HR (non-lighted thumb piston)
The HR-piston is only found on instruments with wooden drawstops (Monarke models "Van
Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck").
By pressing this thumb piston, you change from a fixed (preset) or a free (capture)
combination to hand registration. As soon as you press the HR-piston, only the manually
switched on (drawn) stops will sound. As long as the HR-piston is on, stops can be
manually switched on or off.
HR+ = Hand registration + fixed or free combination
Just like the HR-piston, the thumb piston HR+ is only found on instruments with wooden
drawstops (Monarke models "Van Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck").
By switching on this thumb piston, the manually drawn stops are added to the selected
fixed (preset) combination. As long as the tumb piston HR+ remains pressed, stops can
be switched on or off manually.
When a fixed (capture) combination together with thumb piston HR+ is activated, stops
activated by means of the fixed combination piston, cannot be manually switched off. In
other words: the fixed combinations have precedence over hand registration.
Suppose you have selected the fixed combination PP (with e.g. the stops SUBBASS 16'
pedal, ROHRFLUTE 8' great and STOPPED FLUTE 8' swell). In that case switching off
manually ROHRFLUTE 8' will have no effect, if the thumb piston HR+ is on.
INT2 = Intonation 2
Thumb piston for selecting another intonation.
See also at "Intonation 2" and at "Choice of temperament".
KT = Keyboard transfer
By pressing this thumb piston, two (always the same) keyboards can be interchanged.
When the keyboard transfer is activated, the functions belonging to a certain division
remain with that division.
Using keyboard transfer may simplify playing certain music.
Example:
Usually the order of keyboards on a 3-manual instrument (from bottom to top) is choir-
great-swell. French organs, however, often have a different order of keyboards (great-
choir-swell). The music notation of French composers has taken this (French) keyboard
order into account. With the KT-piston the great and choir keyboards can be simply
interchanged.
M1 – M4
Thumb pistons with which a selected registration can be stored into a memory group (from
M1 to M4 inclusive). These thumb pistons are needed again to recall the registrations
stored into the memory.
See also at "Using the capture system".
MB = Manual Bass
Thumb piston for switching the coupler Manual Bass on or off.
See also at "Couplers".
MIDI's
The MIDI-stops (or switches) form a separate group of accessories.
See for their use the chapters "Application of MIDI" and "Programmable MIDI".
