Volume Adjustment; Volume Control; Expression Pedal Great + Pedal; Expression Pedal Swell + Choir - Johannus Opus 5 User Manual

Volume adjustment

The volume is adjustable in the following ways:

VOLUME control

With the VOLUME control you adjust the General Volume, independent of the position of the
expression pedals. Therefore, this control has influence on each keyboard.

Expression pedal Great + Pedal

With the left expression pedal you adjust the Great and Pedal volume at the same time.

Expression pedal Swell + Choir

With the right expression pedal you adjust the volume of the Swell and Choir at the same time
(the last part for Opus 30 AGO only).
Both expression pedals work independently of the position of the VOLUME control.

Thumb pistons

The thumb pistons are switches that after being switched on or off remain in the same position.
Therefore, every thumb piston has a light built in that lights as soon as it is switched on.

WM = Werckmeister

By pushing this piston you choose for the Werckmeister temperament. See under chapter
"Choice of temperament". As soon as you switch on this temperament the Meantone
temperament will be switched off automatically in case it was on.
By pushing the WM thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.

MT = Meantone

By pushing this piston you choose for the Meantone temperament. See under chapter "Choice
of temperament". As soon as you switch on this temperament the Meantone temperament will
be switched off automatically in case it was on.
By pushing the MT thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.

MB = Manual Bass

By pushing this piston the pedal will be coupled to the Great keyboard automatically. When you
play a chord on the Great, the lowest key of this chord will be coupled from the Pedal to the
Great. By pushing the MB thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.

CF = Cantus Firmus

By pushing this piston the Swell will be coupled to the Great keyboard. When you play a chord
on the Great, the highest key of this chord will be coupled from the Swell to the Great. This way
the effect of an automatic solo can be achieved. In case the Swell to Great coupler is already
in use the CF function has no effect. By pushing the CF thumb piston again its function will be
switched off again.

FA = Fix Accessories (Freeze Accessories)

When you use the couplers and tremulants in the fixed combinations (presets) or in the free
combinations (capture system) or by using the thumb piston "0" (cancel) these will change too.
You can avoid this by using the FA thumb piston. As long as this piston is switched on, you can
only switch the couplers and tremulants on or off by hand. By pushing the FA thumb piston
again its function will be switched off again.
