Useful for Gospel music, etc. Also known as “Vibrato.”

EXPRESSION PEDALS
The MDS-26 features three expression pedals. The pedal on the left expresses the Great
and Pedal divisions, while the center expression pedal affects the Swell. The one on the
far right is the Crescendo Pedal.
CRESCENDO PEDAL
One master Crescendo, for all divisions, gradually adds stops as this pedal is opened.
Indicator lights show the relative position of the pedal. Crescendo B is a secondary
Crescendo that can be programmed by the organist. Indiscriminate use of the Crescendo
pedal, in lieu of careful registration, should be avoided.
TUTTI I & II
The Tutti I and II are settings of full organ registration. Tutti II is a fuller registration
than Tutti I, most noticeably in the Pedal division. The Tuttis are turned on by using
manual pistons located beneath the Swell manual directly above the Cancel button. The
pistons are reversible, meaning that pressing them will turn the corresponding Tutti on or
off. The Cancel button will also turn off the Tuttis. Pressing Tutti II will cancel Tutti I.
Red signal lights, appropriately labeled and located on the right side of the console to the
left of the expression indicators, turn on when Tutti I or II is in operation. A second set
of Tuttis can be programmed by the organist. Like the Crescendo, indiscriminate use of
these devices should be avoided.
RECALL PISTON
The “R” Piston, when activated, will recall the last combination set prior to using any
general or divisional piston.
