Presets - Rodgers Topper Owner's Manual

PRESETS
Your TOPPER is equipped with a unique PRESET system
which allows the organist maximum flexibility for rapid
stop changes.
When looking at the Piston Rail, you will notice that
to the left there is a piston labeled STOPRAIL. When this
STOPRAIL piston is illuminated any of the stops on the TAP
will. function and immediately affect the sound of the
instrument.
To the immediate right of the STOPRAIL piston are five
general Presets. They affect the Solo voices, Solo P~rcus­
sions, Accompaniment and Pedal voices. The Tremulants and
General controls are not affected by presets, with one
exception, the First Preset. Since it activates the Grand
Piano on the Solo Manual, it will automatically cancel the
Main Tremulant when fully engaged.
The Rodgers Preset System is unique since all the presets
are "Double Touch." That means each piston has two contact
points. The first contact point, called First Touch, will
add the piston to whatever else is registered. When push-
ing past First Touch into Second Touch, all other functions
are cancelled and only the lighted piston will affect the
-15-
