Chorale 8
Viscount
As described in the previous section, the right-hand panel beside the manuals contains the main control
unit for all the
Chorale 8
The organ features a large set of control functions allowing the user to customise the instrument in the
most suitable way, adapting it to his or her own requirements. These are not mere general settings, but
setup functions that configure every part of the organ: for the sound setup, for example, the user can
select the instrument's musical style, or change the registers assigned to the stops and then regulate their
individual volumes.
The levels, equalisation and channel routing of the remote outputs can also be adjusted.
The organ also allows complete, unrestricted configuration of the MIDI interface, as well as the familiar
settings of the tremulant and reverb effects, the manuals and the pedal board, the internal graphic equalizer
and the piston functions.

3.1 SWITCHING ON AND MAIN VIDEO PAGE

When the organ is switched on using the [POWER] switch on the left-hand panel, the instrument becomes
operational after a few seconds, during which time all the amplification circuits are activated and the
internal systems are configured. While this is taking place, the display shows the introductory screen:
on which the release of the firmware installed on the instrument can always be checked.
After the switch-on procedure is complete, the main video page will be displayed:
containing the following display fields:
o MEMORY BANK: this parameter can be used to select one of the eight memory banks for saving
the combinations.
Therefore, as well as providing a total of 48 general and 192 dedicated combinations, this function is
especially useful if the instrument is used by more than one organist, since each of them will be able
to save his or her own programming settings in a different Memory Bank.
o TRANSPOSER: key transposer with a range of +5 / -6 semitones (adjustments in steps of one
semitone).
