Viscount Physis Organs Reference Manual
WARNING!
This group of rear connections is not visible from the outside and the organ’s wooden rear panel has
to be removed to access it. Contact qualified staff for this procedure.
28. Reverse Pistons.
Each of these pistons, when active, deactivates several functions and stops, without acting on the normal
pistons dedicated to these functions and stops. Thanks to the reverse pistons it is possible to switch on/
off several stops and functions quickly and at the same time. When the reverse pistons are deactivated,
the functions will be re-activated.
- [MIDI REVERS.]: turns off all the MIDI controls.
However, even when MIDI REVERS. is active, it is still possible to program the MIDI controls.
- [32’ FLUTE REVERS.]: deactivates all 32’ flutes.
- [32’ REED REVERS.]: deactivates all 32’ reeds.
29. Power switch for the [EXT +12V DC] connector.
This connector is situated on the rear panel.
30. Tremolo controls.
Here are the tremolo of each section (1st Tremolo, see par. 8.2) and, if present, the one dedicated to the
register Vox Humana (2nd Tremolo, see par. 8.2).
The [GREAT / PEDAL] pedal works also as Crescendo pedal. For further information about this function
read par. 9.6.
One of the pedals is actually equipped with a leverage system and can be used to control the sustain effect
for Orchestral voices.
26. [CRESCENDO] pedal.
With this pedal you can select the Crescendo level. These levels activate a fixed set of stops, linked with
an equal number of loudness, from pianissimo to fortissimo.
The current level is shown on the additional [CRESCENDO] display (see point 13). The Crescendo
controls all the registers, and modifies the stops configuration.
Each level of the crescendo can be programmed. To save the Crescendo configuration, see point 20.
27. Rear connections.
On the rear of the organ, there are various sockets to connect it to an external speaker systems, together
with line and microphone input.
- [EXT. +12V DC] connectors: +12 Volt can be obtained from these connectors to switch-on any
VISCOUNT speaker connected to the PROG. OUT. outputs.
- OUT [GEN. SUB] (General Sub-Woofer): dedicated output for the connection with low-frequency
speakers (sub-woofers).
- PROG. OUT (Programmable Outputs): the instrument’s general line outputs, allowing simulation of
the wind-chests of pipe organs. The signals are distributed over the outputs on the basis of the
EXTERNAL OUTPUT ROUTER settings (see par. 9.10). These settings allow you to select the type
of wind-chest, its size and the position in space of the speakers. Each output also has dedicated level
and equalization controls (see par. 9.11 and 9.8).
- INPUT [L(+R)] / [R]: line inputs which allow other instruments to be played using the
organ’s internal amplification. If the source is monophonic use the [L+(R)] connector only.
- INPUT [MIC]: microphone input allowing amplification of the signal from a microphone.
- [GAIN]: trimmer for regulating the gain of the input signal received at the [MIC] connector.
