BASS
COUPLER
The name
of
this feature
is
derived from the historical term "Basso Continuo" meaning
thoroughbass. When the Bass Coupler
is
engaged, the piston lights. Any selected stops or
couplers
in
the Pedal division will sound from the lowest key being played on the Great
manual. This provides a pedal bass sound without actually playing the pedalboard.
In the default setting, the Bass Coupler affects keys 1 through 24
of
the Great manual, but
its range
is
programmable up to key 32 (top
of
the pedalboard range).

or
musical instrument not at
standard concert pitch (A=440.0). The range

or
flat.
If
the instrument has been augmented with pipes, the Master Tuning feature
is
used to
bring the electronics
in
tune with the pipes. The pitch will return to A=440.0 when the organ
is
turned off. Adjustments to the tuning cannot be made unless the Master Tuning
is
unlocked.
