I've started noticing that I can get the internal speakers on my organ to maintain a phasing beat by holding one pedal note.
If I hold down a minor second somewhere in the bottom octave of the pedals (with 16' Tibia and Diaphone stops selected) until the beat starts and then release the bottom note of the interval (play A and A# then release the A and continue holding the A#), the beat will continue even though I'm only holding one note (the A#).
It doesn't work if I release the top note. It doesn't work on any of the manuals, with any of the pedal reeds, or any of the 8' pedal stops. It also only works for 5 or 6 pairs of notes in the bottom octave. I haven't tried it with different expression levels or with very many other stops.
Has anyone else ever noticed this on an electric organ? Is it unique to internal speaker organs, digital organs, 15" woofers, or something else? Could it be that I need to turn down the bass a bit for the pedal division?
It's not a big issue but I'm curious to know what's going on. I definitely can't be lazy when I play up a chromatic bass line.
I will try to get a recording of it posted.
Edit: Here is a link to the recording
