Rodgers Windsor 840 Pipe Augmented - Crescendo and Expression Pedals; Tutti Piston and Toe Stud

CRESCENDO AND EXPRESSION PEDALS
The WINDSOR 840 has a Crescendo Pedal and two Expression Pedals. The pedal on the right (\vhich is slightly
raised) is the Crescendo Pedal which gradually adds a pre-determined selection of stops as it is pressed forward. The
Crescendo Pedal does not affect the stops already set up on the organ but merely adds to them.
The Crescendo pedal also has another function. Your Rodgers Organ is equipp'ed with a programmable ORCHES-
TRAL CRESCENDO, giving the organist a romantic crescendo sequence that includes tremulants and celestes.
By pushing the Orchestral Crescendo (ORCH CRESC) thumb piston, located under the Swell manual, you will disen-
gage the standard Crescendo and engage the Orchestral Crescendo. Instructions for setting the Orchestral Crescendo
follow:
1. Both memories must be unlocked to allow the Crescendo sequence to be changed.
2. Hold SET and press the ORCH CRESC piston. It will start flashing.
3. The combinations on the first position of the Crescendo shoe will be displayed. Make any changes you desire and
press SET.
4. Repeat step 3 for the remaining 60 positions.
5. l\fter the last position has been set, the ORCH CRESC piston stops flashing.
The Pedal in the middle is the Swell E)("pression Pedal which controls the overall volume or loudness of the Swell
organ. The pedal on the left is the ChoirlPositiv Expression Pedal which controls the overall volume or loudness of the
Choir/Positiv, Great, and Pedal divisions. These pedals are used to give variety of expression to the music played. Pressing
the pedal forward increases the volume. Drawing back decreases the volume. (Note: The Great and Choir/Positiv pipes are
not expressed.)
GREAT/PEDAL UNEXPRESSIVE TABLET
In most traditional pipe organ tonal schemes, the Great and Pedal organs are non-expressive. Because of the flexi-
bilityof
Rodgers microprocessor circuitry, the Great and Pedal electronic voices can normaJly be expressed from t.he Choir/
Positiv expression pedal. If, however, the organist desires the more traditional scheme, the GT/PED UNEXPRESSIVE tablet
may be turned on. This will release the Great and Pedal stops from the control of the Choir/Positiv expression pedal (except
for the 16' BOURDON DOUX, 16' CONTRE TROMPETTE, 8' TRO~1PETTE and 4' CLAIRON, which are duplexed from the
Swell, and continue to express). This tablet may be set on the general pistons.
TUTTI PISTON AND TOE STUD
Sometimes it is desirable to have a full organ registration suddenly and quickly. To do so on the WINDSOR 840
simply push the TUTTI Piston or TUTTI Toe Stud. To cancel the full organ (TUTTI), push the TUTTI Piston or the TUTTI Toe
Stud again.
On your Rodgers Organ you can actually set your own Tutti. To do so, follow the instructions below.
TO READ WHAT IS SET ON TUTTI:
While holding TUTTI in, press the SET piston.
TO SET TUTTI:
Unlock either Memory 1or Memory 2.
Set up your desired combination, then \vhile holding SET in, press TUTTI.
Turn off the organ to relock the memory.
