Hi, I've just very recently received my Pa1000 after waiting almost 8 months and have a couple of questions regarding the Drawbars Settings.

1: Is it possible to set the default to not have the Tone Noise Key On, Key Off and Leakage screen buttons selected? I prefer to play without these most of the time and don't want to have to deselect them manually every time I want to use Drawbars. The same question for the Percussion button.

2: I've noticed occasionally that sometimes when selecting the Rotor On/Off button and pushing on the Joy Stick, I can hear no change in the sound but at other times, it changes as expected. The same thing happens with the Slow/Fast screen button. Is this normal in the sense that it depends on other settings or am I perhaps doing something wrong? Hopefully, there is not some kind of intermittent fault.

I would appreciate any advice, please.

Regards,

Al

The rotary effect is one of the master / insert effect which is assigned to the joystick. Some of the organ sounds are velocity sensitive so depending on how hard / soft you press the keys will determine whether or not the rotary effect will sound.

Hi siebenhirter, thanks very much for your detailed reply. I've followed your instructions and was able to write the modified sound to my first User Set Bank and sure enough, it sounded the way I wanted.

The only problem is that it doesn't give me access to the digital drawbars to make changes while playing. So unless there is something different that I can try, I guess I would need to write a series of different drawbar settings to various User Set Bank locations. Or, resign myself to having to manually deselect the four buttons every time I switch back to The Drawbars Settings screen.

Again, my lack of experience here is probably very obvious so if there is something else I can try, please let me know.

Thanks and kind regards,

Al.

Yes, I have tried out those organ sounds and was quite impressed by most of them.

I'll try to set them up for easy access as you suggest but now have to concentrate on picking out sounds for my first 'gig' this Friday. In the last hour or so, I have been asked to play at the funeral of a friend. I've done this before at other funerals but normally used a digital piano or organ at the church. I only play in a few keys (to my shame) so having a transpose function is usually essential.

I had intended being there as one of the mourners but now have to take my days old Pa1000 along so need to set it up as best I can. At least I only need to think about sounds as rhythms won't be required.

Some of the information you have given me will most likely come in useful......my only problem is getting the time to implement it.

Anyway, thanks again for your help.....it's much appreciated.

Regards,

Al
