8. When building a completely new sequence, it is advisable to first write the new
sequence down without numbers, then assign stage numbers from 1 to 63 to each
stop or group of stops in the sequence. Sometimes there are more stages than stops
in the sequence, so it is necessary to skip some stages to make the sequence end at
or near stage 63. If this is not done, the sequence ends before the Crescendo Pedal
is fully depressed.
9. To exit the “CRESC SET MODE” menu at any time, press General Cancel. Any
changes in the sequence made up to this point are saved.
Note: If the original factory setting is desired, please refer to the “Restoring the Factory
Crescendo Setting” section below.
LOCKING THE CRESCENDO:
1. Press and hold the CRESC piston for approximately five seconds until
“CRESCENDO UNLOCKED” appears in the Console Display.
2. While continuing to hold CRESC, rotate the Alpha Dial either direction until the
Console Display reads “CRESCENDO LOCKED.”
3. Release CRESC. The Crescendo is locked.
RESTORING THE FACTORY CRESCENDO SETTING:
1. Press and hold the CRESC piston for approximately five seconds. The Console
Display reads “CRESCENDO LOCKED” or “CRESCENDO UNLOCKED”,
change to “CRESCENDO UNLOCKED.”

seconds. The Console Display reads “CRESCENDO FACTORY DEFAULT”.
3. Release both pistons.
TREMULANTS
Tremulants create a change in pitch (sharp and flat), amplitude (volume) and timbre (tone
quality). The use of the tremulant adds warmth to solo or small ensemble combinations. It is
not common to use tremulants in larger classical ensembles. In some romantic ensembles,
tremulants are used judiciously. In some gospel and evangelical musical traditions, tremulants
with a faster and deeper excursion are frequently used.
There are two types of tremulant controls on the Rodgers 795. The Divisional tremulants
(Great and Swell) affect only the stops in the respective division. There is one General
tremulant, the FLUTE II (FLT TREM II piston) tremulant, which affects all manual flute stops
simultaneously.
All tremulants may be individually adjusted for rate and depth by performing the
following procedure:
