SETTING GENERAL PISTONS
General pistons will affect all stops in any division. Any stop turned on will be set within a
General piston registration. To set a General piston:
First, turn on any stops you wish to save within a registration.
Press and hold the
SET
Piston.
Press and release the desired GENERAL piston.
Finally, release the
SET
Piston.
Note:
General pistons are customarily set from soft to loud using graduated stop combinations.
SETTING DIVISIONAL PISTONS
Divisional pistons are different in that they only affect the stops of a single division. For
example, only the Swell stops can be programmed onto a Swell divisional piston. Any Great
stops turned on while selecting or setting a Swell divisional piston will be unaffected or changed.
To set a Divisional piston:
First, only turn on stops within a single division you wish to save within a registration.
Press and hold the
SET
Piston.
Press and release the desired DIVISIONAL piston.
Finally, release the
SET
Piston.
The pistons, General or Divisional, which have been set “remember” the registration
combinations which have been assigned to each of them. Each time a given piston is pressed,
the registration assigned to it is activated. Stop registration combinations may be changed at any
time by repeating the above procedures.
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 #8 also places its combination on General toe stud #8.
