MAIN
OFF/ANTIPHONAL
ON
CONTROLS
These
tablets operate
when
an
antiphonal
speaker
system
is
connected
to
your
Rodgers
organ
.
The
baSic
concept of
an
antiphonal division
is
to
place
antiphonal
speake
rs at
the
opposite
end
of
the
room
from
the
main
sound
source
.
This
placement allows greater musical flexibility
because
the
sound
originates
from
either
end
of
the
listening
area
,
or
from both
ends
simultaneously.
The
MAIN
OFF
tab
shuts
off
the
sound
of
the
main
body
of
speakers
,
and
the
ANTIPHONAL
ON
tab turns
on
the
auxiliary, or antiphonal
speakers
.
NOTE
:
If
the
MAIN
OFF
tab
is
depressed,
the
ANTIPHONAL
ON
must
also
be
depressed,
or
the
organ will not
sound
through either
system.
TRANSPOSER
The
Transposer
will raise or
low
er
the
pitch of
the
organ
four
semitones
(half-steps)
in
either direction.
It
is
con-
trolled
by
a
knob
at
the
right
hand
side
jamb.
The
Transposer
is
esp
ecially useful
for
accompanying, eliminating
the
need
to
mentally transpose
music
on
the
printed
sheet
into a different
key.
Many
singers
need
a
key
change
to
accommodate
their
voice
range,
som
e
times
as
far
as
a major third
in
either direction.
The
Transposer
accomplishes
th
e
se
key
changes
simply
by
twisting a
knob.
A Transposer indicator lights
when
the
transposer
is
engaged.
Another important feature of
the
Transposer
is
that it returns to normal pitch automatically
when
the
organ
is
shut
off, or
when
the
combination action
Cancel
piston
is
pushed
.
This
avoids
the
problem
of
the
organ
being
in
the
wrong
key
the
next time
it
is
played.
CRESCENDO
AND
EXPRESSION
PEDALS
The
NEWPORT
830
has
a
Cr
e
scendo
pedal
and
two
Expression

.
The

which gradually
adds
a pre-determined selection of
stops
as
it
is
pressed
forward.
The
Crescendo
pedal
does
not affect
th
e stops already
set
up
on
the
organ
but
mer
ely
adds

them.
The
Crescendo
pedal
also
has
another function.
Your
Rodg
e
rs

equipped
with a programmable
