91 PSR-2000/1000
Organ Flutes (PSR-2000 only)
In addition to the many organ voices in the ORGAN voice category, the PSR-2000/1000 has an ORGAN FLUTES voice.
The explanations here apply to step #3 on page 87.
■ Parameters
Organ Type This parameter specifies the type of organ tone generation to be simulated: Sine or Vintage.
Rotary SP Speed The Rotary SP Speed ([C]) button alternately switches between the slow and fast rotary speaker
speeds when a rotary speaker effect is selected for the Organ Flutes (see “DSP Type” below), and the
VOICE EFFECT [DSP] button is turned on (the Rotary SP Speed button has the same effect as the
VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button).
Vibrato On/Off This ([G]) button alternately turns the vibrato effect for the Organ Flutes voice ON or OFF.
Vibrato Depth Can be set to any of three levels via the Vibrato Depth ([H]) button. The button sequentially selects a
depth of “1”, “2”, or “3”.
Footage The footage settings determine the basic sound of the organ flutes.
The term “footage” is a reference to the sound generation of traditional pipe organs, in which the sound
is produced by pipes of different lengths (in feet). The longer the pipe, the lower the pitch of the sound.
Hence, the 16’ setting determines the lowest pitched component of the voice, while the 1’ setting
determines the highest pitched component. The higher the value of the setting, the greater the volume
of the corresponding footage. Mixing various volumes of the footages lets you create your own
distinctive organ sounds.
Volume (VOL) Adjusts the overall volume of the Organ Flutes. The longer the graphic bar, the greater the volume.
Response (RESP) The Response control affects both the attack and sustain portion of the sound, increasing or
decreasing the response time of the initial swell and release, based on the FOOTAGE controls. The
higher the value the slower the swell and release.
Vibrato Speed (VIB. SPEED) Determines the speed of the vibrato effect controlled by the Vibrato On/Off and Vibrato Depth above.
Mode The MODE control selects between two modes: FIRST and EACH. In the FIRST mode, attack is
applied only to the first notes played and held simultaneously; while the first notes are held, any
subsequently played notes have no attack applied. In the EACH mode, attack is applied equally to all
notes.
Attack (4’, 2 2/3’, 2’) The ATTACK controls adjust the attack sound of the ORGAN FLUTE voice. The 4’, 2 2/3 ‘and 2’
controls increase or reduce the amount of attack sound at the corresponding footages. The longer the
graphic bar the greater the attack sound.
Length (LENG) The LENGTH control affects the attack portion of the sound producing a longer or shorter decay
immediately after the initial attack. The longer the graphic bar the longer the decay.
Reverb Depth
Chorus Depth
DSP on/off
DSP Depth For details about the digital effects, see pages 57, 124.
DSP Type Determines the DSP effect type to be applied to the Organ Flutes voice. Normally this will be one of the
seven available Rotary Speaker effects. If any other type of effect is selected the Rotary SP Speed
([C]) button in the FOOTAGE/VOL/ATTACK display will not control rotary speaker speed. Instead, it will
have the same effect as the VOICE EFFECT [VARIATION] button.
Variation Variation Determines whether the DSP variation will be set to Slow or Fast when the Organ Flutes voice is
selected (when the Voice Set function is ON — page 143).
Value Sets the DSP variation parameter value (e.g., “LFO Freq” for a Rotary Speaker effect) when the DSP
variation is turned on.
EQ Low
EQ High The EQ parameters determine the Frequency and Gain of the Low and High EQ bands.
