Rodgers 960 - Console Display and Menus; Combination Action System

CONSOLE DISPLAY AND MENUS
The Rodgers 960 is equipped with a two-line Console Display window located in the right
drawknob panel. This display indicates the Transposer setting, and
it can be used to alter many
other settings and organist preferences including MIDI settings, Voice Palette, and Tremulant
rate and depth, among many others.
Two controls are used to select and operate the features
of the Console Display. The
smaller knob, located near the Console Display, is called the Select Knob and is used to select
different menu items
to be changed. When the Console Display reads "TRANSPOSER 0", this
knob controls the Transposer function. The
largerflush dial, near the Console Display is
called the Alpha Dial and is used to change a menu setting which has been selected.
To move to a new menu
or to make a new setting in the same menu in the Console
Display, hold SET and turn the Select Knob.
Note: Once any menu other than the Transposer
menu has been selected, it is
no longer necessary to hold SET to selectfurther menus.
The blinking square in the Console Display, called the cursor, indicates the setting which
is currently selected. Rotating the Alpha Dial will change the value of any selected setting.
There are three different menus. The User Menu accesses organ and audio settings such
as Voice Palette, Tremulant settings, Master Volume, and Auxiliary Input controls. This menu
is accessed by holding SET and turning the Select Knob counter clockwise (left) from the
Transposer menu.
The second menu controls MIDI settings and
is accessed by holding SET and turning the
Select Knob clockwise (right) from the Transposer menu.
The third menu also accesses organ and audio settings, but it
is. only available when
headphones are used.
Note: Please refer to the "Stereo Headphone Jack" section.
To return to the Transposer display, press General Cancel.
COMBINATION ACTION WITH SIX MEMORY LEVELS
The Rodgers 960 features a combination action easily changed by the organist from the
console. The organist can pre-select registrations and make rapid changes
in tone color using
this advanced system.
Rodgers' microprocessor combination action
is a specially refined six-memory system.
This effectively multiplies the number
of physical pistons on the console by six.
The
12 General pistons simultaneously affect all stops and controls on the Great, Swell,
Choir and Pedal.
All manual and pedal registrations may be changed by pressing a General
piston.
