This chapter presents the capabilities of the 538/i548 in greater detail. Use it to become more familiar with the many
innovative features of your fine Rodgers instrument.
Console display and controls
The 538/i548 is equipped with a graphic display with an
intuitive “Quick Menu” structure for many of the
console functions described in this section. The display
normally indicates the transposition (“Transpose”), and
memory bank/memory (“M”) settings. But there are
other functions you can set, including MIDI settings,
Tremulant rate and depth, and many others.
Three controls are used to select the features found in
the display:
[QUICK¥MENU]
is used to activate menu
mode and confirm the selection of items. By selecting a
menu item, you go to a lower level.
[ø¥EXIT]
is used to
return to the previous level (when pressed briefly), or to
the main page (when held down).
The Select knob is used to select items. As stated above,
your selection needs to be confirmed by pressing the
[QUICK¥MENU]
piston. The data entry wheel is used to
change the settings of the selected parameter.
The following section describes how the console
display is used, outline the basic navigation
techniques and gives you a map of what can be
found and set by the organist. After that, each
control found in the display will be described in more
detail.
