BASS PISTON
The name of this feature is derived from the ancient term "Basso Continuo," meaning thoroughbass.
When this reversible piston is pressed, it will light. Any stops or couplers on in the Pedal division will
sound from the lowest key being played on the Great manual. This provides a pedal bass without having
to actually play the pedalboard with the feet.
In its normal setting, the BASS Piston affects keys 1 through 24 ofthe Great manual, but its range
is programmable. As few notes as 1 through 13, or as many notes as 1 through 32 may be programmed.

SETTING THE RANGE OF THE BASS PISTON:
1. Hold SET and press the BASS Piston, which will start flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While the BASS Piston is flashing, press a key which corresponds to
the highest note the range is to extend. Any note from key 13 to key
32 may be selected. After the selected key has been pressed, the BASS
Piston will shut off. (Note: When a key is pressed to set the range, no
sound will be heard even if stops are on, so no disturbance will be made
if programming during a performance.)
4. To use the new range, press the BASS Piston. This range will be saved
when the organ is turned off.
