REVERSiBLES
The Rodgers 960 is equipped with reversible pistons and toe pistons. These control
certain couplers, stops and functions. Press the piston
or
toe piston to turn on, and press again
to turn off.
All
reversible pistons light when engaged.
EXPRESSION SHOES
The Rodgers 960 has two expression shoes. The left shoe controls the voices
in
the Choir
division, and the
middle shoe controls the voices
in
the Swell division.
ORCHESTRAL EXPRESSION
TO
CHOIR
The Orchestral Expression to Choir feature allows the orchestral voices to be expressed with
the Choir expression shoe. The Orchestral division
is
normally expressed with the Swell
expression shoe.
GREAT~EDALENCLOSED
As
in
most three manual classical pipe organs, the Great and Pedal divisions are
unenclosed and are unaffected by the expression shoes. When the GT-PD ENCL piston
is
lit,
however, the Great and Pedal are enclosed and are expressed by the Choir expression shoe.
FESTIVAL TRUMPET ENCLOSED
The Festival Trumpet
is
normally unenclosed and is unaffected by the expression shoes.
When the FEST
TR
ENCL pistonis lit, the Festival Trumpet
is
enclosed and
is
expressed by
the Choir expression shoe.
ALL SWELLS
TO
SWELL
For ease
of
expression control using only one shoe, press the ALL SWELLS piston.
When
it
is
lit, the Choir and Swell divisions are expressed with the Swell expression shoe.
If
the ALL SWELLS, GT-PD ENCL and FEST TR ENCL are
all
lit, the entire organ
is
enclosed
and
is
expressed by the Swell expression shoe.
CRV.sCV,NDO AND ORCHESTRAL CRESCENDO
The slightly raised shoe to the right
of
the swell expression shoe
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
or
move.
There
is
a lighted Crescendo/Tutti indicator located on the back coupler rail to the far
right
of
the tilt tabs above the swell manual. There are eight lighted green segments
to
indicate
the progressive stages
of
the Standard
or
Orchestral Crescendo
as
the pedal
is
depressed.
Two independent Crescendo sequences are provided. The Standard Crescendo sequence
is
available when the organ is first turned on, and anytime the ORCH CRESC piston is unlit.
