A TIP FROM LOWREY:

4. COLOR TOUCH SCREEN

When you turn the instrument on, the Tribute screen, below left, evolves during startup. When the Tribute

is fully powered and is ready to be played the Power Up Screen, below right, appears.

The Color Touch Screen is touch-sensitive and is your primary entry point for many player features.

The Power Up Screen provides some basic information:

Tempo: The numbers under the word Tempo will indicate the tempo (speed) when a Style is being used.

Chord: The letter under the word Chord indicates the Lower Keyboard chord being played. The bass pedal,

if being played, is displayed to the right of the chord display, preceded by a slash (C / Eb).

Transpose: The letter under the word Transpose indicates the key that the instrument is set to. In addition,

you will see pictures of buttons with these labels: Song Setup, Style List, Genius, USB, and Keypad. This

is the Power-Up screen.

Display Contrast

There is a DISPLAYCONTRAST dial located just to the right of the screen.

Turn the dial to adjust the screen to a setting that is best for you.

The Expression Pedal controls the overall

volume level of the organ. The volume

level of specific sections is controlled by

the individual volume level controls found

on the panel and in the Graphic Mixer sec-

tion. If the overall maximum volume level

of the organ is too loud, use the Master

buttons in the Graphic Mixer to adjust the

volume to your liking.

The Preset Information feature displays a description of the upper

keyboard sounds (in groups of 11) in the General Presets, Category

Presets, Bank Presets, and style set ups.

to display a listing of the 11 presets currently being used. (If no pre-

Preset Information

PRESETS

The Pistons are factory set and can not be changed. Press one of the numbered buttons. The information is

displayed on the touch screen.

What Is Preset 0? There are 10 Piston buttons and 11 Presets. 0 is the power up sound. Just turning the

Tribute on gives you that setup. The same is true, as you will see, for the Banks, Categories, and Style

Setups.

Anytime you are using a Preset, you can make any change you wish. For example, you may wish to adjust

volume levels (Graphic Mixer) or select different sounds (Orchestral, Solo, or Tabs). When you find a com-

bination you like you can always save it as a Bank Preset.

Style Setups work only when a Style has been selected.

Style Setups performs two functions:

1. Provides a registration for the upper keyboard and lower right (split) melody to complement the Style

chosen. With the Style Setups button illuminated yellow (stand-by) pressing any Style button

causes the button to be illuminated red (red indicates the feature is Ready to go) and creates an

appropriate registration for the upper keyboard. You never have to press another button in order to play.

2. Turns each of the Pistons buttons into a different setup. With any Style button selected and the Style

Setups button illuminated red, the 10 Pistons provide 10 more dynamic setups for each style.

Style Setups activate the lower Keyboard Split feature and assigns sounds to the right half of the lower key-

board. The factory-set split location is at the third A key. See Feature Page 7 - Set Key Splits on pages 83

and 53.

Style Setups provide a complete registration (sounds, volumes, effects, etc.) on the upper

keyboard for each of the Tribute’s 96 Styles. The Style Setups button is directly to the

left of the ten Pistons buttons. Each time you turn on the organ or after pressing the

Reset button, the Style Setups button is illuminated yellow. Yellow indicates the feature

is standing-by.

Categories give you 132 upper keyboard registrations. Categories are used in combination with the 10 Piston

buttons and feature 11 registrations per category.

Pressing any of the first four buttons creates 11 presets, consistent with each category. To display all 11 pre-

set names from any category selected on the touch screen press the Custom 3 button, located to the left of

the lower keyboard.

Categories set up a sound on the lower keyboard, to the right of the split point, in addition to the upper key-

board sound. This sound complements the upper keyboard sound and is like having a third keyboard from

which to play.

Category Presets can be used with styles, as an alternative to style setups, or used alone without a style.

The 132 CATEGORY PRESET sounds in the Tribute can not be changed. You will never lose them.

In some cases, the preset names displayed on the Touch Screen will be abbreviated.

More More

Pressing the MORE button reveals eight addition-

al categories in the touch screen. Traditional will

be boxed-in indicating it is the category currently

active. To select a category other than Traditional

simply touch one of the other seven category

names on the screen, causing it to be boxed. The

selected category’s Preset 0 will be activated.

Pressing the Piston buttons, 1 - 10 gives you 10

more presets.

Banks give you 44 upper keyboard registrations. Just like categories, Banks are used in combination with

the 10 Piston buttons. Each Bank button (A, B, C, D) holds 11 dynamic registrations.

In addition to the registrations placed in the BANK PRESET buttons by Lowrey, you have the option of

changing and saving your own registration creations using the MEMORIZE button.

