CRESCENDO
The slightly raised pedal on the right is the Crescendo shoe, which gradually adds a pre-determined
selection of stops as it is pressed forward. It does not affect the stops already in use on the organ but
merely adds to them. Stops added by the Crescendo do not light.
There is a lighted Crescendo/Tutti indicator located on the stop rail to the far right. There are eight
lighted green segments to indicate the progressive stages of the Crescendo as the pedal is depressed.
The Crescendo must be unlocked to set a crescendo sequence. Once the sequence is set, it may be
locked again to prevent accidental change.
Unlocking the Crescendo
1. Press and hold the ALL SWELLS piston for approximately five seconds until “CRESCENDO
LOCKED” appears in the Console Display.
2. While continuing to hold ALL SWELLS, rotate the Alpha Dial either direction until the
Console Display reads “CRESCENDO UNLOCKED.”
3. Release the ALL SWELLS piston. The Crescendo is unlocked.
Setting the Crescendo Sequence
1. Press and hold the SET piston.
2. Press the ALL SWELLS piston. The piston flashes, and the Console Display reads:
C R E S C S E T M O D E
S T D S T A G E 1
The stops and couplers currently set on stage one of the 63 stages in the Crescendo sequence
turn on.
3. The current sequence may be viewed by advancing through the stages one at a time using the
Alpha Dial. At each stage, the stage number (1 to 63) is indicated in the Console Display, and
the stops and couplers set at this stage turn on.
4. To add one or more stops to the sequence, go to the stage where the stop(s) is to be added, turn
the stop(s) on, and press SET.
5. To delete a stop(s), go to the first stage in which the stop(s) turns on, turn the stop(s) off, and
press SET.
6. Each stop can be turned on at any stage and turned off at any later stage. As an example,
assume the SWELL 8' BOURDON is to turn on at stage 1 and off at stage 25. Go to stage 1,
turn on the SWELL 8' BOURDON, and press SET. Then go to stage 25, turn off the SWELL
8' BOURDON, and press SET.
7. To clear the entire Crescendo sequence (stages 1 through 63), hold SET and press General
Cancel (0). This also resets the current stage number to 1 so that a new sequence can be
entered.
