4.1 General volume
The general volume of the organ can be adjusted with use of the Johannus Menu.
See § 5.4 General Volume.
4.2 Expression pedals
The organ has three (Ecclesia T-270), four (Ecclesia T-370 and D-470)or five (Ecclesia D-570)
expression pedals. One is configured as a crescendo pedal, the others are
configured as swell pedals for the existing divisions. The Pedal division is
combined with the Great division.
With use of the Johannus Menu, the function of the expression pedals can be
changed, see § 5.3 Expression Pedals.
Using an expression pedal which is set as a swell pedal will next to the volume
also changes the timbre of the stops. By this the effect of the swell box shutters of
a pipe organ is simulated.
