

organ or each individual manual / pedal

board.

2) .KEY: indicates which manual voice .DAT

file is to be loaded.

3) .PED: indicates which pedal board voice

.DAT file is to be loaded.

4) .DET: indicates which detuned (or “beating”) voice .DAT file is to be loaded.

5) .DAT: contains the sound sample data.

Bearing this in mind, it is important to remember that:

o In view of the close relationship between the various types of file (the .GRP file recalls the

.KEY / .PED / .DET which calls the .DAT), do not rename the files, regardless of its extension.

o Do not modify the contents of the .GRP, .KEY, .PED and .DET files.

o Do not delete the files supplied together from the .GRP file from the floppy disks. If any of

these files is missing, during loading of the voices an error will appear on the display, so the

system will not be able to save the voice(s) in the memory.

o Please note that when you load a new voice in the organ, the original voice will be cancelled.

Please ensure that you have the disks delivered with the instrument with all the voices (files

.KEY, .PED, .DET and .DAT) and the .GRP files.

o The detuned voices (.DET files) have fixed positions (in the last 8' stop of the family to which

they belong), so they cannot be freely placed. In addition, voices with different footages (32’,

16’, 8’, etc.) cannot be loaded in the stops which contain these voices.

o The name of the .KEY / .PED / .DET file is not always exactly the same as the name of the

voice. However, the following video page will always indicate the name of the voice being

loaded:

21


As the display states, once the operation is complete (i.e. when the display returns to the VOICES

menu) it will be necessary to verify the correspondence between the panel stop label and the voice

loaded using the LABEL CHECK function.

4.3 REGULATING THE VOICE VOLUMES

You can further customise your Concerto III’s sound setup by regulating the volumes of each

individual voice in a range from -12 dB to +6 dB.

To recall this function, select the VOICES VOLUME option and press the [ENTER/YES] button;

the display will show:

4.2 VOICE SORT

Once individual voices have been loaded in the manuals and/or the pedal board, it may be necessary

to rearrange them. Normally, the voices in an organ’s various sections are arranged from the lower

to the higher footages (32’, 16’, 8’, 4’, 2’, 1’). Within each group of the same footage, the families

are then arranged as follows:

- Principals

- Open Flutes

- Bourdons (or Closed Flutes)

- Violas (or Mordents)

- Detuned: these voices are placed in the group of 8' voices in last position in the relative family

- Trumpets

- Mixtures

The Reeds are placed after the last footage of the families listed above.

The SORT MANUAL function the VOICES menu allows all the organ’s voices to be sorted on the

basis of the criteria set out above.

To recall this function, select the SORT MANUAL option and press the [ENTER/YES] button.

The system will proceed to sort the voices, displaying the following video page for the time needed

to complete the operation:

Now use the buttons to move the cursor and [ENTER/YES] to confirm in order to select the manual

or pedal board containing the voice(s) the volume of which you wish to regulate.

After confirmation is provided with [ENTER/YES], the display will show the first four stops and

the current volume values.

22


Locate the cursor on the voice of choice and use the encoder to modify the value (expressed in dB).

The modification will be audible in real time, making it easier for the user to obtain the setting

required.

Use buttons [CURSOR (PG) DOWN] and [CURSOR (PG) UP] in order to display the remaining

voices.

Once you have made all the changes you require, press [EXIT/NO] to return to display of the

VOICES menu.

4.4 CHECKING THE STOP LABELS

After having loaded the new voices in the internal memory of the organ, it could happen that the

name plates of the tabs do not correspond to the voices. Therefore please verify this and in case it

does not correspond, please change the name plates.

The LABEL CHECK function is available for this purpose. To recall this function, select the LABEL

CHECK option in the VOICES menu and press [ENTER/YES]:

The STOP field indicates the stop being checked (which will be constantly illuminated on the

panel), while the right of the display show the manual to which it belongs and the voice it now

controls.

Turning the Encoder you will read the names of the voices.

In case the display shows the message:

it will mean that the voice has been changed and that it is necessary to replace the name plate.

Once you have checked the labels of all the stops, press [EXIT/NO] to return to display of the

VOICES menu.

23


CHANGING LABELS

As we have seen, once you have loaded a set of voices it may be necessary to change the labels of

the stops, since most of the voices will have changed and the name of the stop will no longer

correspond to the voice loaded in the memory.

However, it is very easy to change the labels because they are just pressed into the stop.

Remove the label with your fingers or using a small screwdriver (as shown below) and fit the

correct one (supplied with the set of disks for loading the voices).

