Hand Registration (Lighted Thumb Piston) - Johannus Monarke User Manual

HR = Hand registration (lighted thumb piston)
The HR-piston is found only on instruments with wooden drawstops (Monarke models "Van
Rhijn", "Gothique", "Positief" and "Van Eyck").
By pressing this thumb piston, you change from a fixed (preset) or a free (capture)
combination to hand registration. As soon as the HR-piston is pressed, only the manually
switched on (drawn) stops will sound. As long as the HR-piston is on, stops can be
switched on or off manually.
When you have selected a fixed (preset) or a free (capture) combination and you switch
a stop manually on or off, the selected fixed or free combination plus hand registration
(HR+-function) will be activated at once. This will be illustrated with a couple of examples.
Example 1
1. The fixed combination PP (with e.g. the stops SUBBASS 16' pedal, ROHRFLUTE 8'
great and STOPPED FLUTE 8' swell) has been selected.
2. The HR-piston is not on.
When you play the swell division only, the stop STOPPED FLUTE 8' will sound.
Manual switching on of e.g. FLUTE 4' of the swell division will make both the stop
STOPPED FLUTE 8' (PP) and the stop FLUTE 4' (HR) sound.
Both thumb pistons PP and HR (and the 0-piston) will be lit.
Example 2
1. The stop Octave 4' of the swell has been drawn.
2. The fixed combination PP (with e.g. the stops SUBBASS 16' pedal, ROHRFLUTE 8'
great and STOPPED FLUTE 8' swell) is selected.
3. The HR-piston is not on.
When you play the swell division, only the stop STOPPED FLUTE 8' will sound.
Manual switching on of e.g. the OCTAVE 2' of the swell will make both the stop STOPPED
FLUTE 8' (PP) and the stops OCTAVE 4' and OCTAVE 2' (HR) sounding.
Both thumb pistons PP and HR (and the 0-piston) will be lit.
Example 3
1. The stops OCTAVE 4' of the swell and the coupler SWELL-GREAT are on.
2. The fixed combination PP (with e.g. the stops SUBBASS 16' pedal, ROHRFLUTE 8'
great and STOPPED FLUTE 8' swell) is selected.
3. The HR-piston is not on.
When you now play the great division, only the stop ROHRFLUTE 8' will sound.
Because the coupler stop is now switched on, manual switching on e.g. the OCTAVE 2' of
the swell, will make both the stop ROHRFLUTE 8' (PP) and the stops OCTAVE 4' and
OCTAVE 2' (HR) sounding.
Both thumb pistons PP and HR (and the 0-piston) will be lit.
When you have switched on a fixed combination together with HR (or a free combination
together with HR), stops of the fixed or free combination cannot be manually switched off.
In the above examples manual switching off of the STOPPED FLUTE 8' will have no effect,
because the fixed combination thumb piston PP retains it. In other words: the fixed and free
combinations take precedence over hand registration.
