MELODY COUPLER
The Melody Coupler (MEL) is located on a piston under the Great manual to the right. The Melody
Coupler lights when it is engaged.
When MEL is lit, any selected stop or MIDI voice in the Swell division sounds from the highest key
being played on the Great manual. This allows a solo melody and an accompaniment to be played on the
same manual.
In its default setting, the Melody Coupler affects keys 25 through 61 on the Great manual. The lower
end of its range is programmable and may be extended down to key 13 or up to key 49.
Note: The Melody Coupler can only be set in General combination pistons.
Setting the Range of the Melody Coupler
1. Press and hold the SET piston, and press MEL which begins flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While the Melody Coupler is flashing, press a key which corresponds to the lowest note the
range is to extend. Any note from key 13 to key 49 may be selected. After the selected key
has been pressed, the Melody Coupler turns off.
Note: When a key is pressed to set the range,
no sound is heard even if stops are on, so no disturbance is made if programming during a
performance.
4. To use the new range, press MEL. This range is saved when the organ is turned off.
BASS COUPLER
The name of this feature is derived from the historical term “Basso Continuo” meaning thoroughbass.
When the Bass Coupler is engaged, it will light. Any selected stops or couplers in the Pedal division will
sound from the lowest key being played on the Great manual. This provides a pedal bass sound without
actually playing the pedalboard. The Bass Coupler (BASS) is located on a piston under the Great manual
to the right.
In the default setting, the Bass Coupler affects keys 1 through 24 of the Great manual, but its range is
programmable up to key 32 (top of the pedalboard range).
