INTRODUCTION
Grand, glorious sound is the hallmark of the Rodgers organ. Providing a rich and
spacious ensemble sound complemented by crystal-clear definition, the Rodgers organ will take
you to new musical heights, while sustaining the tradition of quality, craftsmanship and
innovation you’ve come to expect from Rodgers.
Dimensional Sound Modeling®is the 21st century standard in the art of digital organ
building. This technology ushers in a new era of choice and control to create authentic pipe
organ sound and room acoustics as never before possible. Dimensional Sound Modeling
technology takes you from virtual to reality. With unmatched user control over every major facet
of the organ, you can create a sound and an acoustical environment modeled to your taste and
musical needs.
Rodgers’ exclusive Voice Palette™system allows you to easily access numerous
additional sounds. These voices, available as alternate selections behind many stops, greatly
expand the tonal resources of the instrument. Each selection can be easily stored in the organ’s
memory system, allowing you to authentically recreate virtually any musical style or individual
performance desired with the push of a button.
With remarkable flexibility, superior sound and the option of adding real pipes at any
time, the Rodgers organ is a perfect choice for any home, concert or worship setting.
Built entirely in Oregon by dedicated, expert craftsmen, our consoles are meticulously
handcrafted of hardwoods and veneers, and are designed to the exacting standards of the
American Guild of Organists.
This manual will help with the exploration of the expansive capabilities and the variety of
features and functions offered by this instrument. As highly sophisticated as the Rodgers organ
is, the features are easy to use and easy to access, creating a most satisfying musical experience
for the player and listener alike. To keep abreast of the latest news and other items of interest,
visit the Rodgers website at: www.rodgersinstruments.com.
Two operational guides are included with the Rodgers organ.
Owner’s Guide
Use this guide to familiarize yourself with the basic operation and functions of the
instrument.
Advanced Features Reference Guide (referred to in this guide as the AG)
This guide provides in-depth descriptions and explanations of the many advanced controls and
features of the Rodgers organ.
!You’ll also find helpful hints and additional details in italics like this.

10
To get started, here is an overview of the basic operations of the Rodgers organ.
Turn On/Turn Off
Turning On:
Depending on model, press and hold the top of the On/Off rocker switch for
approximately 2 seconds and release or press the top of the On/Off switch labeled (―)
until it locks into place. The instrument identification message appears in the display
window. The organ then performs a diagnostic test of its systems over the next few
seconds. When completed, the display window reads TRANSPOSER O. The organ is
ready to play.
Turning Off:
Press and hold the bottom of the On/Off rocker switch for no more than 1-2
seconds and release, or press the bottom of the On/Off switch labeled (O) until it
locks into place.
!Depending on model, the organ may be equipped with an Automatic Shutdown
feature. See the AG
Manuals and Pedalboard
The organ has keyboards played by the hands, commonly referred to as manuals. Each manual
plays an assortment of stops, known as a division. The keyboard played by the feet is referred to
as the pedalboard, and stops played by the pedalboard make up the Pedal division.
Depending on model, a Solo division may also be available. This division is not assigned to a
specific manual and stops are assigned to a particular division by the organist. This may also be
referred to as a “Floating division.” Three manual organs contain, in order from bottom to top,
the Choir Manual, the Great Manual, and the Swell Manual.
Activating Stops
The term stop is used to describe a single voice on an organ. Stops are activated by Rocker
Tablets (tabs) and/or Drawknobs. Depending on model, a stop may also be activated by a

11
piston (i.e. chimes). The stop will sound if it is activated and any keys or pedals that control that
division are pressed.
To activate a stop or control, pull the drawknob or press the bottom of the tab, and release.
To deactivate a stop or control, push the drawknob or press the top of the tab, and release.
! Many stops have more than one voice to choose from. This is referred to as the
Rodgers Voice Palette™. See the AG
Couplers
Intermanual Couplers
An Intermanual Coupler is a control that allows a division of the organ to be played from a
different manual or the pedalboard. They most often function from tabs located above the Swell
manual (also called the tab rail). For example, by activating the Swell to Great 8’ coupler, stops
selected in the Swell division will play from the Great manual. (“Swell to Great” literally means,
“connect the Swell division to the Great manual”). Intermanual Couplers allow you to control a
larger portion of the organ from one manual or the pedalboard and are useful in achieving larger
and more varied registrations.
The pitch designation (8’and 4’) specifies the pitch at which the division is to be coupled. 8’
is concert pitch in organ nomenclature; when using an 8’ coupler, the division is coupled at
its normal pitch.
4’ pitch is an octave above 8’ pitch. When a 4’ coupler is used, the division is coupled an
octave higher than normal. This nomenclature is similar to the pitch designation used in
organ stops.
8’ intermanual couplers are commonly used when building large ensemble registrations,
whereas 4’ couplers are usually not employed.
4’ couplers are often used with celeste stops in more gentle registrations; they effectively
increase the number of notes that are sounding and increase the warmth and breadth of the
ensemble.

