2. Reeds
In
reed
pipes, a metal tongue vibrates against an open flattened side of a metal tube called a
shallot. The characteristic sounds of different reeds are produced through resonators of different
shapes. The family of reeds subdivides as follows:
Chorus or Ensemble:
Double Trumpet, Tromba,
Posaune,
Clarion,
Bombarde
Solo:
Hautbois,
Clarinet,
Krummhorn
Voices of great harmonic development; some are imitative of
their orchestral counterparts.

II. SPECIALIZED
STOP
CONTROLS
Some organ stop controls do not turn voices on/off, but instead turn on/off console functions
such as outlined in this Section.

Positiv to Pedal

Tremulant
This stop provides a vibrato effect, natural in the human voice and
wind instruments.
Gt-Pd Unenclosed
The expression control for the Great and Pedal Divisions is disabled,
causing the Great and Pedal stops to sound at full volume, regardless
of the position of the expression shoe.
Bass Coupler
When playing on the Great manual, the lowest key played on the Great
will automatically play stops drawn on the Pedal division, in addition
to those stops drawn on the Great. This allows voices normally played
from the pedalboard to be heard without using the pedalboard.
Alternate Tuning
When activated, the organ’s tuning will change to an alternate tuning
selected within the Console Controller™. See the Console Controller
Guide, later in this Manual, for more information relating to Alternate
Tunings.
