Using Pistons to Select Registrations
Experiment with various combinations of stops and couplers and start to get a feel for the
tremendous versatility of the Rodgers organ. In organ terms, these combinations of stops and
couplers are referred to as registrations. Once a desirable registration is found, it can be
recalled quickly and easily. This is done using the combination action pistons of the organ.
You can store and recall stops, couplers, pistons and even MIDI settings at the touch of a button.
General Pistons Toe Pistons Divisional Pistons
These pistons are located beneath the manuals of the organ or adjacent to the expression shoes.
Pressing a piston will cause its stored registration to be recalled instantly. Each of the available
pistons in the Rodgers combination action can be easily changed to suit your particular needs and
tastes. The Rodgers organ has two different types of combination action pistons, general and
divisional pistons.
