Rodgers 538/i548
Quick tour
(6) Use the Select knob to select the desired parameter
and change its setting with the data entry wheel:
Setting
Allows you to switch the metronome on and off.
The third option, "Rec", means that the
metronome is only audible while you are
recording (see p. 23).
q
Allows you to set the tempo (20~250).
Vol
Allows you to set the metronome's volume (this
setting is also used by the Count-In function).
TSig
Allows you to set the time signature. This value is
only used while you are not playing back a
recorded song (i.e. when practising a new piece).
The setting range is 2/2, 1/4~7/8, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8 or
12/8.
(7) Press and hold the [ø¥EXIT] piston to return to the

Storing registrations
By now, you may have experimented with
combinations of stops and couplers and have started to
get a feel for the tremendous versatility of the 538/
i548. In organ terms, these combinations of stops and
couplers are referred to as registrations.
Obviously, once you've found a desirable registration,
you'll want to be able to recall it quickly and easily.
With Rodgers' powerful digital technology, you can
store and recall stops, pistons and even MIDI settings.
Note: The Rodgers MIDI system is covered in great detail, starting
on page 44.
About the memories
There are two kinds of memories on the 538/i548:
• General memories that apply to all sections and
divisions. There are 32 such memories, divided over 4
banks of 8 memories.
Banks are selected using the [M–]/[M+] pistons. The
memories can be selected using the [1]~[8] and/or the
[–]/[+] pistons.
• Divisional memories that only apply to the manual
(i.e. division) under which they are located.
There are five such memories per division. The
memories of manual I can be set to include the
registration of the PEDAL division. See page 18 for
how to set this function.
Pressing a piston with your thumb will cause the
stored registration to be recalled instantly.
Note: Your Rodgers organ has factory-set registrations for
many pistons—try them!
Each of the available memories can be easily changed
to suit your particular needs and tastes.
As stated above, general memories affect the entire
organ, while divisional memories affect a single
division. For example, you could use one general
memory to recall stops, couplers and MIDI settings on
every division at once, or you could use a MAN II
divisional memory to change only the registration of
manual II.
