divisions are all assigned to the Swell expression shoe, allowing you to easily control the volume
of every enclosed division.

If ALL SWELLS , GT-PD ENCL and FEST TR ENCL ( FFF REEDS ENCL ) are all activated, the
entire organ is enclosed and can be expressed by the Swell expression shoe.
•
Great/Pedal Enclosed
On some Rodgers organs the Great and Pedal divisions are unenclosed ; that is, their volume is
unaffected by movements of the expression shoes. This allows the organist to change the
volume of the Choir, Swell and Solo divisions while the volume of Great and Pedal divisions’
remains constant. There are times, however, when it is desirable to have the Great and Pedal
divisions “under expression”, that is, affected by movement of the expression shoes. When
activated, the
GT PED ENCL piston is lit, and the Great and Pedal divisions change to enclosed;
that is, their volume is now controlled by the Choir expression shoe.
•
Great/Pedal Unenclosed
Other Rodgers models feature Great and Pedal divisions that are enclosed ; that is, their volume
is affected by movements of the expression shoes. This allows the organist to change the
volume of the Choir, Swell and Solo divisions as well as the volume of the Great and Pedal
divisions’.
There are times, however, when it is desirable to have the Great and Pedal divisions
unenclosed ; that is, not affected by movement of the expression shoes. When activated, the
GT PED UNENCL piston is lit, the Great and Pedal divisions change to unenclosed and their
volume is no longer controlled by the Choir expression shoe.
•
Festival Trumpet Enclosed (FFF Reeds Enclosed)
The Festival Trumpet 8’ and solo reeds (FFF) are normally unenclosed; that is, not affected by
the expression shoes. However, when the FEST TR ENCL (may be labeled FFF REEDS ENCL )
piston or tab is activated, the Festival Trumpet 8’ and the other FFF reeds stop are enclosed
and will be expressed by the appropriate divisional shoe.
•
Solo to Choir Expression
Normally, the Solo division expresses with the Swell; when the Swell expression shoe is moved,
both the Swell and Solo divisions change in volume. By activating the
SOLO EXPR CH piston, the
Solo division will express from the Choir expression shoe, rather than the Swell expression
shoe. This feature gives you the ability to control the volume of the Swell and Solo divisions
independently.
•
Tutti (or Full Organ)
There are times when a full organ registration is needed immediately. A Tutti (or Full Organ)
control allows you to engage full organ quickly without canceling your set registration. Some
models will have a
TUTTI I and a TUTTI II . Activate the control by pressing the TUTTI I or TUTTI
II thumb piston or toe stud; press again to turn off Tutti and return to the current registration.
