Reversibles; Expression Shoes; All Swells To Swell; Crescendo - Rodgers 835 Manual

The Rodgers 835 is equipped with reversible pistons and toe pistons. These control
certain couplers, stops and functions. Press the piston or toe piston to turn on, and press again
to turn off. All reversible pistons light when engaged.
The Rodgers 835 has two expression shoes. The left shoe controls the voices in the
Great/Pedal division, and the middle shoe controls the voices in the Swell division.
For ease of expression control using only one shoe, press the ALL SWELLS tab. When it
is lit, the Swell, Great and Pedal divisions are expressed with the Swell expression shoe.
The slightly raised shoe to the right of the Swell expression shoe is the Crescendo shoe,
which gradually adds a pre-determined selection of stops as it is pressed forward. It does not
affect the stops already in use on the organ but merely adds to them. Stops added by the
Crescendo do not light or move.
There is a lighted Crescendo/Tutti indicator located on the back coupler rail to the far
right of the tilt tabs above the swell manual. There are eight lighted green segments to
indicate the progressive stages of the Crescendo as the pedal is depressed.
The Crescendo must be unlocked to set a crescendo sequence. Once the sequence is set,
it may be locked again to prevent accidental change.
 UNLOCKING THE CRESCENDO:
1. Press and hold the ZIMBEL piston for approximately five seconds until
"CRESCENDOS LOCKED" appears in the Console Display.
2. While continuing to hold ZIMBEL, rotate the Alpha Dial either direction until the
Console Display reads "CRESCENDOS UNLOCKED."
3. Release the ZIMBEL piston. The Crescendo is unlocked.
 SETTING THE CRESCENDO SEQUENCE:
1. Press and hold the SET piston.
2. Press the ZIMBEL piston. The piston flashes, and the Console Display reads:
