Tutti; Melody Couplers - Rodgers Trillium T967 Owner's Manual

Table of Contents

The two general tremulants, Main Tremulant II and Flute Tremulant II, are located on thumb

pistons under the Swell manual, labeled MAIN TREM II and FLUTE TREM II, respectively.

Both of these tremulants find their best use in gospel, theatre and evangelical music; the Main

Vibrato affects Principal, String and Reed voices whereas the Flute Vibrato affects Flute voices.

A tremulant is activated by selecting its control (it will light). Divisional tremulants can be

stored with registrations in both general and corresponding divisional pistons; general tremulants

can only be stored on general pistons.

Each tremulant can be modified easily to suit your tastes and needs. See page 27.

Tutti

There are times when a full organ registration is needed immediately. Tutti controls allow you

to engage full organ quickly without canceling the registration which is set.

There are two Tutti settings on the Rodgers T967. To activate Tutti, press either TUTTI I or

TUTTI II. These controls are located on both thumb pistons and toe pistons. As these are

reversible controls, simply press them again to turn Tutti off and return to the current

registration.

When either Tutti is activated, the Tutti indicator located directly above the Crescendo indicator

is lit. Pressing General Cancel will cancel Tutti.

When programmed at the Rodgers factory, Tutti I is a smaller registration than Tutti II.

Both Tutti I and Tutti II can be reprogrammed, if desired. See page 29.

One of the most popular organ registrations utilizes a melody voice on one manual and

accompaniment on another manual. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to separate the hands on

two manuals. For this reason, the Rodgers Melody couplers were devised.

When a Melody coupler is activated, the highest note played on the Great manual uses a

registration from another manual. This allows you to have both an accompaniment and solo

registration, even though you're playing on one manual.

These couplers are located on thumb pistons under the Great manual, and are labeled MEL SW

and MEL CH. These pistons light when engaged.

When the Melody from Swell is engaged (MEL SW is lit), any selected stop or MIDI voice in

the Swell division sounds from the highest key being played on the Great manual. When Melody

from Choir is engaged (MEL CH is lit), any selected stop or MIDI voice in the Choir division

sounds from the highest key being played on the Great manual.
