Other Accessories; Chorus; Intonation 2; Mean-Tone - Johannus Monarke User Manual

Other accessories

Your instrument may be fitted with one or more of the following accessories.

Chorus

To avoid the instrument sounding too sterile, the organ has been designed in such a way
that various stops are slightly detuned in relation to each other. This gives the instrument
a "broader", more "lively" character. When your instrument has the accessory CHORUS,
this effect can be strengthened by switching on this accessory.
On your instrument this accessory may be designed as a stop or as a thumb piston.

Intonation 2

Intonation determines the timbre of the instrument. In pipe organ building, tuning (voicing)
is a very important aspect of the trade. Every pipe organ is adjusted, stop by stop, to the
area where the instrument is installed.
The accessory INTONATION 2 occurs on instruments which are fitted with two intonations,
one romantic, one baroque. If your instrument has two intonations, you can switch between
one intonation and the other with the accessory INTONATION 2 (INT2).
In general, a romantic instrument sounds somewhat "rounder", whereas the timbre of an
instrument with a baroque intonation is slightly brighter.

On your instrument this accessory may be designed as a stop or as a thumb piston.

Mean-tone

Normally your instrument has Equal temperament (normal temperament).
By switching on the accessory Mean-tone (MT), Mean-tone temperament is selected.
As soon as this temperament is switched on, the Werckmeister III temperament will
automatically be switched off, if it is on.
See also at "Choice of temperament".
On your instrument this accessory may be designed as a stop or as a thumb piston.

MIDI-stops

The MIDI-stops (or switches) form a separate group of accessories.
See for its usage at "Application of MIDI" and "Programmable MIDI".
On your instrument these accessories may be designed as stops or as thumb pistons.
Unisono off
On an instrument with sub and / or super couplers, the accessory UNISONO OFF may be
found. With this stop the real footage of a stop is switched off, so that only the footage of
the sub or super coupler is heard. An example:
When the sub coupler SWELL-SWELL 16' and the super coupler SWELL-SWELL 4' of the
swell is switched on, and the stop UNISONO OFF is not on, pressing a key will produce
three tones. The original tone, a tone sounding an octave lower and a tone sounding an
octave higher.
