Playing <Basic Operation>
The C-230 provides four separate sound sections: Organ (ORGAN BASS + CLASSIC ORGAN), Harpsichord, Fortepiano and
Others. Only one of the following sections can be used at any one time: Organ or Harpsichord or Fortepiano. The Others section
can be combined with the organ section (allowing you to play several sounds simultaneously). The Others section cannot be
combined with the Harpsichord or Fortepiano section.
The C-230 comes with 36 organ voices that can be selected using the 9 tilt
tabs. There are 4 voices per tilt tab, one of which can be assigned at a
time (see p. 28).
1. Press the lower part of the tilt tabs you wish to use.
The tilt tabs you activate light. You can activate several sounds at once if
you like.
2. To switch off the selected organ sounds, press the upper part of all tilt tabs that are lit.
The tilt tabs go dark.
See also “Additional functions for the Classic Organ sounds” on p. 25.
The C-230 features an ORGAN BASS section that can either be played via the keyboard or with an optional PK-5A dynamic
MIDI pedal unit. Here again, there are 4 voices for each of the 2 tilt tabs. And again, one of those voices can be assigned to the tilt
tab in question (see p. 28).
If you use the keyboard, the ORGAN BASS section is monophonic and can be played in the left half of the split keyboard, up to
the note that is set as “split point”.
1. Press the lower part of the ORGAN BASS tilt tabs you wish to use.
Now you can play the selected ORGAN BASS sound. The bass sound is added to the
selected Classic ORGAN sounds. It sounds the lowest note you play with your left hand
(it is monophonic).
2. To switch off the selected ORGAN BASS sound, press the upper part of the tilt tab that
lights.
The tilt tab goes dark.
