Here, the sounds you select for each slot will be played simultaneously whenever you press a note
between C1-C6 – in other words, they are ‘stacked’ on top of each other.
Slot 1
Setting: chooses a combination of drawbars for slot 1. You can also disable slot 1 by changing its Setting
menu to ‘Off’.
The numbers in the Setting menu represent the drawbars and their volume. Each drawbar in the
sampled organ generates a harmonic. So, for example, 008000000 means that the third drawbar, which
generates the second harmonic above the fundamental tone, is at full volume, while the other drawbars
are silent.
Bass pedal sounds can also be loaded into slots. See the section below, ‘How the Bass Pedals Work’.
Volume: sets the level in decibels of the sound in slot 1.
Tune: sets the tuning of the sound in slot 1, between -/+ 5 semitones.
Slot 2
Setting: chooses a combination of drawbars for slot 2. You can also disable slot 2 by changing its Setting
menu to ‘Off’.
Volume: sets the level in decibels of the sound in slot 2.
Tune: sets the tuning of the sound in slot 2, between -/+ 5 semitones.
When the mode button is set to Split, the GUI looks as follows:
Here, the sounds you select for each slot will be played in different areas of the keyboard – in other
words, they are ‘split’.
Key: sets the note between C1-C5 on which the sound in slot 1 ends and the sound in slot 2 begins. The
highest available split point is C5, so that there is always at least one octave (C5-C6) in which slot 2 is
playable.
MIDI learn: when this button is pressed, Gospel Drawbars waits for you to play a note between C1-C5,
then assigns the split point to that note. The Key dial will update to show the selected note.
