    ALLEN ORGAN COMPANY For more than sixty years--practically the entire history of electronic organs-- Allen Organ Company has built the finest organs that technology would allow. In 1939, Allen built and marketed the world’s first electronic oscillator organ. The tone generators for this instrument used two hundred forty-four vacuum tubes, contained about five thousand components, and weighed nearly three hundred pounds.

    I. ORGAN STOPS PITCH FOOTAGE The number appearing on each stop, along with its name, indicates the “pitch” or “register” of the particular stop. Organs can produce notes of different pitches from a single playing key. When this sound corresponds to the actual pitch of the played key, the stop is referred to as being of 8’...

    Your Allen organ’s capture system lets you set stop registration combinations in each of its available capture memories. The L-123 has a set of six (6) General pistons located under the left side of the Swell manual and four (4) Divisional pistons for both the Swell and Great divisions centrally located under both the Swell and Great manuals.
  • Page 6 SETTING DIVISIONAL PISTONS Divisional pistons are different in that they only affect the stops of a single division. For example, only the Swell stops can be programmed onto a Swell divisional piston. Any Great stops turned on while selecting or setting a Swell divisional piston will be unaffected or changed. To set a Divisional piston: First, only turn on stops within a single division you wish to save within a registration.

    Acoustic Portrait™ begins with a sampling process using impulse responses that measure an actual room’s acoustic properties. These measurements are then stored in the organ's computer memory. Through an advanced real-time mathematical process called “convolution”, the acoustics of the sampled room actually become an integral part of the organ’s sound, producing a noticeably smoother, more natural result than synthetic reverb.

  • Page 65: Changing The Midi Base Channel

    6. Changing the MIDI Base Channel This function allows you to change the setting of the MIDI Base Channel. The Base Channel is a reference point to establish the positioning of the other 15 MIDI channels on the organ. On Allen Organs, the Base Channel equals the Swell Division's channel of transmission (i.e., if the Base Channel = 1, then the Swell Channel = 1, if the Base Channel = 2, then the Swell Channel = 2, etc.).
  • Page 66: Midi Sustain Kick Switch (Optional)

    POLY-VOLUME — This is the normal expression mode setting where the expression data is distributed among the appropriate MIDI channels. POLY-VELOCITY — This setting should be selected if you are using a percussion-type voice from a sound module or an external MIDI keyboard. For example, if a digital piano sound were played from the organ keyboard through MIDI Channel 1, the piano could be made to sound more realistic.
  • Page 67: Organ Local Off

    OFF will not allow MIDI Sustain messages to be transmitted, ON will allow MIDI sustain messages to be transmitted on a given keyboard (manual) or MIDI channel. For example, when a PIANO voice in an external MIDI device (voice module) is selected and the MIDI sustain for that given MIDI channel (division) is turned ON, and the foot controlled sustain lever is actuated, the piano sound will slowly decay.
  • Page 68: Transmission/Reception Of Individual Stop Data

    10. Transmission/Reception of Individual Stop Data This function allows the organist to turn on/off the transmission and reception of individual stop data, known in MIDI terminology as "Non-Registered Parameters". In some cases individual stop data (on/off) from the organ may conflict with data from an external MIDI device.

    Under normal circumstances, MIDI sound modules should be connected to the switched MIDI port, labeled MIDI OUT 2. Doing so allows the organist to disable the sending of MIDI keying data from the organ to the sound module. Devices such as MIDI sequencers should be connected to the unswitched MIDI port, labeled MIDI OUT 1, eliminating the necessity of having to draw the MIDI stop controls before recording a digital sequence.
