Using the general crescendo

When your instrument has been fitted with a general crescendo pedal, you will be able to
switch on stops, in 10 or 20 steps, ranging from very soft (pianissimo) to very loud (tutti),
depending on the type of instrument. The steps of the general crescendo were set in
advance, according to musical standards.
The general crescendo always takes precedence over hand registrations, fixed (preset)
combinations and free (capture) combinations. Stops activated with the general crescendo
cannot be switched off with the 0-piston. Except on instruments with wooden drawstops,
stops can be added manually within a stop combination of the general crescendo pedal
Reeds that have been activated by the general crescendo, can be switched off with the
RO-piston.
When your instrument has been fitted with a programmable general crescendo pedal
(recognizable by the thumb pistons GC and PG or the thumb pistons GC and PGM) the
standard set stop combinations of each general crescendo step - except 0 - can be
changed and stored into the general crescendo memory.
The standard stop combinations of a programmable general crescendo pedal, set by the
designer of the instrument, can always be reset in the general crescendo memory.
However, this is only possible for all the general crescendo steps together. The personal
stop combinations are then lost.
The general crescendo memory is protected so that it cannot be erased when you switch
off the organ or when you unplug the organ from the main power.

Switching on general crescendo

Non-programmable general crescendo

On instruments with a non-programmable general crescendo pedal, no thumb piston needs
to be pressed to switch on the general crescendo pedal. A non-programmable general
crescendo pedal can always be used straightaway.

Programmable general crescendo

To use a programmable general crescendo pedal, the GC-piston must be pressed.
On instruments with a 7-segment display, the display will not show now a selected memory
group of the capture system, but indicates to which step the general crescendo pedal is
pressed down.
On instruments with an LCD, instead of the text Off, the display will now indicate to which
step the general crescendo pedal is pressed.
