EXPRESSION AND CRESCENDO SHOES
The Rodgers Theatre 360 has two Expression Shoes. As with a real theatre pipe organ,
the
left
Expression Shoe controls the Main chamber voices, and the
right
Expression Shoe
controls the Solo chamber voices. When the MASTER EXPRESSION/CRESCENDO tab is
lit, the Main Expression Shoe becomes a Master Expression Shoe, and the Solo Expression
Shoe becomes a Crescendo Pedal.
The chamber allocation of voices is as follows:
MAIN CHAMBER
SOLO CHAMBER

English Horn

Tibia Minor (VP)
Tibia Clausa
Clarinet
Orchestral Oboe
Viol Celeste II

(VP=Voice Palette selection)
The Crescendo Pedal adds a pre-selected stop sequence to the registration already
selected by tabs.
The Crescendo must be unlocked to set a crescendo sequence. Once the sequence is set,
it may be locked again to prevent accidental change.
UNLOCKING THE CRESCENDO:
1. Press and hold MASTER EXPRESSION/CRESCENDO for approximately five
seconds until “CRESCENDO LOCKED” appears in the Console Display.
2. While continuing to hold MASTER EXPRESSION/CRESCENDO, rotate the
Alpha Dial either direction until the Console Display reads “CRESCENDO
UNLOCKED.”
3. Release the MASTER EXPRESSION/CRESCENDO. The Crescendo is unlocked.
SETTING THE CRESCENDO SEQUENCE:
1. Press the MASTER CRESCENDO/EXPRESSION tab located in the group of
black tabs to the far right on the back rail.
