Introduction Congratulations on your decision to purchase a new JOHANNUS organ. You are now the owner of an instrument with a well-chosen and balanced selection of stops. This organ gives you the opportunity to perform the full repertoire of classical and liturgical organ music.
You can lock the organ without using the key. However, the key is necessary to open the organ. Therefore, always take care that the key is not left within the console before depressing the lock. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO...

The tremulants are meant to vibrate the sound of the organ especially with slow or soft music. Every division has its own independent tremulant. When you use couplers and/or the CF piston the tremulants will be coupled to the corresponding keyboards. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO...
The Gospel Organ stop has it’s own independent tremolo. This special stop belongs to the swell division (Opus 5/10/20 AGO) or to the choir division (Opus 30 AGO). When you use couplers (and/or the CF piston on the Sweelinck 5/10/20 AGO) the Gospel Organ Tremolo will be coupled to the corresponding keyboards.
‘amplified’ and ‘colored’ by a tube (resonator). Reeds with a conical resonator are: Bombarde, Trumpet, Schalmei, etc. The group of cylindrical resonators are: Fagotto, Cromorne, Krummhorn, etc. The following reeds have a short resonator: Regal, Vox Humana, Ranket, etc. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO...
Although these special voices are no standard pipe organ voices, nevertheless they can be seen as an enrichment of your organ. On the Opus 5/10/20 AGO, the Chimes, the Harpsichord, the Strings and the Gospel Organ are added to the Swell division.
You can avoid this by using the FA thumb piston. As long as this piston is switched on, you can only switch the couplers and tremulants on or off by hand. By pushing the FA thumb piston again its function will be switched off again. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO...
When pushing the “0" piston longer all stops will be switched off at once. Exceptions are: the couplers and the tremulants when the FA piston is switched on and the stops Chorus, Intonation 2 and the MIDI. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO...
TUTTI piston This toe stud has the same function as the T thumb piston of the fixed combinations. CAPTURE pistons (Except with Opus 5 AGO) These toe studs have the same function as the memory pistons 1 thru 8. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual...
The volume of the device that is connected to the AUX IN cannot be adjusted by the expression pedals or the VOLUME control (except external devices that are controlled by the organ’s MIDI OUT). AUX OUT This output is meant to connect an external stereo amplifier. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO...
EXT. REV. The connection EXTERN REVERB is specifically for the JOHANNUS external surround acoustics device. This system, that works with 4 independent loudspeaker boxes in the room, creates a realistic acoustical impression of a concert hall, church or cathedral. It is not recommended to use this output for other purposes.
12 quints have been undertuned and all tierces have been overtuned to keep the octave pure. Equal temperament is standard on the Johannus organ. In addition you have a choice out of a Romantic voicing and a Baroque voicing. On an instrument with Equal temperament you may play in any key.
! Display ! Thumb piston SET ! Thumb pistons 1 thru 8 (Opus 5 AGO: thumb pistons 1 thru 7) With the capture system you can program 32 personal registrations per division (divisionals) as well as for the entire organ (generals). These registrations can be recalled at any time. The generals as well as the divisionals have four memory banks to be chosen with the pistons - and +.
3. Then choose the memory number (e.g. push piston 3 of the swell division). In the registration you recalled you may add or remove stops by hand, On the Opus 5 AGO the recalling of a personal registration goes as follows: 1. Determine the setter combination you want to recall (e.g. 3).
Reeds which have been switched on by the general crescendo can be switched off by the RO (Reeds Off) switch. The standard stop combination of each step within the general crescendo cannot be changed by the user. JOHANNUS JOHANNUS User’s Manual Opus 5, 10, 20 and 30 AGO...
The MIDI-stops are the last in the group of stops of the Pedal, Great, Swell and Choir (only for Opus 30). The MIDI stops have a number. The MIDI number for Great on the OPUS 5, 10 and 20 is number 1 (for Opus 30 the MIDI Great is number 2). This number indicates the MIDI channel used to transfer key information through MIDI SEQ.
MIDI stop that was already programmed in the capture. Make the memory accessable by turning the MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the right (not applicable on Opus 5 AGO). The SET piston will light up to indicate the memory can be accessed.
10. Close the memory by turning the key switch MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the left and eventually remove the key from the switch (not applicable on Opus 5 AGO). The light in the SET piston will go off to indicate that the memory is not accessable anymore.
