For example, only the Swell stops can be programmed onto a Swell divisional piston. Any Great stops turned on while selecting or setting a Swell divisional piston will be unaffected or changed. To set a Divisional piston: First, only turn on stops within a single division you wish to save within a registration.

- Page 15 The Reed Chorus includes those reed tones designed to be used in the ensemble buildup. Not all reed voices are ensemble tones. A Clarinet, for example, is usually a solo stop. The various Trumpets, Clairons, Bassons, etc., are usually ensemble voices that add brilliance, power, and incisiveness to the sound.

FULL ORGAN Due to the immense capabilities of the organ, every stop and coupler on the instrument could be used simultaneously without distortion, if the organ is adjusted properly. In good registration practice, however, the organist would not haphazardly put on every stop on the instrument. For best results, listen and include only those stops that really contribute to the fullness and brilliance of the ensemble. -
