MELODY COUPLER
The Melody Coupler (MEL) is located on a piston under the Great manual to the right.
The Melody Coupler lights when it is engaged. Any stop or coupler of the Solo division
sounds from the highest key being played on the Great manual. This allows a solo melody
and an accompaniment to be played on the same manual.
In its default setting, the Melody Coupler affects keys 25 through 61 on the Great manual.
Its range is programmable and may be extended down to key 13 or up to key 49.

SETTING THE RANGE OF THE MELODY COUPLER:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, and press MEL which begins flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While the Melody Coupler is flashing, press a key which corresponds to the lowest
note the range is to extend. Any note from key 13 to key 49 may be selected.
After the selected key has been pressed, the Melody Coupler turns off.
Note: When
a key is pressed to set the range, no sound is heard even if stops are on, so no
disturbance is made if programming during a performance.
4. To use the new range, press MEL. This range is saved when the organ is turned
off.
COUNTER MELODY COUPLER
The Counter Melody Coupler (SOLO/ACC MEL) is located in the group of black square
tabs to the far right on the back rail. This coupler allows organ and MIDI voices registered on
the Solo manual to sound one note at a time from the Accompaniment manual. It operates on
a “Low Note Priority” and works as follows:
1. For example, select the 8' Concert Flute on the Accompaniment manual, the 8'
Tuba Horn on the Solo manual, and press SOLO/ACC MEL.
2. Play a chord on the Accompaniment. The 8' Concert Flute sounds on all notes,
but the 8' Tuba sounds only on the lowest note.

SETTING THE RANGE OF THE COUNTER MELODY COUPLER:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, and press SOLO/ACC MEL which begins
flashing.
2. Release SET and SOLO/ACC MEL.
3. While the Counter Melody Coupler is flashing, press a key which corresponds to
the highest note the range is to extend. Any note from key 1 to key 37 may be
selected. After the selected key has been pressed, the Counter Melody Coupler
turns off.
Note: When a key is pressed to set the range, no sound is heard even if
stops are on, so no disturbance is made if programming during a performance.
4. To use the new range, press SOLO/ACC MEL. This range is saved when the
organ is turned off.
