Expression pedals

The volume of each keyboard is adjustable with:

Expression pedal Choir (only for Rembrandt 300/3000)

With the left expression pedal you adjust the volume of the choir.

Expression pedal Great + Pedal

With the left (for Rembrandt 300/3000 the middle) expression pedal you adjust the Great and
Pedal Volume at the same time.

Expression pedal Swell

With the right expression pedal you adjust the volume of the Swell.

The expression pedals work independently from the adjusted General Volume. For adjusting
General Volume see: “Thumb pistons, Volume.”

Thumb pistons

Thumb pistons are switches that after being switched on or off remain in the same position. For
that every thumb piston has a light build in that lights on as soon as it is switched on.

WM = Werckmeister

By pushing this piston you choose for the Werckmeister III temperament. See under chapter
“Choice of temperament.” As soon as you switch on this temperament the Meantone
temperament will be switched off automatically in case it was on.
By pushing the WM thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.

MT = Meantone

By pushing this piston you choose for the Meantone temperament. See under chapter “Choice
of temperament.” As soon as you switch on this temperament the Werckmeister III temperament
will be switched off automatically in case it was on.
By pushing the MT thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.

MB = Manual Bass

By pushing this piston the pedal board will be coupled to the Great keyboard automatically.
When you play a chord on the Great, the lowest key of this chord will be coupled from the Pedal
to the Great.
By pushing the MB thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.

CF = Cantus Firmus

By pushing this piston the Swell will be coupled to the Great keyboard. When you play a chord
on the Great, the highest key of this chord will be coupled from the Swell to the Great. This way
the effect of an automatic solo can be achieved. In case you use the Swell to Great coupler
already in use the CF function has no effect.
By pushing the CF thumb piston again its function will be switched off again.
