PIZZICATO COUPLER
The Pizzicato Coupler (PIZZ) is located on a piston under the Great manual to the right.
This special effects coupler causes the stops and MIDI voices registered on the Solo manual to
play momentarily on the Great manual like a real orchestral string pizzicato.
GREAT SOSTENUTO
The Great Sostenuto (SOS) is located on a piston under the Great Manual to the right. To
activate the Great Sostenuto, the SOS piston must be pressed and is then controlled by the foot
switch located on the top left edge of the Main expression shoe. Keys on the Great manual
that are playing when the foot switch is pressed are sustained. Other keys on the Great played
after the foot switch is pressed play normally while the sustained notes play constant. The
sustained notes stop playing when the switch is released.
Note: This foot switch also serves as
the Sustain control for the MIDI sounds on MIDI ACCOMP A coupler piston. This function is
disabled when the Great Sostenuto is on.
RODGERS RHYTHMAKER
™
The Rodgers Rhythmaker is an easy-to-use automatic rhythm unit. The rhythm select
tabs are located in the group of black tabs to the far left on the back rail. They light when they
are engaged.
There are 10 primary rhythm patterns, with 10 second patterns, which are listed below:
PRIMARY PATTERN SECOND PATTERN
Swing Big Band
Waltz Jazz Waltz
Dixie Dixie Swing
Country Country Swing
Ballad I Ballad II
Bossa Nova I Bossa Nova II
Latin I Beguine
Latin II Rhumba
March 4/4 March 6/8
Rock I Rock II
The 2ND PATTERN tab is a reversible tab (press to turn on; press again to turn off). By
pressing this tab, the rhythm pattern changes from the primary pattern to the second pattern or
vice versa, depending on which rhythm pattern is selected at the time. The tab lights when it
is engaged.
The TRAPS UNENCLOSED tab makes both the Rhythmaker traps and the stop rail traps
sound at full volume without expression control. Without engaging this tab, the Rhythmaker
and the stop rail traps are expressed with the Main (left) Expression Shoe. The tab lights
when it is engaged.
The maximum volume level for the Rhythmaker can be adjusted in the Console Display.