4.5 ERROR MESSAGES - VOICES MENU

8. RECORDING AND PLAYING BACK MUSICAL

PERFORMANCES

The Concerto III has a multitrack sequencer allowing the user to record, save on floppy disk and

play back musical performances. Besides this, the system allows MIDI sequences to be recorded in

multidubbing mode (i.e. in different steps) and the quantizing of MIDI events, and offers three

editing functions for modifying your recordings. The sequencer and the relative modification

functions are simple and user-friendly, ensuring that it is quick and easy to set up the instrument.

Each of the organ’s sections (Choir, Great, Swell and pedal) is recorded on a different track. A fifth

track records the stop status, Tutti, Crescendo, Couplers and manual settings. The names of these

tracks are as follows:

- PED (Pedal): the track used to record the note and volume events performed on the pedal

board.

- CHR (Choir): the track used to record the Choir events.

- GRT (Great): the track used to record the Great events.

- SWL (Swell): track for the Swell events.

- CM (Common): “common” track used for the stops, Orchestra voices (in the version of the

organ with Orchestra voices), couplers, Enclosed, Automatic Pedal and Keyboard Inversion.

It will be possible to record musical sequences up to a maximum of 60,000 MIDI events with a

resolution of 192 tpqn (ticks per quarter note (or crotchet).

The recordings are saved on floppy disks as MIDI (.mid) files in format 1. In this format, the

channels used to record the accompaniments are subdivided by tracks (unlike format 0, which

combines all the channels on a single track), keeping the organ’s sections subdivided for quicker,

easier interpretation. This means that the songs recorded are compatible with even the most run-of-

the-mill computer MIDI software packages (for creating and printing out scores, modifying the

song’s advanced parameters, and so on).

8.1 RECORDING A PERFORMANCE

To start a recording session, simply press the [RECORD] button after inserting a floppy disk in the

drive. The system will proceed to read the disk and display:

after which it will show the video page used to set up the recording:

consisting of the fields described in next page.

45


o RECORD: this displays the name of the MIDI sequence being recorded. For each new recording,

the name “NEWSONG” will always appear, while during a multidubbing recording, the song’s

current name will be displayed.

o TEMPO: indicates the current metronome tempo. Locate the cursor on this parameter and use

the encoder if you wish to modify its value.

o MEAS: displays the bar (measure) reached in the recording.

o PED – CHR – GRT – SWL – CM: these five parameters set the status of the Pedal, Choir,

Great, Swell and Common tracks, as follows:

- REC: the events performed on the organ are recorded.

- IN: the events present on the [MIDI IN] port are recorded. Select this mode if you wish to

record music performed on an instrument connected to the Concerto III.

- - - -: the selected track is deactivated. The events performed on the relative section are not

recorded.

Then press [START-STOP] to start the recording. The sequencer will start with the number of

precount bars set earlier (-2 in default condition) and the Led of the [START-STOP] button will

flash in time with the current tempo and the Time Signature set.

To modify the number of precount bars and the time signature, press [TIME SIGN] before starting

to record, and follow the instructions provided in point 8.4.

Otherwise, use [RECORD] or [EXIT/NO] to exit the sequencer function and return to display of

the main video page.

If you wish to over-record an existing song, locate the cursor on the RECORD field and press the

[ENTER/YES] button; all the .MID files on the floppy disk will be displayed:

Use the cursor keys and [ENTER/YES] to select the song of your choice; the display will show:

for the time it takes to load the song, and then:

46


The tracks in the MIDI sequence are identified by the PLY code. There is now a choice of the

following modes:

- REC (Record): the track is recorded and re-writes all the original events

- OVD (Overdub): the new events recorded are added to those already in the track.

This mode is not selectable for the track Common..

- PLY (Play): the organ plays the track.

- IN: the track records the MIDI data received on the [MIDI IN] port, deleting all the events

present before the recording is made.

- OUT: the data in the track are transmitted on the [MIDI OUT] port for playback by a remote

MIDI module.

- - - -: the track is not included in the playback / recording.

The diagram below explains the differences between “Record” and “Overdub” recording modes.

The [CURSOR] keys can also be used to locate the cursor on the TEMPO field, to modify the

metronome tempo, and the MEAS. field, to select the bar from which recording is to start.

In this case, the following video page will be displayed:

Use the encoder to set the recording start bar. As the message instructs you, press [ENTER/YES] to

confirm the bar or [EXIT/NO] to abort the entire operation.

After setting all the parameters, press [START-STOP] to start the recording / playback.

The system will start with the number of precount bars set earlier and the Led of the [START-

STOP] button will start to flash in time with the current tempo and the Time Signature set.

