combination piston.

2.  Turn on the stop to be changed.  For example, select the 16' Principal in the Pedal.  The 

Console Display reads: 

P D   P R N C I P L   1 6 =  

* P R I N C I P L   1 6 *  

3.  Rotate the Alpha Dial to view the available Voice Palette selection.  The voice may be 

previewed as it is selected.
