turned on by using manual pistons located beneath the Swell manual directly above
the Cancel button. The pistons are reversible, meaning that pressing them will turn
the corresponding Tutti on or off. The Cancel button will also turn off the Tuttis.
Pressing Tutti II will cancel Tutti I. Red signal lights, appropriately labeled and
located on the right side of the console to the left of the expression indicators, turn
on when Tutti I or II is in operation. A second set of Tuttis can be programmed by
the organist. Like the Crescendo, indiscriminate use of these devices should be
avoided.
SECOND VOICING
In addition to the comprehensive stop specification of the MDS-30-LDS, there are
a variety of percussion stops that can be accessed from the Swell manual using the
Swell Percussion Voices. The second voices are accessed from drawknobs in the
Swell division. The stopnames are printed on the drawknobs in red superscript as
follows: Handbells, Harp, and Celesta. The Swell Percussion Voices are activated
by first moving the Swell Percussion Voices rocker tablet to the "on" position, and
then drawing the desired stop in the Swell division.
CELESTES
Celestes are created by using two sounds, one tuned slightly sharp or flat of the
other, creating a warm, undulating, "celestial" effect. Drawing the Viola Celeste II
(8') in the Swell Division or the Flute Celeste II (8') in the Great division will both
create beautiful celeste sounds.
