Release all autoglide buttons.
30. The "Hawaii" effect and the master pitch control respectively
are the last two of the frequency controlling devices. Check
whether the master pitch control (on AP 1 G) varies the tone
by about a half-tone in either direction from the centre of
rotation. Depress the button "Hawaii II" and deflect the right-
hand foot lever on the swell pedal. The tone should drop by
about a half-tone and slowly return to normal. If the foot lever
is released prematurely the tone will return to normal pitch
much faster.
31. Repeat all test steps, starting with No. 18, for the tone
generator I (M/Man, L/Man and Pedals). The associated
switches are located in the 4th row from the top on the right
control panel. The slide controls " Slalom " and "Autoglide
Speed" are dual controls and serve both generators.
3.16 Testing of the Functions "Manual Couple"
"Orchestra Coupler" and "Ensemble Tuning"
The Galaxy is equipped with a manual coupler by which the stops
of the upper manual can be played on the middle manual, in
addition to the stops of the middle manual proper The coupler
works in one direction only, that is, the middle manual stops will not
appear on the upper manual.
1. Set up the middle manual for "Fixed Stops" and select, for
example, the Trombone 16:
2. Similarly, select a stop of a different footage, for example,
the Clarinet 8; on the upper manual.
3. Set both selectors " Drawbars/Fixed Stops" of either manual
to "Fixed Stops" (down).
AM 075 (Part)
4. Verify that the channel selector switches still are in the up
position, activating the right channel. The left channel is not
operating yet.
5. Play on both the U/Man and M/Man respectively. The
clarinet should sound on the U/Man and the trombone on the
M/Man. Adjust the volume controls (grey drawbars) to suit.
6. Depress the push button "Program Coupler" on the left
control panel (top right-hand corner). It should light up and
also should cause the button "Manual Coupler" on the right
control panel to light up whether it is depressed or not.
7. Play on the M /Man again. The clarinet should be heard in
addition to the trombone. The clarinet only will sound on the
U/Man. Play every key on the middle manual to test the
coupler action for the entire keyboard. Of course, the coupler
will "pull down" any desired stop or stops of the upper
manual and works for the drawbars too.
8. Turn the control "Orchestra Intonation" on the right control
panel while holding a key on the lower manual. The clarinet
should become detuned with respect to the trombone.
Return the control to the centre of rotation.
9. Sequentially depress the 4 buttons "Ensemble Tuning" from
left to right. The detuning should increase in discreet steps.
10. Depress the button "Orchestra Coupler" on the right control
panel (in addition to the "Program Coupler" on the left panel).
11. Play on the middle manual. The trombone should have
disappeared. In fact, the fixed stops of the M /Man are
completely disabled. Note: The switch " Drawbars/Fixed
Stops" of the M/Man is still active and should be left in the
down position (Fixed Stops) for the test to follow. Two
clarinets will sound when the M/M an is played. They are fed
from two different tone generators, keyed by two
independent keyers and voiced by two independent titters.
They can be detuned to any desired degree by means of the
