General Cancel; Storing Registrations - Rodgers Insignia 537 Owner's Manual

Quick tour Bass coupler
Bass coupler
The Bass coupler is much like the Melody cou-
pler described above, except that it adds the Pedal
registration to the lowest note played on the
Great manual. This allows you to easily add a
Pedal part to anything played on the Great man-
ual.
The Bass coupler is a console tab labeled BASS
ON GREAT and lights when engaged. Any
selected registration in the Pedal division will
sound from the lowest key being played on the
Great manual. This provides a pedal bass sound
without actually playing the pedal board.

Storing registrations
By now, you may have experimented with combina-
tions of stops and couplers and have started to get a
feel for the tremendous versatility of the
537.
In
organ terms, these combinations of stops and cou-
plers are referred to as registrations.
Obviously, once you've found a desirable registra-
tion, 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.
--~----------------------~
The Rodgers MIDI system is covered in great detail ,
starting on page 28.
These memories can be selected via pistons, each of
which aHow you to store a combination of stops,
couplers and other settings. These pistons are
located beneath the Great manual of the organ
(commonly referred to as thumb pistons).
Pressing a piston with your thumb will cause its
stored registration to be recalled instantly.
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. The
next section introduces this extremely useful system
and illustrates how to make use of its many features.
About the memories
The
537 has eight
pistons, which can be config-
ured as general or divisional memories.
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 Swell
divi-
sional memory to change the Swell alone.
The factory default settings for memories
1-8
are configured as general memories. However,
they can be configured to be divisional memories
as follows:

Press [MENU].
