TUNING CONTROL
The
702
is equipped with a TUNING control. This allows the entire organ to
be
tuned easily and
quickly to a piano
or
musical instrument not at standard concert pitch (A=440).
If
the TUNING con-
trol is pushed in, the organ will remain at standard concert pitch, and turning the control will have
no effect. To alter the pitch, pull the TUNING control out until it clicks, then
turn
the control to set
the pitch.
CHORUS
CONTROL
The
702
features a CHORUS function, which allows the Swell Division to be detuned from the
Great Division, providing even greater "warmth" to the tonal character
of
the organ. To select the
CHORUS function, press the CHORUS piston.
To
change the amount
of
detuning, hold the SET piston and press the CHORUS piston. The
CHORUS piston will begin to flash. The amount
of
detuning
may
then be adjusted
by
rotating the
tuning control. Press the CHORUS piston to save the new CHORUS adjustment. Pressing General
Cancel (0) instead
of
the CHORUS piston will cancel the new CHORUS adjustment and return the
organ to its previous CHORUS setting.
TRANSPOSER CONTROL
Turning the TRANS
POSER
control will raise
or
lower the pitch
of
the organ up to four semi-
tones (half steps). Many singers need a key change to accommodate their voice range.
The
TRANS-
POSER is especially useful for accompanying soloists, eliminating the need to mentally transpose
music on a printed sheet into a more suitable key. The TRANSPOSER helps the organist accomplish
this effortlessly.
ANTIPHONAL
ON/MAIN
OFF
The
702
is prepared with ANTIPHONAL ON/MAIN OFF pistons which can operate an addi-
tional stereo audio system. An antiphonal speaker system is usually installed at the opposite
end
of
the building from the main organ, allowing greater musical flexibility. The ANTIPHONAL
ON
pis-
ton activates this additional audio system, and the
MAIN
OFF piston turns
off
the main organ.
Note:
If
the
MAIN
OFF piston is lighted, the ANTIPHONAL
ON
piston must be lighted also,
or
the organ will not sound through either system.
