Melody Pistons; Setting The Range Of The Melody Pistons - Rodgers 940 Manual

MELODY PISTONS
There are two Melody Pistons; one for the Swell division (MEL SW) and one for the Choir division
(MEL CH). When either Melody Piston is pushed, it will light. Any stop or coupler of the Swell (or
Choir) division will sound from the highest key being played on the Great manual. This allows a solo
melody and an accompaniment to be played from the same manual.
In its normal setting, the Melody Piston (MEL SW or MEL CH) affects keys 25 through 61 on the
Great manual, but its range is programmable. The range may be extended down to key 20 or up to key
49. The range applies to both MEL SW and MEL CH.
~ SETTING THE RANGE OF THE MELODY PISTONS:
1. Hold SET and press either the MEL SW or MEL CH Piston, which starts flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While the MEL SW or MEL CH Piston is flashing, press a key which corresponds to
the lowest note the range is to extend. Any note from key 13 to key 49 may be
selected. After the selected key has been pressed, the MEL SW or MEL CH 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 MEL SW or MELCH Piston. This range will be saved when
the organ is turned off.