How to save your own registrations using the Memorize button and how to recover the original Bank Presets

is found in the section Customizing A Bank Preset, page 18 and Resetting Bank Presets, page 20.

Press a BANK PRESET button (A- D). The first preset for the selected bank, Preset 0, will be activated. Press

the GENERAL PRESET buttons to activate the other 10 presets. The organ is completely set up and ready to

play!

In some cases, the preset names displayed on the Touch Screen will be abbreviated.

You may also press either Scroll button to move through the song list. Press and hold either Scroll button to

move rapidly through the song list.

Press the song title, on the screen, you desire. The organ will be set up and ready to play with a style and

registration. To return the screen to the regular display, press the Feature (Clear) button.

Note: The preset given for a song title can be used for other songs. For example, the preset for Abide With

Me can be used for many hymn titles. Sheet music for the 550 song titles is not provided.

The 550 song titles in the Song Set Up database are listed in the back of the book in alphabetical order.

Selecting a style and registration for a song can be a challenge. The Song

Setup feature may be able to assist with a selection of 200 song titles,

each preset with an appropriate style and registration. Press the screen

button Song Setup. Four song titles will appear on the screen.

The songs are listed in alphabetical order. Press the screen button Next

ALPHABET TOUCH SCREEN

The Alphabet Touch Screen feature makes searching the lists of Styles (and Song Setup Presets) much easi-

er. Rather than using the Scroll buttons to navigate the long lists of options, you can use the Alphabet Keypad

to zero in on the desired title.

1. Touch the Keypad button on the Color Touch Screen. The numeric Keypad will appear.

2. In the upper left corner of the screen, touch the word Alphabet. The Alphabet Keypad will appear,

along with screen buttons labeled Song Setup and Style List.

Here is an example of how the Alphabet Keypad can be used to quickly find the song title Silent Night

in the Song Setup list...

1. Press the Alphabet Keypad button labeled STU one time. The letter Swill be displayed at the top

of the touch screen.

2. Press the red colored screen button labeled Song Setup located in the bottom left corner of the

screen. The first song titles, in alphabetical order, from the Song Setup list that begin with the

letter ‘S’ will appear.

3. Touch the title Silent Night on the screen to choose that setup.

4. Instead of choosing the Silent Night setup you may press the Scroll Up or Scroll Down button to

display other titles in that portion of the list.

HERE IS A RECAP OF THE PRESET FEATURES

Turning the Tribute on gives you a beautiful Lowrey organ sound. The Preset features are very powerful

and valuable. By simply pressing one or two buttons the entire instrument is set up and ready to play. All

the sounds, musical effects, and volume settings are selected and set so you can sit down and play right away.

Pistons, Categories, Style Setups and Song Setups can not be changed.

You will never accidentally lose any of these registrations.

Banks can be customized and saved in order to create your own favorite registrations. You can always return

to the default registrations, which you can never lose. Your custom registrations can be saved to a USB stick.

Style Setups work along with a Style. Each Style has 11 Style Setups, giving you a total of 1,056 Preset

sounds for the upper keyboard, which complements whichever style is selected.

PISTONS: Power Up and buttons 1 through 10

CATEGORIES : 11 for each Category- Sacred, Gospel, Praise.

Press More and to display eight more categories.

BANKS: 11 for each Bank- A, B, C, D.

Any of the Banks buttons ( A- B - C - D ) can be changed from the factory registrations to those of your own

creation. Customizing a Bank involves the lettered Banks buttons, the numbered Pistons buttons, and the

red-colored Memorize button.

3. Decide where you want to save your registration (Bank Letter and Piston Number). Press that Letter

button and then press that Number button. The screen will display the Letter and Number you have

selected. For example, if you pressed the Bank button Aand Piston button 1the Color Touch Screen

will read as illustrated above.

Pressing Bank button Aor (B, C, D) and no other numbered button saves your preset into that Bank

letter (Preset 0).

button below it containing the word No. To include the Transpose feature when you save your registration

press the picture of the button. The word No will change to Yes. If you change your mind, touch either screen

button again and the word No will again appear.

You may abort the procedure at any time before completion by pressing the Feature (Clear) button.

the word Yes press the red Memorize button, turning it off. The

Color Touch Screen will appear as illustrated to the right.

Transpose feature as part of your registration you may skip

step four and simply press the red Memorize button, turning it

off, with the word‘No’ displayed under ‘With Style’ and ‘With

Transpose.’

4. When you are using any of the Styles and/or the Transpose feature

as part of your registration, you must tell the organ to include them.

At the bottom left of the Color Touch Screen,you will see the words

With Style with the picture of a button below it containing the word No.

To include the style when you save your registration press the picture

of the button. The word No will change to Yes.

TRY THIS: Try the following steps to see how to customize a Banks but-

ton.