12
Intramanual Couplers
Intramanual couplers are different from intermanual couplers in that they operate within a
single organ division. These couplers allow you to play stops of the organ at a different pitch
level on the same manual where the stop is located. These couplers are often referred to as Sub
Couplers and Super Couplers. For example, by activating the Swell to Swell 16’ coupler
(Sub), the stops selected in the Swell division will sound one octave lower than the key played
on the Swell manual. An exception is the first octave where the lowest 12 notes will only sound
at unison pitch. With the Swell to Swell 4’ coupler (Super) activated, the stops selected in the
Swell division will sound one octave higher than the key played on the Swell manual. An
exception is the last octave where the highest 12 notes will not play if the selected stop is 2' or
shorter.
Another example of intramanual couplers is UNISON OFF. The SWELL UNISON OFF
coupler silences notes at concert or unison pitch (hence, the name) on the swell manual. The
Choir intramanual coupler is labeled CHOIR UNISON OFF and silences notes on the Choir
manual.
For example, selecting the SWELL UNISON OFF coupler would cause activated stops in the
Swell division to be silent even when notes are played on the Swell manual. The Unison Off
couplers are useful when you want to couple a division somewhere else without having it sound
on its assigned manual (i.e., you want to couple stops in Swell division to the Great but don’t
want them to play from the Swell manual).
MIDI Couplers
MIDI and MIDI/ORCH couplers are located under their respective manuals on pistons
(commonly referred to as thumb pistons).
The couplers labeled MIDI SW A and MIDI SW B for the Swell Manual, MIDI GT A and
MIDI GT B for the Great Manual, MIDI CH A and MIDI CH B for the Choir manual and
MIDI PED A and MIDI PED B for the pedals allow sounds from an external sound module to
be played from different divisions of the organ. Depending on model, some organs feature as
many as 52 internal orchestral voices. If the instrument has internal orchestral voices the MIDI
couplers will be labeled MIDI/ORCH SW A and MIDI/ORCH SW B for the Swell Manual,
MIDI/ORCH GT A and MIDI/ORCH GT B for the Great Manual, MIDI/ORCH CH A and
MIDI/ORCH CH B for the Choir manual and MIDI/ORCH PED A and MIDI/ORCH PED B
for the pedals.

13
To assign internal sounds on instruments with MIDI/ORCH pistons:
1. Press and hold the SET piston, located on the left-hand side under the Choir
manual. While holding SET press the MIDI/ORCH piston to where the sound is
to be assigned (MIDI/ORCH SW A, MIDI/ORCH GT A, etc.) and release both
pistons. The selected MIDI piston will light.
2. In the display, the word “Tones” will be highlighted.
3. Press QUICK MENU.
4. Turn the Alpha dial to select the desired sound.
5. Press STOP, located to the right under the Choir manual, to exit this mode. The
selected sound is now stored on the selected MIDI/ORCH piston.
6. This instrument will remember the selected sounds the next time the organ is
turned on ONLY if you save your MIDI/ORCH sounds into a general or
divisional combination piston.
!For assigning sounds from an external sound module see the AG.
Using Pistons to Select Registrations
Experiment with various combinations of stops and couplers and start to get a feel for the
tremendous versatility of the Rodgers organ. In organ terms, these combinations of stops and
couplers are referred to as registrations. Once a desirable registration is found, it can be
recalled quickly and easily. This is done using the combination action pistons of the organ.
You can store and recall stops, couplers, pistons and even MIDI settings at the touch of a button.
General Pistons Toe Pistons Divisional Pistons
These pistons are located beneath the manuals of the organ or adjacent to the expression shoes.
Pressing a piston will cause its stored registration to be recalled instantly. Each of the available
pistons in the Rodgers combination action can be easily changed to suit your particular needs and
tastes. The Rodgers organ has two different types of combination action pistons, general and
divisional pistons.

14
General Pistons
General pistons affect the entire organ. Up to 12 General pistons are available, depending on
model. They are located on thumb pistons under the left-hand side of the Great and Swell
manuals. In addition, they are duplicated on toe pistons adjacent to the expression shoes. To
recall a registration stored on a general piston, you could press either the corresponding thumb
piston or toe piston; in other words, to select general piston 3, you could either press thumb
piston 3 under the Swell manual or toe piston 3. The duplication of pistons allows you to use
either your hand or foot to recall the same registration, depending on what is most convenient.
Divisional Pistons
Divisional pistons affect a single division. There are up to six divisional pistons for the Great,
Swell and Choir; these pistons are either numbered from one to as many as six or one to five
with the sixth labeled Ofor the divisional cancel depending on model. These pistons are located
under the corresponding manual. For example, Great divisional pistons are located underneath
the Great manual near the middle of the keyboard. Swell divisional pistons are below the Swell
manual, and Choir divisional pistons are located under the Choir manual.
Some Rodgers models feature Pedal divisional pistons. They are located on the toe pistons to the
right of the expression shoes or under the Choir manual to the far left.
General and Divisional Cancel
When TRANSPOSER is displayed in the window, ALL stops, couplers and MIDI settings can
be cleared by pressing the General Cancel piston, (O) located under the Choir manual at the
right-hand side of the keyboard. Depending on model, stops can be cleared in a particular
division by pressing a Divisional Cancel piston (O) located to the right of the #5 divisional
combination action pistons.
Setting a Piston
The Rodgers organ is equipped with factory registrations, each of which can be used for a wide
variety of musical effects. However, the contents of any piston can be easily changed to suit
your particular needs. To set a new registration on a piston:
1. Select the desired stops, couplers and MIDI settings.
2. Press and hold the SET piston. While continuing to hold SET, press the piston
(General or Divisional) to be programmed.
3. Release both pistons. The new registration is now stored.
!A memory level must be unlocked before it can be changed. See below.

15
Combination Memory Levels
Rodgers advanced combination action system has up to 100 memory levels depending on model.
This effectively multiplies the number of available combination pistons by up to 100.
Combinations stored one memory level don’t affect those stored on other memory levels; each of
the memories is independent.
Many organists keep regularly used registrations, such as those used for hymns, on one memory
and use other memory levels for preludes, postludes and choral accompaniments, which may
change week to week.*
*Note: A variety of useful registrations have already been stored when the organ arrives from
the factory.
Selecting Memory Levels
Memory Levels can be selected by pressing the corresponding piston M1, M2, M3, etc. or the
pistons labeled M+, or M- depending on model. When M+ and M- are used, the selected
memory level appears in the display window.
To select a memory level:
Press the corresponding memory piston (M1, M2, M3, etc.). The piston will light or
press the M+ piston or M- piston until the desired level 1 thru 100 (labeled 0),
depending on model, is displayed in the window. In either case, M1 is automatically
selected when the organ is turned on.
! With Rodgers Memory Card System™ or USB data port unlimited memory levels are
available. See the AG
Console Displays, Indicators, and Menus
The Rodgers organ is equipped with an informative display for many of the console functions
described in this section. The Console Display normally indicates the Transposer setting,
however, it can be used to adjust many other controls and preferences including MIDI settings,
Voice Palette selections, Dimensional Sound Modeling parameters, Tremulant rate and depth,
and many others.
Two controls are used to select and modify the features found in the Console Display. The
smaller knob is the Select knob; it is used to select the menu item to be changed. The larger dial
is called the Alpha dial; it is used to change the settings in a selected menu. Most of the features
that can be modified in the Console display will follow this pattern:

16
Alpha Dial – always the larger dial and changes the selected item
Select Knob – always the smaller knob and selects the item
The Alpha dial and Select knob may also be configured and shown below.

Reversibles
Rodgers organs are equipped with a number of reversible controls, so named because pressing
them once will activate the function, pressing them again will deactivate the function. These
reversibles, located on thumb and toe pistons, are especially useful in a performance when you
want to quickly activate or remove a single coupler, stop or other setting. Press the thumb or toe
piston to turn on, and press again to turn off. All reversible thumb pistons light when activated.
Expression Shoes and Controls
Rodgers three manual organs have two Expression Shoes and a Crescendo Shoe that are used
to control the volume and registration of the organ. The left shoe normally controls the volume
of the Choir division and the middle shoe controls the volume of the Swell and Solo divisions.
When the expression shoe is pressed forward, the volume of the division is increased. When the
shoe is drawn back, the volume of the division decreases. The positions of the two expression
shoes are displayed on two expression indicators, located on the right-hand side of the coupler
rail or on the display.
Crescendo Shoe and Controls
The slightly raised shoe on the right is the Crescendo shoe. This shoe gradually adds a
predetermined selection of stops as it is pressed forward. It does not affect the stops already in
use on the organ but merely adds to them as the Crescendo is activated. Closing the Crescendo
shoe subtracts the stops in reverse order. Stops added by the Crescendo shoe do not indicate
they are activated. A Crescendo indicator, which shows the position of the Crescendo shoe, is