47


To stop the recording, press [START-STOP] again; the display will show the video page for saving

the sequence just recorded, in which the name of the song can be entered.

With the usual procedure, use the [CURSOR] buttons to move the cursor and the encoder to select

the characters. Then press [ENTER/YES] to save the recording on the floppy disk [EXIT/NO] to

abort the saving operation.

WARNING!

To take sure that existing recordings are not lost, when entering the name of the song take care

not to enter a name already on the disk. In this case, the original file will be overwritten.

8.2 PLAYING BACK A PERFORMANCE

To play back a song recorded using the sequencer, insert the floppy disk in the drive and press.

The system will proceed to read the floppy disk:

after which all the songs (.mid files) saved on the disk will be displayed:

Use the [CURSOR] keys to select the song you wish to play and press [ENTER/YES]. The display

will show the page:

As described in the previous point, the tracks which make up the song are identified by the PLY

code.

48


The following playback modes (selected by locating the cursor on the track required and turning

the encoder) are available for each track:

- PLY (Play): the track is played by the organ and the data are transmitted to the [MIDI OUT]

gate according to the MIDI settings ( MIDI To, channels and filters)

- MUT (Mute): the track is not included in the playback.

- OUT: the data contained in this track are transmitted to the gate [MIDI OUT] indipendently

from the MIDI settings

Besides this, it is possible to regulate the playback tempo, by locating the cursor on the TEMPO

field and regulating its value using the encoder, and the bar from which playback is to start.

To regulate the starting bar, locate the cursor on the MEAS field and turn the encoder to display the

following video page:

Use the encoder to set the start bar. Press [ENTER/YES] to confirm the value or [EXIT/NO] to

abort the entire function.

After having setted the parameters you wish, press [ENTER/YES] and then [START-STOP] in

order to start reproduction of the MIDI sequence. The LED of the key will start to flash in time with

the current tempo and Time Signature.

If you wish to stop playback temporarily, press the [PLAY] button; press the same button again to

restart the song.

To stop the playback, press [START-STOP] again; press [EXIT/NO] or [PLAY] to exit sequencer

Play mode.

8.3 SWITCHING ON AND SETTING THE METRONOME

The Concerto III’s sequencer has its own metronome, which can be heard through the instrument’s

internal speakers.

To switch on the metronome, simply press the [METRONOME] button in the group of sequencer

buttons. The LED of the key displays the function’s status: when the LED is lit, the metronome is

on.

The metronome speed will be set according to the TEMPO parameter in the sequencer video pages

(both Record and Play), while the downbeat will depend on the Time Signature setting (see point

8.4).

To set up the metronome’s internal parameters, keep the [METRONOME] button pressed for a few

seconds. The following video page will be displayed:

49


containing two parameters:

o LEVEL: regulates the metronome’s audio level.

o REC PRECOUNT: sets the number of Precount bars, meaning the number of bars after which

the sequencer will start to record the MIDI sequences.

After setting the parameters to suit your requirements, press [ENTER/YES] to confirm or [EXIT/

NO] to abort the whole procedure. In both cases the display will return to the previous video page.

8.4 SETTING THE TIME SIGNATURE

To select the time signature with which a song is to be recorded, press the [TIME-SIGN.] button

after recalling the sequencer Record mode; the display will show:

Use the encoder to select the Time Signature you require; the possible values are: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4,

5/4, 7/4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8 and 12/8.

Then press [ENTER/YES] to confirm the new value or [EXIT/NO] to abort it.

If you press the [TIME-SIGN.] button with the sequencer in Play mode, the system will inform you

about the Time Signature of the MIDI sequence currently loaded:

8.5 QUANTIZING THE MIDI EVENTS IN THE SONGS RECORDED

Quantizing is a very useful function since it allows small errors in the rhythm of a recording to be

corrected. Often, some notes may be played slightly before or after the correct moment.

This function allows the notes to be aligned to the closest beat inside the bar, also guaranteeing the

perfect synchronisation of the MIDI events on the various tracks.

One very useful feature of the quantizing function provided on the Concerto III’s sequencer is that

the user can set both the value of the beat within in the bar on which the notes will be positioned

and a given number of bars, so that it is not necessary to quantize the entire MIDI sequence.

To recall the function, after loading the song required with the sequencer, simply press the

[QUANTIZE] button and the display will show the setup video page.

50


containing the following programming parameters:

o QUANTIZE: sets the value of the nearest beat on which all the notes in a given bar will be

placed.

o FROM M: sets the number of the initial bar (measure) from which the quantizing of the MIDI

events will start.

o TO M: sets the last bar number to be affected by the quantizing operation.

