Rodgers Trilogy - Preset Combination Action and Sforzando

c.
EXPRESSION PEDALS
The Trilogy is equipped with a balanced expression pedal which controls the'
volume level of the entire organ. The 32- B is provided with divided expres-
sion, which is controlled by the two expression pedals. The left pedal (marked
Great) controls the volume level of the Great and Choir divisions. The right
pedal (marked Swell) controls the level of the other divisions of the organ.
SFORZANDO PISTON
On the Model 32-B, the button marked "sforz" when pressed, brings on the
full organ instantly. Pressing the button again cancels this action. The toe
stud to the right of the expression pedals accomplishes the same thing.
PRESET COMBINATION ACTION
On
the 32- B and the Trilogy, the standard combination device is a blind, general
preset-type action. There are five Preset Pistons and one Cancel Piston. Each
Preset Piston has "Double Touch" -- a special feature of this combination action.
For increased flexibility and ease of playing, the "first touch" (light pressure) is
additive and turns on the preset combination, adding it to whatever stops are al-
ready set up on the stopboard as well as to any other presets that are on. The
"second touch" (slightly heavier pressure) is progressive and cancels all presets
except the piston being pushed. The "second touch" does not affect any stops set
up manually on the stopboard. The General Cancel Piston (0) will cancel all pre-
set combinations. Some earlier models had additive presets without "Double Touch." ..
Fifteen different combinations are possible:
1
1 - 2
1 - 2 - 3
1-2-4

Stops may also be added manually from the stopboard. The following preset'
combinations are arranged in ascending dynamic order from 1 through 4. A
