5. Modifying Crescendo and Tutti B Settings
A second set of Crescendo and Tutti settings can be altered to suit the organist’s needs.
To access the Crescendo/Tutti B function, touch:
OPTIONS >> CONFIGURE CONSOLE >> CRESC/TUTTI B
There are two modes available; "SET" and "SHOW".
SET : Set mode allows the organist to edit a
Crescendo B sequence.
SHOW : Show mode allows the organist to preview
the programmed Crescendo B sequence.
Touch the SET or SHOW button to highlight and
select which mode will be active.
To view the stops registered on the second (B) Tutti I or Tutti II, press either Tutti piston.
This will cause all associated stops programmed on the Tutti selected to turn on.
Important: Do not use the Crescendo shoe while within the Crescendo B/Tutti B function!
Setting a Crescendo B Sequence:
Crescendo includes 22 step positions (50 steps on large instruments), evenly dispersed along
the Crescendo shoe’s range of travel. To set the Crescendo B sequence, touch the SET button
to highlight it and activate the program mode. Then, using the UP and DOWN buttons, select
a STEP position. The "STEP" indicator displays either "step --" to indicate position 0
(Crescendo shoe off) or any step between 1 and 22 (1 through 50 on large instruments).
Important! While in SET mode, moving through the step positions using the UP and
DOWN buttons will not cause stops to turn on or off indicating what registration is
programmed on a particular step.
To set a Crescendo B sequence, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select step 1. Adjust the
stops to a suitable registration for step 1.
(Note: You can play the organ at any time to hear
your selected registration) To save the selected stop registration to step 1, press and hold the
SET piston. Then, while holding SET , press the CRES B button. Step 1 is now
programmed. Repeat the above procedure to set all available crescendo step positions.
