ANTIPHONAL ON/MAIN OFF
The 805C is prepared with ANTIPHONAL ON (ANT ON)/MAIN OFF lighted pistons which can
operate an additional speaker 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
piston activates this additional speaker system, and the MAIN OFF piston turns off the main organ. Note:
If the MAIN OFF piston is engaged, the ANTIPHONAL ON piston must be engaged or the organ will not
sound through either system.(It is possisble for the installer to change the function of these pistons.)
ZIMBELSTERN
The Rodgers 805C is prepared for a Zimbelstern (bell star). This percussive device is most often used
in bright music of the Baroque period. The Zimbelstern (ZIMBEL) is activated by a lighted reversible
piston located under the Swell manual to the right.
PIPES
Any digital sampled rank in the Rodgers 805C may be replaced by a real wind-blown pipe rank. If a
limited range of pipes is available, sampled voices from the Rodgers 805C can fill out the entire range.
Preparations for controlling real expression shutters are already included in the organ software. Note:
Please refer to the “Expression Range” section.
Contact your authorized Rodgers representative for additional information.
PIPES OFF/ANCILLARY ON
If the Rodgers 805C is equipped with pipe ranks, certain stops will control pipe voices and other
stops will control digitally sampled voices. There are two pistons affecting the pipe stops of all divisions
simultaneously (ANC ON and PIPES OFF).
When the ANC ON piston is engaged, electronic voices play from the pipe stops. When the PIPES
OFF piston is engaged, the real wind blown pipes turn off. Note: If the PIPES OFF piston is engaged, the
ANC ON piston must also be engaged for the stop(s) to sound.
