Another example of intramanual couplers is UNISON OFF. The SWELL UNISON OFF coupler
silences notes at concert or unison pitch (hence, the name) on the swell manual. The Choir
intramanual coupler is labeled CHOIR UNISON OFF and silences notes on the Choir manual.
For example, selecting the SWELL UNISON OFF coupler would cause activated stops in the Swell
division to be silent even when notes are played on the Swell manual. The Unison Off couplers
are useful when you want to couple a division somewhere else without having it sound on its
assigned manual (i.e., you want to couple stops in Swell division to the Great but don’t want
them to play from the Swell manual).
• MIDI Couplers
MIDI and MIDI/ORCH couplers are located under their respective manuals on thumb pistons.
The couplers labeled MIDI SW A and MIDI SW B for the Swell Manual,
MIDI GT A and MIDI GT B for the Great Manual, MIDI CH A and MIDI CH
B for the Choir manual and MIDI PED A and MIDI PED B for the pedals
allow sounds from an external sound module to be played from different
divisions of the organ.
Depending on model, some organs feature as many as 52 internal
orchestral voices. If the instrument has internal orchestral voices the
MIDI couplers will be labeled MIDI/ORCH SW A and MIDI/ORCH SW B for
the Swell Manual, MIDI/ORCH GT A and MIDI/ORCH GT B for the Great
Manual, MIDI/ORCH CH A and MIDI/ORCH CH B for the Choir manual and MIDI/ORCH PED A
and MIDI/ORCH PED B for the pedals.
To assign internal sounds on instruments with MIDI/ORCH pistons:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, located on the left-hand side under the Choir
manual. While holding SET press the MIDI/ORCH piston to where the sound is
to be assigned (MIDI/ORCH SW A, MIDI/ORCH GT A, etc.) and release both
pistons. The selected MIDI piston will light.
2. In the display, the word “Tones” will be highlighted.
3. Press QUICK MENU.
4. Turn the Alpha Dial to select the desired sound.
5. Press STOP t
o exit this mode. The selected sound is now stored on the selected
MIDI/ORCH piston.
6. This instrument will remember the selected sounds the next time the organ is
turned on ONLY
if you save your MIDI/ORCH sounds into a general or divisional
combination piston.