The name of the song currently being modified also appears on the left of the bottom line.

Now press [ENTER/YES] and a confirmation prompt will appear.

Press [ENTER/YES] again to confirm or [EXIT/NO] to abort.

If you confirm, the system will proceed with the quantizing operation, displaying the following

video page for all the time needed to complete the operation:

After which you will be prompted to assign a name to the new song.

Use the [CURSOR] keys to move the cursor and the encoder to select the letters. Then press [ENTER/

YES] to save the song definitively.

51


8.6 MIDI SEQUENCE MODIFICATION FUNCTIONS

As described in the introductory notes to this section, the Concerto III’s sequencer allows you to

modify the main parameters of a recorded song using three Edit functions:

- TRANSPOSE: transposes the song by semitones.

- TEMPO: modifies the tempo of the song.

- CLEAR: deletes specific groups of bars from the tracks.

To access these functions, after loading a MIDI sequence with the sequencer (in Play or Record

mode), simply press the [EDIT] button and the display will show the menu:

which contains the three functions listed above. Use the [CURSOR] buttons to move the cursor and

[ENTER/YES] to recall the function you require.

TRANSPOSING THE KEY

To transpose the key of the loaded song, select the TRANSPOSE field from EDIT menu; the display

will show the video page:

Use the encoder to set the transposition value, bearing in mind that it is set in semitones.

After selecting the value you require, press [ENTER/YES] to proceed with modification and saving

of the song, or [EXIT/NO] to abort the whole procedure and return to display of the EDIT menu.

If the modification is started, the display will show a confirmation prompt:

Here again, press [ENTER/YES] to continue or [EXIT/NO] to abort the changes.

The system will then proceed to transpose the song:

52


after which it will ask you to enter the name of the new song:

Use the [CURSOR] buttons to move the cursor and the encoder to select the characters required.

Press [ENTER/YES] again to go ahead with the final saving of the song, during which the display

will show:

MODIFYING THE TEMPO

To modify the tempo of the currently loaded song, select the TEMPO field in the EDIT menu and

press [ENTER/YES]; the following video page will be displayed:

Use the encoder to enter the new value, then press [ENTER/YES] again to go ahead with saving the

song. The display will show a confirmation prompt:

Here again, press [ENTER/YES] to continue or [EXIT/NO] to abort the change and return to display

of the EDIT menu.

If you confirm the change, the display will show:

for the time it takes to make the changes, and then:

53


This video page allows you to enter the name of the modified song.

To do this, use the [CURSOR] buttons to move the cursor and the encoder to select the letter you

require.

Then press [ENTER/YES] to save the new song definitively.

DELETING GROUPS OF BARS

If you wish to delete given groups of bars from one or more tracks, recall the Clear function.

To do this, select the CLEAR field from the EDIT menu; the display will show:

consisting of the following parameters:

o TRACK: specifies the track on which you wish to delete the MIDI events in the interval of

bars set. Selecting “ALL” deletes all the data in all the tracks.

o FROM M: sets the number of the initial bar (measure) from which the deletion of the MIDI

events will start.

o TO M: sets the last bar number to be affected by the clear operation.

o MODE: selects the cancellation mode, as follows:

- DELETE: with this mode, all the MIDI events present after the deleted group of bars will

not be moved.

- ERASE: with this mode, all the MIDI events present after the deleted group of bars will be

repositioned from the bar specified with the FROM M parameter.

After setting the parameters you require, press [ENTER/YES] to proceed with the cancellation or

[EXIT/NO] to abort the whole procedure and return to display of the EDIT menu.

As for the other Edit functions, if you go ahead with the modification, the display will show a

confirmation prompt:

Pressing again [ENTER/YES] the system will procede with the change and the save on the disk

showing on the display:

54


IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE EDIT FUNCTIONS

- To avoid loss of synchronisation between the various tracks, an Erase cancellation can

only be carried out on the entire song. In this case, the Track field will be fixed at the ALL

value and it will not be possible to select individual tracks.

- Do not extract the floppy disk from the drive when reading operations are in progress

(when the LED on the drive is on); this may damage the magnetic medium.

- If a song is saved with a file name already present on the floppy during saving of

modifications, the following message will appear:

in which the system asks you if you wish to overwrite the original file (by pressing [ENTER/

YES]) or to abort the save operation (by pressing [EXIT/NO]).

8.7 ERROR MESSAGES - SEQUENCER SECTION
