User Manual
The Choir Master is a music player for compatible MIDI instruments.
In addition to all the common functions of a hardware sequencer, it also has
peculiar features allowing users without a musical training to play songs with
the flexibility of an organ/piano player.
Particular features are:
• play only certain parts of the (verses can be selected, intro and ending can
be activated/deactivated);
• real time advancement control of each music beat via button or pedal
(Beat Advance);
• real time advancement control of each syllable of the lyrics via button or
pedal (Note Advance);
• select the stops used to play the song as an expert organist would do, with
just two buttons.
• adjust the song's tempo without modifying the coherence of the track,
even in the case of tempo variations in the same track.
Furthermore, it is possible to:
• show the song lyrics on both internal or external (optional) displays. A
cursor indicates the current syllable;
• show on the external display (optional) the digits assigned to the current
song, or any other code (e.g. the page on which the hymn can be found);
• select a song or playlist just by pressing one of the 16 quick selection buttons.
The four memory banks can memorize up to 64 track that can be recalled
through quick selection, without browsing files and folder. Therefore, Choir
Master can be also used by people with little proficiency with electronic
devices.
When lacking an organist/pianist, somebody with just some musical experience
can use the Choir Master to provide an excellent accompaniment while avoiding
the usual and too often inadequate backing track. In particular, the Choir Master
works well as accompanist of choir and solo singing, during religious services.
