3. [NEXT] and [PREV.] stops: general combination sequencers. [NEXT] selects combinations in
ascending order, [PREV.] in descending order.
4. General combinations: this section contains the instrument’s general adjustable combinations.
When a combination is recalled, the light of the relative stop illuminates to confirm its activation.
The [NEXT] pistons can also be used to select combinations one by one in an upward direction and
[PREV.] for the same function in a downward direction (combination sequencers).
There is also a piston marked [HR] (Handle Registers) beside the general combinations; also known
as 0, when it is on it automatically memorises the register status. This piston’s main function is to
restore, during use of the combinations, the “hand-made” stop setup created when the [HR] button
was on.
Remember that an HR setup is not modified if the stops are switched on and off by hand when a
combination on the same section is selected (i.e. with the HR off).
N.B.
The contents of the HR are not retained when the organ is switched off.
Each combination (including HR and Tutti) is able to store:
-
the status (on/off) of the stops
- the status of the couplers
- the status of the tremulants (even with different modulation depths and speeds, if the specific
SET-UP menu function described in par. 7.9 is activated)
-
the style (Organ Style)
- the MIDI controls (point 2) and the Program Changes set using the SEND PROGRAM
CHANGE function (par. 8.2)
-
Enclosed and Automatic Pedal (activating the specific function, see par. 7.9).
For the fixing combinations procedure, see point 1.
5. [A.P.] piston: this piston controls the status of the Automatic Pedal function used to play the stops of
the pedal board using the first 32 notes of Man.I.
In this case, the organ’s pedal board is deactivated and the stops become monophonic, with priority to
the lowest note.
6. [ENC] piston:
pressing this piston activates the Enclosed function used to control the organ’s general
volume using the swell pedal [MAN. II].
N.B.
- These pistons activate or deactivate the transmission of MIDI note codes (Note On and Note
Off) only, unlike all the other MIDI messages the organ is able to process, which are always
transmitted regardless of the status of this function.
- These pistons control transmission of MIDI notes only. Reception is always enabled.
