Hi Dave, you've just burst my bubble. There I was thinking "Gee, this Dave Amels bloke is clever,... he thinks of everything" and then you say that two very handy features on the V5 weren't planned! Pretty amazing coincidences. You must lead a charmed life.
Thanks for responding to my post

PS ... I still think you're clever :-)

Hi all.

The V5 is an intriguing little beast. I've just uncovered another hidden
feature. Due to a little carelessness, I broke the tuning pot on the back
panel leaving it permanently (or so I thought) about a semitone flat. I
played it for a while like this all the time cursing my stupidity, when I
adjusted the highest drawbar.. The most wonderful thing happened.. This
drawbar adjusts the pitch of the V5 when the pot is broken. Sure, its a
little limiting on a permanent basis, but it's enough to get you thru a gig
if ever you need it. I've since replaced the pot and the unit works as
before.
------------------------

- That's because of leakage from the CV of the 1' pot to the then high
impedance input you inavertantly created by breaking the tuning pot.

------------------------

Incidentally, the other hidden features that have come to my attention are:
The modulation wheel on my controller keyboard controls the top six drawbars
all together, so it's easy to pull full organ quickly. (this one had me
worried on my first gig with my new controller when the modulation wheel was
up without my knowing, Luckily I found the problem) and the other is

------------------------
- This is intentional. Actually it proforms the V3 morph fuction to the
aux set of drawbars. They default to 888888888 but you can set them to
anything you want via CC.

------------------------
when playing in multitimbral mode, the lower keyboard preset can be changed
from 848000000 to 808000000 by hitting the split key twice.

------------------------

- I think this is a coincidence. Hitting the button twice should bring you
back to where you were before pressing it.

------------------------
Is this just the tip of the iceberg, or are there more? Any other V5 users
out there who have discovered any more...... or maybe Dave Amels might be
able to enlighten us if he's still on the list.

Cheers -Randal
