6.1 ADJUSTING THE TREMULANTS (TREMULANTS function)
In a pipe organ it is of the utmost importance that the air pressure remain constant, so as to obtain a steady and
sustained sound. However, mechanical devices were introduced to generate periodical variations in the air flow.
These variations created the “tremulant” effect on the sound, which made some lead registers (such as Vox
Humana) more pleasant, and the tone of the reeds colourful.
Use the [TREMULANT] plates to activate and deactivate the effect.
The speed and depth of the modulation can be adjusted for each Style. To access the setting page, select the
TREMULANTS field under the STYLES menu:
Three-manual models Two-manual models
That show the current SPD (speed) or DPT (depth) and values of the manuals’ tremulant.
Press [EXIT] to go back to the STYLES menu and save the new settings.
6.2 REGULATING THE VOLUME OF EACH VOICE
(VOICES VOLUMES function)
The volumes for each single stop can be adjusted in a range of -12 dB to +6 dB, and allows a perfect
balance of the overall sound of the organ.
Select the VOICES VOLUMES field, in the STYLES menu. The display will show the organ sections,
select the section that contains the voice you wish to adjust:
Three-manual models Two-manual models
Use the buttons [FIELD S], [FIELD T] and [ENTER] to select the field.
A quick alternative to adjust the volumes is pressing and holding the desired stop for a few seconds. This can be
done both on this page or on the volume settings page.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Any divisional or general combination and Tutti can recall the tremulant Depth and Speed
parameters. To save Depth and Speed to combinations, activate the corresponding option through
the COMBINATIONS
