Tremulants; The Continuo Piston; Solo Piston - Rodgers Windsor 840 Pipe Augmented Owner's Manual

TREMULANTS
'fremulants can be most useful when judiciously used. Each manual division has an independent Tremulant.
When turned on, Tremulants affect only the stops in the division where that stop tablet is located. Each indepen-
dent Tremulant is adjustable for both speed and depth. It is recommended that these adjustments be made by AUTHO-
RIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.
The Flute Tremulant Full tablet affects all the Flute voices on the manual divisions of the organ. It is a deeper and
faster tremulant than those mentioned above and is useful where Evangelistic music is used. It also has independent speed
and depth controls.
THE CONTINUO PISTON
The name of this accessory device has been borrowed from the ancient term "Basso Continuo" meaning tho-
roughbass. When this lighted piston (located under the Great manual) is pressed, any stops or couplers on the Pedal Organ
will sound from the lowest key being played in the bass of the Great manual, providing a Pedal Bass without having to
actually use the feet. Rodgers microprocessor circuitry prevents its Ujumping" allowing repeated bass notes to be played
with proper effect.
In its normal setting, the CONTINUO affects keys 1-24 of the Great manual, but its compass is programmable. As
few notes as 1-13, or as many notes as 1-32 may be programmed. The procedure for programming the compass is as
follows:
1. Hold in SET and press CONTINUO. The CONTINUO piston will start flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While CONTINUO is flashing, press any key which corresponds to the highest note to which you wish the compass to
extend. You may select any note from key 13 to key 32. It\fter you have pressed the key, the CONTINUO piston will
shut off.
NOTE: When you press the key to set the compass, no sound will be heard, so that you will not make a disturbance if
you program the compass during a performance.
4. To use the new compass, press the CONTINUO piston.
NOTE: When the organ is turned off, the compass of the CONTINUO will revert to 24 notes.
SOLO PISTON
\Vhen this lighted piston (located under the Great manual) is pressed, it allows any stop or coupler of the Swell
Organ (including the Choir/Positiv to Swell) to sound from the highest key being played on the Great manual. Thus, a solo
melody and an accompaniment can be played from the same manual. The unique control allows the player to repeat notes
without the SOLO "jumping" so use of this device does not require a special technique.
In its normal setting, the SOLO affects keys 25-61 of the Great manual, but its compass is programmable, and may
be extended downward to key 13, or stopped at key 49. The procedure for programming the compass is as follows:
1. Hold in SET and press SOLO. The SOLO piston will start flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While SOLO is flashing, press the key which corresponds to the lowest note to which you wish the compass to
extend. You may select any note from key 13 to key 49. After you have pressed the key, the SOLO piston will shut off.
NOTE: When you press the key to set the compass, no sound will be heard, so that you will not make a disturbance if
you program the compass during a performance.
4. To use the new compass, press the SOLO piston.
NOTE: When the organ is turned off, the compass of the SOLO will revert to keys 25-61.
