Antiphonal On/Main Off
The T967 contains controls which can operate an additional speaker system. If your instrument
is equipped with an antiphonal speaker setup, the Antiphonal On (“
ANT ON
”) piston control
will activate this system. The
MAIN OFF
piston silences the main organ system.
An antiphonal speaker system is so named because it is normally installed a substantial distance
from the main organ. This difference in physical placement allows for a variety of effects.
For example, activating the
ANT ON
and
MAIN OFF
controls will cause the entire instrument
to be heard through the antiphonal speaker system only. Activating the
ANT ON
control alone
means the organ will be heard through both the main and antiphonal organs together.
It is also for the installer to change the function of these pistons. Contact your authorized
Rodgers dealer for more information.
Zimbelstern
The Rodgers T967 has a digital Zimbelstern (bell star). This percussive device is most often
used in bright music of the Baroque period. The Zimbelstern is activated by a lighted reversible
piston (“
ZIMBEL
”) located under the left side of the Swell manual or by a toe piston. Press
either piston to activate the Zimbelstern; press them again to turn it off.
The Zimbelstern can be adjusted to suit your particular needs. Two adjustments exist for the
Zimbelstern:
Rate
and
Depth (Randomness)
.
Rate
specifies how quickly the bells are struck;
Randomness
controls the amount of variation which occurs as subsequent bells are struck — the
greater the Randomness, the more variation in how bells are struck.
