FLOATING STRING DIVISION – (accessible from four divisions):
The String Division can be played from any or all manuals except the Solo Manual. It
does not have a specific manual, therefore it “floats”. The String Division may be
expressed or unexpressed (shades open or closed) when played. There are three
pistons mounted on the left cheek block of the Swell, Great, and Choir manuals.
Each piston is accompanied with an indicator light (LED). Only one of these three
pistons may be selected at a time. When one is selected, the appropriate expression
shoe for the corresponding manual will then control the expression of the Floating
String Division. The Floating String Division may be played from more than one
manual at a time however, this division can only be expressed by one expression
shoe at a time.
