4OPERATION
4.1 Volume controls
Organ:You can adjust the volume of the organ with the ORGAN volume control.
Cathedral: The reverb volume can be adjusted smoothly with the CATHEDRAL
volume control.
4.2 Expression pedal
With the expression pedal the volume of the Swell or the entire organ can be
changed. By default the expression pedal
functions for the Swell only. This is indicated on
the display with Exp:Sw.
Using the Johannus Menu the expression pedal can also be set as a general swell
for the entire organ, see § 4.11.4. If the
expression pedal is set as general swell, this is
indicated on the display with Exp:GS.
Using the expression pedal also changes the timbre of the Swell stops. By this the
effect of a swell box of a pipe organ is simulated.
4.3 Adaptive Surround Reverb ASR 12
The ASR 12 reverb system produces a digital acoustic effect. This effect provides a
spatial reproduction of the organ sound that can be adjusted continuously.
Turn the volume control CATHEDRAL to adjust the reverb volume.
The reverb length can be set using the Johannus Menu. See § 4.11.9. The length
can be set for each intonation style.
The following 12 reverb types can be selected for each intonation style in the
Johannus Menu:
Abbey Church
Basilica
City Cathedral
Concert Hall
Hill Church
Marble Church
Marble Room
Music Room
Palace Hall
Royal Auditorium
Town Church
Village Chapel
See § 4.11.9 for assigning a reverb to an intonation style.

Select an intonation style by pressing the ROM, SYM, BAR or HIS piston.
4.5 Stops
The stops are activated via rocker switches, pre-programmed memory locations or

Pedal couplers:
GREAT - PEDAL: Fully couples all keys of the Great to the Pedal.
SWELL - PEDAL: Fully couples all keys of the Swell to the Pedal.
Manual Bass:
Couples the Pedal monophonic to the Great. Only the lowest key that is played on
the Great is coupled from the Pedal to the Great.
Activate the Manual Bass with the MANUAL BASS stop.
If only the lowest key of a chord is released, the pedal key activated by the
Manual Bass function is dropped until a new lowest key is played. This should
prevent the bass keys from "jumping".
4.7 Accessories
Chorus (CH):
Chorus is a function for lightly detuning the organ stops to give it a broader and
livelier sound. Use the CH piston to activate the Chorus.
Reeds Off (RO):
Reeds off is a function to switch off all reed stops simultaneously. As long as this
piston is pressed, no reed stops can be activated. When this function is switched
off, the reed stops that were on are activated again. Use the RO piston to activate
the Reeds Off function.

The 0 piston cancels registration in two ways:
1. A short press on the 0 piston: Only the last change is cancelled.
2. A long press on the 0 piston: All registrations are cancelled.
