How do I adjust the volume of the organ?
Volume of the organ can be adjusted in two ways. First, adding or
removing stops affects the volume of the organ. Second, the
expression shoes control the volume of each division. [Q] controls the
volume of Great and Pedal stops, [R] controls the volume of Swell
stops. The crescendo shoe [S] is not used to control volume.
What if I don’t play the pedals?
You can use the bass coupler [D] BASS. Enabling the bass coupler
duplicates the lowest note played on the Great with stops registered in
the Pedal division.
Where can I find preset stops?
When the organ is turned on, all of the general pistons [K] are factory
programmed for hymn accompaniment from soft (1) to loud (10).
Getting started:
1.
Turn the organ on [I].
2.
Press a general piston [K]. Arranged from soft (1) to loud (0).
3.
Adjust volume using the expression shoes [Q] and [R].
