Command Central of the Organ
The Allen Console Controller™ has kept pace with the many digital technology advances made in Allen consoles. It uses a common-sense approach to operating as a control for the organ's brain. The transposer knob, buttons and view screen may look intimidating, but they are powerful tools that make it easy to set the capture action, access memories, and reconfigure pistons. But there is more that this "black box" can do for organists. If you are into MIDI, the Console Controller makes it easy to set presets from MIDI modules to each organ piston (on each memory!). When you need to use these MIDI voices you can access them simply with the push of a piston. Another feature of the Console Controller is "Configure Pistons." Are there times when you wish you had more General pistons at your disposal? With two steps you can "configure" Divisional pistons to operate as general pistons. The Console Controller™ offers you many benefits. Start exploring them today! |
