3. The current sequence may be viewed by advancing through the stages one at a
time using the SELECT knob. At each stage, the stage number (1 to 63) will be
indicated on the display, and the stops and couplers set on the stage will light.
4. To add one or more stops to the sequence, go to the stage where the stop(s) are
to be added, tum on the stop(s) and press SET.
5. To delete a stop, go to the first stage in which the stop turns on, tum off the
stop and press SET.
6. Each stop can be turned on at any stage and turned off at any later stage. As an
example, assume the 8' FLUTE CELESTE II is to go on at stage one and off at stage
25. Go to stage one, tum on the 8' FLUTE CELESTE II and press SET. Then go to
stage 25, tum off the 8' FLUTE CELESTE II and press SET.
7. To clear the entire crescendo sequence (stages 1 through 63), hold SET and press
GENERAL CANCEL. This will also reset the current stage to number one.
8. When building a completely new sequence, it is advisable to first write the sequence
down, then assign stage numbers from 1 to 63 to each stop or group of stops in the
sequence. Usually, there are more stages than stops in the sequence, so it is necessary
to skip some stages to make the sequence end at or near stage 63. If this is not
done, the sequence will end before the Crescendo Pedal is fully depressed.
9. To exit the Crescendo Set Mode at any time, press GENERAL CANCEL. Any changes
in the sequence made up to that point will be saved.
EXPRESSION PEDALS
The pedal in the middle controls the overall volume of the Swell and Positiv divisions. The
pedal on the left controls the overall volume of the Great and Pedal divisions. These pedals are used
to give variety of expression to the music played. Pressing the pedal forward increases the volume;
drawing back decreases the volume.
POSITIV UNENCLOSED
Many traditional pipe organs are tonally designed with the Positiv division non-expressive. On
the CAMBRIDGE 785, the Positiv division voices are normally expressed with the pedal in the
middle. If a more traditional effect is desired by the organist, the Positiv Unenclosed tilt tab allows
the Positiv division voices to play at full volume, while the Swell remains under expression.
GREAT TO SWELL EXPRESSION COUPLER
The Great to Swell Expression Coupler allows all the manual divisions and the Positiv division
to be expressed by using the middle expression pedal. The Pedal division remains expressive on the
left pedal.
