When an
ANC ON
piston for a division is engaged, digital voices play from the stops which
normally control pipe voices. These digital voices are often referred to as the “Ancillary”.
When the
PIPES OFF
piston for a division is engaged, the wind-blown pipe ranks are
silenced.
This configuration provides tremendous flexibility in choosing a registration. When both
pistons are unlit, stops controlling pipework will play the wind-blown pipe ranks. For
example, when
CH ANC ON
is engaged, Choir stops normally controlling pipework will
play both the wind-blown pipe ranks and the digital Ancillary voices for those stops. When
both
CH ANC ON
and
CH PIPES OFF
are selected, only the digital Ancillary voices will
be heard (the pipe voices are silenced). This system, in effect, gives you three choices for
stops which control pipes: the pipe rank alone, the Ancillary rank alone or both the pipe and
Ancillary ranks together.
Automatic Shutdown Timer
When the organ is on and left unattended, the power automatically turns off after two hours.
Operating any key, stop, or control resets the timer for another two hours.
Playing the organ from a remote MIDI keyboard or sequencer also resets the timer.
Rodgers SmartCard Memory System
In the Quick Tour section of this manual, you were introduced to the powerful and flexible
combination action of the T967. You learned that the T967 is able to store pistons on multiple
internal memories, allowing you to easily save and recall registrations at the press of a button.
The T967 is also equipped with a powerful SmartCard Memory System. This exclusive feature
provides the ability to store all registrations in multiple memory levels, Crescendo, Tutti and
other settings in a removable SmartCard. This device is convenient to carry and allows you to
carry your favorite registrations and organ settings with you.
When the card is inserted, the organ uses it for storage of piston contents and numerous other
parameters, such as Tutti registrations, Crescendo sequences, Tremulant settings and even lamp
levels. When the card is removed, its contents are protected from further changes.
This is of tremendous value in situations where more than one organist has access to the console.
If a number of organists play the instrument regularly, each can have their own card. When they
play the instrument, they can insert their own SmartCard and have instant access to their favorite
registrations and preferred Tutti, Crescendo and Tremulant controls. When finished, they can
take their card with them and not worry about someone else changing their favorite settings by
accident.
If the
PIPES OFF
piston in a division is engaged, the
ANC ON
piston must also be
engaged for the pipe stop(s)’ digital ancillary voice to sound.
