Playing the Organ

Using the Expression Pedal

You can connect an expression pedal to the rear panel EXPRESSION PEDAL jack

and use it to adjust the volume. Advancing the pedal away from yourself will

increase the volume, and returning it toward yourself will decrease the volume.

Using the Active Expression Function

Normally, when you use an expression pedal connected to the EXPRESSION

PEDAL jack, the Organ Voice and Other Tones will both gradually change in

volume. The VK-8 provides an Active Expression function, which you can use with

an expression pedal connected to the EXPRESSION PEDAL jack. The Active

Expression function lets you create tonal changes for greater expressiveness, and

allows you to emphasize the “forte” passages in your playing.

The VK-8 has two types of Active Expression settings.

❍

Applying the Active Expression Function to the Organ Voice

When you step on the expression pedal lightly, the Other Tones will sound. Depress

the pedal further to get the footage of the harmonic bars to gradually change.

Hold down the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] and [PEDAL] buttons,

and press the PERCUSSION [SLOW] button.

❍

Applying the Active Expression Function to the Other Tones

When you step on the expression pedal lightly, the organ voice will sound. Depress

the pedal some more, and the Other Voice will be added.

Hold down the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] and [PEDAL] buttons

and press the PERCUSSION [SOFT] button.

❍

Returning to the Normal Expression Pedal Function

Hold down the HARMONIC BAR PART [UPPER] and [PEDAL] buttons

and press the PERCUSSION [THIRD] button.

Even if you return the

expression pedal all the way

toward yourself, the organ

volume will not go to zero.
