SETTING DIVISIONAL PISTONS
The piston setting process for divisional pistons is the same as SETTING GENERAL PISTONS
described above. Only Swell stops can be set with the Swell divisional pistons, Great stops with the
Great divisional pistons and Pedal stops with the Pedal divisional toe studs.
SETTING TOE PISTONS (STUDS)
Stop registration combinations may be set and drawn by toe studs, as well as by pistons. Toe studs,
located on each side of the Expression and Crescendo shoes, are set in the same manner as thumb
pistons. The toe studs on the left are duplicates of General Pistons. The Toe Studs on the right are
Pedal Divisional Toe Studs.
To set a Pedal Divisional Toe Stud...
Select the desired Pedal stops.
Hold the SET button, and momentarily press the desired Pedal Toe Stud.
Finally, release the SET button.
When you set a General Piston, that combination is set automatically on the Toe Stud of the same
number. That is, setting General Piston 3 also places its combination on General Toe Stud 3.
Note
: The organ’s capture system is not operable until about six seconds after the organ is turned on.
RECALL PISTON
The “R” or Recall piston recalls the last registration setting prior to using any General or Divisional
piston. For example;
Press a General or Divisional piston/toe stud. The stop registration programmed on that
particular piston/toe stud will appear.
Manually register additional stops to the current stop registration.
Now, press a different General or Divisional piston/toe stud. The stop registration programmed
on that particular piston/toe stud will appear.
Press the “R” piston. The previous stop registration, including those stops registered manually,
will re-appear.
What happens is that the capture system takes a “snapshot” of the current stop registration and stores
it within the Recall piston memory before it actually changes to the new stop registration selected.
Then, when the “R” piston is pressed, the capture system “recalls” the previous registration stored
before the last piston/toe stud selection was made.

REVERSIBLE PISTONS
The LD-34b is equipped with several Reversible pistons for the intermanual coupler stops.
Reversible pistons, when pressed, toggle the state of a coupler stop. For example, if the coupler stop
is turned off, pressing the associated Reversible piston for that stop will turn the stop on. The same is
true in reverse, if the coupler stop is turned on, pressing the associated Reversible piston for that stop
will turn the stop off.
