IMPORTANT SAFETY & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS WARNING: When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all of the Safety and Installation Instructions and Explanation of Graphic Symbols before using the product. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a power supply cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. [. . . ] There are several options: Fixed Played Last Aftertouch Ctrl 117 All notes sound at the same volume set with the Fixed Value parameter. This Controller may be assigned to the controller pedal or a front-panel slider (see page 3-13). The default Velocity Mode is Played. Fixed Value Determines the arpeggiated note velocity used when Velocity Mode is set to Fixed. All of this may seem a little confusing, but if you spend some time with it you can get some very musical results. Don't be afraid to experiment! 3-9 Using Your RG100/V110 KB3 Drawbar Organ Simulation KB3 Drawbar Organ Simulation The RG100/V110 features a special simulation of the classic drawbar organ used in jazz, rock, and gospel music. Unlike other sounds in the instrument, the KB3 sounds are not created with samples but instead with a complex series of digital signal processing algorithms that accurately recreate the drawbar sound. The sound timbre is altered with controllers known as drawbars, which refers back to the traditional electromechanical organs. Using KB3 To access the KB3 model, press the KB3 button on the front panel. In this mode, the four sliders are automatically assigned to change drawbar values. Note that unlike other values controlled by the sliders, the drawbar sound will increase as you pull the sliders down and decrease as you push them up. To enable you to see the settings of all 9 drawbars, press the Right button next to the display. A special drawbar edit page will be displayed, with graphical representation of the various drawbars, along with their organ pipe-length designations. You can also see the drawbar edit page by pressing and holding the KB3 button. However, if you are using the RG100/V110 to create songs, or to play with other instruments, you may wish to alter the default settings. What is Reverb? Reverb is short for reverberation, which refers to the natural echoing effect of sound reflecting off the walls of an enclosed space. These reflections blend together to produce a mix or "wash" of sound that adds warmth and ambiance to music. The RG100/V110 simulates a number of different performance spaces, from small to large. These are grouped into general categories: Room, Stage, Hall, and Space. When you choose a sound using the sound selection or Up/Down buttons, a reverb is chosen along with that sound. The category of the reverb is shown in the Reverb lights directly above the Reverb button. You can choose another type of reverb by pressing the Reverb button, which will cycle through the 3-11 Using Your RG100/V110 Reverb and Effects categories. After the last choice (Space), pressing the button again will turn the Reverb lights off, indicating that no reverb is currently applied (this is referred to as a dry sound). Another press selects a Room reverb. What is an Effect? The RG100/V110 provides simulations of a number of popular electronic effects which are commonly used in amplified music to add interest to sounds. These are often applied to electric organ, guitar, and synthesizer sounds, and less frequently to acoustic instruments such as piano, drums, or horns. The categories of effects are: Chorus: a mixing effect simulating two identical instruments playing together Rotary: a tremolo/vibrato effect simulating a rotating organ speaker Echo: a repetition and fading of a sound Special: other specialized electronic effects such as flanging Effects are chosen the same way as reverb, by pressing the Effects button to change categories.
