QUICK TERMS
Manual: an organ keyboard
Swell: the upper manual [B] and associated stops [E]
Great: the lower manual [A] and associated stops [G]
Pedal: the pedal keyboard and associated stops [C]
Couplers link the stops from one division to another, i.e. Swell stops
may be played on the Great manual by using the Swell to Great
coupler. Couplers are found to the right of each division's stops.
Stops control the sounds of the organ [C] [E] [G].
Pistons are the round buttons below the keyboards.
Expression Shoes control the volume of the organ [Q] [R].
Crescendo Shoe adds stops when pressed, used rarely [S].
How do I adjust the volume of the organ?
Volume of the organ can be adjusted in two ways. First, adding or
removing stops affects the volume of the organ. Second, the
expression shoes control the volume of each division. [Q] controls the
volume of Great and Pedal stops, [R] controls the volume of Swell
stops. The crescendo shoe [S] is not used to control volume.
What if I don't play the pedals?
You can use the bass coupler [D] BASS. Enabling the bass coupler
duplicates the lowest note played on the Great with stops registered in
the Pedal division.
Where can I find preset stops?
When the organ is turned on, all of the general pistons [K] are factory
programmed for hymn accompaniment from soft (1) to loud (10).
