Setting The Volume; Stereo Headphone Socket; Demo Songs; Activating Stops - Rodgers 538 insignia Owner's Manual

Setting the volume

Special situations and individual preferences sometimes
require a temporary change in the overall volume of
the organ. This may be due to a large attendance and
the need for additional sound to fill the room; at other
times, it may be desirable to reduce the overall level of
the organ to accommodate a smaller audience.
(1) The [GENERAL¥VOLUME] knob on the connector
panel (right, below the keydesk) can be used to set
the 538/i548's overall volume.
Adjust the [GENERAL¥VOLUME] knob located on the
black input/output box underneath the keydesk to
the right.

each division individually (page 40).

Stereo headphone socket

The console is equipped with a 1/4" stereo
HEADPHONES socket located on the connector panel to
the right underneath the keydesk. Plugging a set of
headphones into this jack disables the sound from all
speakers.

Demo songs

The 538/i548 is equipped with a demo song function
that plays MIDI sequences stored inside the instrument.
This feature allows you to demonstrate the 538/i548 or
to hear how the instrument sounds from another
location in the room (by starting a demo song and then
walking around).
There are several demo songs stored inside your
instrument. These songs cannot be changed.

Activating stops

The term stop is used to describe a single voice on an
organ. The 538/i548 has a large array of stops, each of
which is given a name, such as Violone 16', Spitzflöte
4', Mixture IV, etc. A stop will sound if it is activated
and keys or pedals that control it are pressed. For
example, the Principal 16' stop in the Pedal division
will sound if it is activated and notes are played on the
pedalboard.
To activate a stop:
• Press the bottom half of the tilt tab until it lights and
release it.
To silence a stop:
• Press the top half of the tilt tab until it goes dark and
release.
