The Bass Coupler - Rodgers Classic Keyboard C-440 Owner's Manual

THE BASS COUPLER
This feature's name is derived from the ancient term "Basso Continuo," meaning thorough bass.
When this tilt tab 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 Coupler affects keys 1 through 24 of the 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.
n- HOW TO SET THE RANGE OF THE BASS COUPLER:
6
1. Hold SET and press the BASS tilt tab, which will start flashing.
2. Release the SET piston.
3. While the BASS tilt tab 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
tilt tab will shut off. (Note: When 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 tilt tab. (Note: When the organ is
turned off, the range of the Bass Coupler will revert to notes 1 through 24.)
