Melody Coupler
One of the most popular organ registrations utilizes a melody voice on one manual and
accompaniment on another manual. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to separate the hands on
two manuals. For this reason, the Rodgers
Melody coupler was devised.
When a Melody coupler is activated, the highest note played on the Great manual uses a
registration from another manual. This allows you to have both an accompaniment and solo
registration, even though you’re playing on one manual.
The coupler is located on a thumb piston above the Swell manual. The Melody coupler lights
when it is engaged.
When MEL is engaged, any selected stop or MIDI voice in the Swell division sounds from the
highest key being played on the Great manual.
The Melody coupler is intended to be used when the corresponding intermanual coupler is not
engaged. For example, when Melody is engaged, the Swell to Great couplers should not be used
to achieve the proper “Melody” affect.
In its default setting, the Melody coupler operates when the top note (the melody note) is
between keys 25 and 61 on the Great manual. However, the lower end of its range is
programmable and may be extended down to key 13 or up to key 49. See page 27.
Bass Coupler
The Bass coupler is much like the Melody coupler described above, except that it adds the Pedal
registration to the lowest note played on the Great manual. This allows you to easily add a Pedal
part to anything played on the Great manual.
The BASS coupler is located on a thumb piston above the Swell manual. When engaged, the
piston lights, and any selected registration in the Pedal division will sound from the lowest key
being played on the Great manual. This provides a pedal bass sound without actually playing the
pedalboard.
In the default setting, the Bass Coupler affects keys 1 through 24 of the Great manual, but its
range is can extend up to key 32 (top of the pedalboard range). See page 27 for more details.
The Melody Coupler can be set only in General combination pistons.
