Using free combinations (capture system)

What are free combinations?

Free combinations are a special kind of presets. The combination of stops in presets are fixed.
With free combinations you are able to store your choice of stop combinations into the memory
and recall them when needed. This, of course, is especially helpful when many different
registrations occur in a piece of music. It makes the help of assistants redundant.
The memory of free combinations is protected so that is cannot be erased when you switch off
the organ or when you unplug the organ from the main power.
The capture system consists of the following:
! Key switch MEMORY LOCK
! Thumb pistons - and + (except with Opus 5 AGO)
! Display
! Thumb piston SET
! Thumb pistons 1 thru 8 (Opus 5 AGO: thumb pistons 1 thru 7)
With the capture system you can program 32 personal registrations per division (divisionals) as
well as for the entire organ (generals). These registrations can be recalled at any time. The
generals as well as the divisionals have four memory banks to be chosen with the pistons - and
+. Every memory bank can store 8 combinations, accessible by the pistons 1 thru 8. On every
setter location you may store a personal registration. Only the accessories Chorus and
Intonation 2 cannot be stored in the capture system.
The divisionals are not standard, but may be custom-ordered for the OPUS 5/10/20 AGO.
On the Opus 5 AGO you can store 7 personal registrations.

How to set free combinations

A free combination is programmed as follows:
1. First check if the PGM pistons is not switched on. This to avoid modifying a programmed
MIDI stop.
2. Make the memory accessible by turning the MEMORY LOCK a quarter turn to the right. The
SET piston will light up to indicate the memory can be accessed.
3. Choose the registration you want to store in the capture system.
4. Choose a memory bank (e.g. memory bank M2) by pushing one or more times on the - or
+ piston until the display shows the correct memory bank (in this example
5. Push on SET (keep on pushing) and choose the memory number (e.g. piston number 3 of
the Great division). On the display you will see the letter
programmed in the capture.
6. First release the piston for the memory number (in this example number 3) and then the SET
piston.
