RO = reeds off
Located to the far right of the presets is the RO (Reeds Off) thumb piston. By pushing this piston
all reeds will be switched off at once. As long as the RO piston is switched on no reeds can be
switched on. By pushing the RO thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.
S/S = All swells to swell
The S/S piston may be a custom-ordered piston for the Sweelinck 30 AGO. Pushing this piston
will couple all expression pedals to the swell division expression pedal. This enables you to
adjust the volume of the entire organ with only one expression pedal.
Controls
PITCH
With this control you can adjust the temperament of the organ in quarter steps.
This control has a central position indication, which means that, when turning, you can feel this
control click in this central position. This central position is meant to tune the organ (with the
TRANSPOSER control on position 0) on A=440 Hz
TRANSPOSER
With this control it is possible to transpone the organ. This means that the organ can be
transposed 1, 2 or 3 set half steps lower or higher. When the position of the control is 0, the
standard pitch for the organ is A=440 Hz, on the condition that the PITCH control is in central
position.
When using the TRANSPOSER in combination with the PITCH control it is possible to adjust
the organ 3 half steps higher or lower.
.
ACOUSTICS
The build-in digital acoustics provide a spacial reverberation of the organ sound. With this ontrol
the volume of the reverberation can be adjusted. To completely switch off the reverberations you
turn the control to the left.
Memory lock
MEMORY LOCK

it on with the toe studs. Reverse is also possible.

CAPTURE pistons (Except with Opus 5 AGO)
These toe studs have the same function as the memory pistons 1 thru 8.
