CONFIGURING DIVISIONAL PISTONS and GENERAL PISTONS

This procedure enables pistons to control stops/drawknobs that are normally not controlled by
those pistons. Note: The Piston Configuration is common to all memories. E.g., (1) Divisional
Pistons can be configured to respond like General Pistons. (2) Divisional Pistons normally will
not remember the settings (on/off) of the Intermanual Couplers, (i. e., Swell to Great, Great to
Pedal). Divisional Pistons can be configured such that the Divisional Pistons will remember the
Intermanual Couplers' settings. (3) A Divisional Piston can be configured so that it will only
affect the Tremulant stops in all divisions. (4) A General Piston can be configured to respond like
a Divisional Piston.
Note 1: Changing the configuration of a piston will not affect the registrations previously
remembered by that piston prior to its reconfiguration.
Note 2: Reconfiguring a piston does not change its MIDI channel assignment.
EXAMPLES:
Configuring Divisional Pistons to become additional General Pistons:
Advance to the 'CONFIGURE PISTONS' window function.
Select all of the stops and drawknobs. Any stops/drawknobs not engaged, will not be able to be
registered later. While holding in the SET piston, press the Divisional piston that you want to
respond like a General Piston. Return to the main window to store General registrations to the
Divisional pistons you pressed (See Section A-4).
To add the SWELL TO GREAT Intermanual Coupler to the Great Divisional Pistons:
Advance to the 'CONFIGURE PISTONS' window function.
Select all of the Great Division stops/drawknobs and the SWELL TO GREAT intermanual
coupler. Press and hold the SET piston. While holding SET, press the Divisional Piston(s) that
you will use when finished to save registrations.
registrations to these Divisional Pistons, using combinations of stops/drawknobs and the SWELL
TO GREAT coupler.
To reconfigure a Divisional Piston so it controls only the Tremulant stops/drawknobs:
Advance to the 'CONFIGURE PISTONS' window function.
Select all of the organ's Tremulant Stops/Drawknobs. Next press and hold SET. While holding
SET, press a Divisional piston. Return to the main window. You can use this reconfigured
divisional piston to control just the Tremulant Stops without affecting any other stops.
