General Cancel
Activated stops and couplers can be cleared quickly by pressing the General Cancel piston,
(labeled ‘ 0 ’) located under the Great manual on the right-hand side of the keyboard. Simply
press and release this piston to cancel a registration.
Using Pistons to Select Registrations
By now, you may have experimented with combinations of stops and couplers and have started
to get a feel for the tremendous versatility of the T797. In organ terms, these combinations of
stops and couplers are referred to as
registrations .
Obviously, once you’ve found a desirable registration, you’ll want to be able to recall it quickly
and easily. This is done through the
combination action of the T797. With Rodgers’ powerful
digital technology, you can store and recall stops, pistons and even MIDI settings.
The combination action of the T797 is comprised of pistons , each of which can store a
combination of stops, couplers and other settings. These pistons are located beneath the manuals
of the organ (commonly referred to as
thumb pistons ) or on the kneeboard to the left and right
of the expression shoes (commonly referred to as toe pistons ).
Pressing a piston with your thumb or foot will cause its stored registration to be recalled
instantly.
Your Rodgers organ has factory-set registrations on many pistons – try them!
However, each of the available pistons in the Rodgers combination action can be easily changed
to suit your particular needs and tastes. The next section introduces this extremely useful system
and illustrates how to make use of its many features.
About General and Divisional Pistons
The T797 has two different types of pistons, general and divisional pistons. General pistons
affect the entire organ, while divisional pistons affect a single division. For example, you
could use a single
general piston to recall stops, couplers and MIDI settings on every
division at once, or you could use a Swell divisional piston to change the Swell alone.
General pistons, numbered 1 to 10, are located on thumb pistons under the left-hand side of
the Great and Swell manual. In addition, they are duplicated on toe pistons to the left of the
expression shoes.
To recall a registration stored on a general piston, you could press either the corresponding
thumb piston or toe piston; in other words, to select general piston 7, you could either press
thumb piston 7 under the Swell manual or toe piston 7 on the kneeboard. This duplication of
pistons allows you to use either your thumb or foot to recall the same registration, depending
on what is most convenient.
The Rodgers MIDI system is covered in great detail, starting on page 50.
