Reversibles

Rodgers organs are equipped with a number of reversible controls, so named because pressing

them once will activate the function, pressing them again will deactivate the function. These

reversibles, located on thumb and toe pistons, are especially useful in a performance when you

want to quickly activate or remove a single coupler, stop or other setting. Press the thumb or

toe piston to turn on, and press again to turn off. All reversible thumb pistons light when

activated.

Expression Shoes and Controls

Rodgers three manual organs have two Expression Shoes and a Crescendo Shoe that are used

to control the volume and registration of the organ. The left shoe normally controls the volume

of the Choir division and the middle shoe controls the volume of the Swell and Solo divisions.

When the expression shoe is pressed forward, the volume of the division is increased. When

the shoe is drawn back, the volume of the division decreases. The positions of the two

expression shoes are displayed on two expression indicators, located on the right-hand side of

the coupler rail or on the display.

Crescendo Shoe and Controls

The slightly raised shoe on the right is the Crescendo shoe. This shoe gradually adds a

predetermined selection of stops as it is pressed forward. It does not affect the stops already in

use on the organ but merely adds to them as the Crescendo is activated. Closing the Crescendo

shoe subtracts the stops in reverse order. Stops added by the Crescendo shoe do not indicate

they are activated. A Crescendo indicator, which shows the position of the Crescendo shoe, is

located on the right-hand side of the coupler rail next to the two expression indicators or in the

display.

Transposer

The Transposer allows you to change the key of music played. Commonly, this is used to

accommodate a soloist or instrumentalist who prefers accompaniment in a different key than

what is written or to easily raise or lower the pitch of a hymn. The Transposer position is

normally shown in the Console Display. If another screen appears in the display (i.e., while
