FOUR MEMORY COMBINATION ACTION
(Pistons)
The CAMBRIDGE 785 features a combination action easily changed by the organist from the
console. The organist can pre-select favorite registrations and make rapid changes in tone color
using this advanced system. Most pistons will light when pressed.
Rodgers microprocessor combination action is a specifically refined four memory system. This
gives the organist a total
of 40 general combinations (activated by pistons and toe studs) and 20
independent divisional combinations each for the Swell, Great and Pedal, and 12 divisional
combinations for the Positiv. Pedal combinations are activated by toe studs only.

COUPLERS
There are two types of couplers on the CAMBRIDGE 785: intermanual and intramanual.
~ The intermanual couplerenables stops of one division to be played on
another keyboard
or pedalboard. Examples of intermanual couplers are
SWELL TO GREAT 8' and SWELL TO GREAT 4'. These couplers are
located on the tilt tabs above the Swell manual.
INTERMANUAL

~ The intramanual coupler allows stops to be played at a different pitch level or levels
on the manual where the stop is located. Examples
of intramanual couplers are
SWELL TO SWELL 16' and SWELL TO SWELL 4'.
(Note: The 16' coupler is also known as a Sub Octave Coupler,
and the 4' coupleris also known as an Octave Coupler.)
These couplers are located on drawknobs in the Swell division.
INTRAMANUAL

REVERSffiLES
The CAMBRIDGE 785 is equipped with reversible pistons and toe studs. These control certain
couplers, stops and functions. Press the piston
or toe stud to turn on, and press again to turn off. All
reversible pistons will light (except the zimbelstern) when activated.
TREMULANTS
(Vibrato and/or Tremolo)
Tremulants create a change in pitch (sharp and flat) and in amplitude (volume). The use of the
tremulant adds warmth to solo
or small ensemble combinations and is useful in gospel andromantic
music. The Swell division has an independent tremulant, and the Great and Positiv share a tremulant
located in the Great division. The FLUTE VIBRATO piston affects all the flute voices on the
manual divisions
of the organ. It is a deeper and faster tremulant than the other tremulants. Each
independent tremulant is adjustable for both speed and depth. It is recommended that these
adjustments be made by Authorized Personnel Only.
TUTTI
There are times when a full organ registration is needed immediately.
The CAMBRIDGE 785 is equipped with a
TUTII piston and a TUTII
toe stud that can be set with any combination of stops. Push the TUTTI
piston
or the TUTTI toe stud. This piston and toe stud are reversible,
so simply push again to cancel. When TUTTI is in use, the top
four segments
of the Crescendo!futti indicator will light red to
indicate
TUTII is on. The Crescendo!futti indicator is located
to the right
of the tilt tabs above the Swell manual.
~TO VIEW WHAT IS SET ON TUTTI:
While holding a TUTTI piston in, press SET piston. To turn off
indicator, press cancel.
~ TO SET TUTTI:

CRESCENDO AND ORCHESTRAL CRESCENDO PEDAL
The CAMBRIDGE 785 has a Crescendo Pedal and two Expression Pedals.
The slightly raised pedal on the right is the Crescendo Pedal, which gradually adds a factory
pre-determined selection
of stops as it is pressed forward. The Crescendo Pedal does not affect the
stops already set up
on the organ but merely adds to them. Stops added by the Crescendo Pedal do
not light.
Two independent Crescendo sequences are provided. The Standard sequence is available when
the organ is first turned on, and anytime the
ORCH CRESC piston is unlit. The CAMBRIDGE 785
is also equipped with an Orchestral Crescendo, giving
the organist a romantic crescendo sequence
that includes tremulants and celestes. Pressing the
ORCH CRESC piston, which is a reversible
piston, causes
it to light and activates the Orchestral Crescendo sequence.
When the Crescendo Pedal
or the Orchestral Crescendo Pedal is in use, the Crescendo{futti
indicator will light green in segments (from bottom to top), as the pedal is depressed and more stops
are added.
A change in the setting
of eithercrescendo differing from the sequence set at the factory may be
desired. (Note:
If the original factory setting is everdesired in the future, please refer to the back of
this manual.)
~HOW TO SET THE STANDARD CRESCENDO:
6
1. Make sure the Standard Crescendo sequence is selected. (The ORCH
CRESC piston will be unlit for the setting of Standard Crescendo.) (Note: The
Crescendo cannot be set unless it is unlocked. Please refer to "Locking
or Unlocking
Combination Memories, Crescendos
or Tutti" at the back of this manual.)
2.
Hold SET and press the ORCH CRESC piston. The ORCH CRESC piston
will flash, and the console display will indicate:
~-occ~- ccT m,-,,-, c
L/,C_ll __ IL I /ILILIL
I-TII ,-Til 1- ,- 7
JILl JIIIIJC I
The stops and couplers currently set on stage one of the 63 stages in the crescendo sequence
will light.
3.
The current sequence may be viewed by advancing through the stages one at a
time using the SELECTknob. At each stage, the stage number
(1 to 63) will be
indicated on the display, and the stops and couplers set on the stage will light.

4. To add one or more stops to the sequence, go to the stage where the stop(s) are
to be added, turn on the stop(s) and press SET.
5. To delete a stop, go to the first stage in which the stop turns on, turn off the
stop and press SET.
6. Each stop can be turned on at any stage and turned off at any later stage. As
an example, assume the 8' PRINCIPAL is to go on at stage one and
off at stage
25. Go to stage one, turn on the 8' PRINCIPAL and press SET. Then go to stage
25, turn
off the 8' PRINCIPAL and press SET.
7. To clear the entire crescendo sequence (stages 1 through 63), hold SET and press
General Cancel. This will also reset the current stage to number one.
8. When building a completely new sequence, it is advisable to first write the sequence
down, then assign stage numbers from 1 to 63 to each stop
or group of stops in the
sequence. Usually, 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 will end before the Crescendo Pedal is fully depressed.
9.
To exit the Crescendo Set Mode at any time, press GENERAL CANCEL. Any changes
in the sequence made up to that point will be saved.
~HOW TO SET THE ORCHESTRAL CRESCENDO:
1. Select Orchestral Crescendo using the ORCH CRESC piston. (The ORCH
CRESC piston will be lit for the setting
of the Orchestral Crescendo.) (Note: The
Crescendo cannot be set unless it is unlocked. Please refer to "Locking orUnlocking
Combination Memories, Crescendos or Tutti at the back of this manual.)
2.
Hold SET and press ORCH CRESC piston. The ORCH CRESC piston
will flash, and the console display will indicate:

3. The current sequence may be viewed by advancing through the stages one at a
time using the SELECTknob. At each stage, the stage number
(1 to 63) will be
indicated on the display, and the stops and couplers set on the stage will light.
4. To add one
or more stops to the sequence, go to the stage where the stop(s) are
to be added,
tum on the stop(s) and press SET.
5. To delete a stop, go to the first stage in which the stop turns on, tum off the
stop and press SET.
6. Each stop can be turned on at any stage and turned off at any later stage. As an
example, assume the 8' FLUTE CELESTE II is to go on at stage one and
off at stage
25.
Go to stage one, tum on the 8' FLUTE CELESTE II and press SET. Then go to
stage 25,
tum off the 8' FLUTE CELESTE II andpress SET.
7. To clearthe entire crescendo sequence (stages 1 through 63), hold SET and press
GENERAL CANCEL. This will also reset the current stage to number one.
8. When building a completely new sequence, it is advisable to first write the sequence
down, then assign stage numbers from 1 to 63 to each stop
or group of stops in the
sequence. Usually, 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 will end before the Crescendo Pedal is fully depressed.
9. To exit the Crescendo Set Mode at any time, press GENERAL CANCEL. Any changes
in the sequence made up to that point will be saved.
EXPRESSION PEDALS
The pedal in the middle controls the overall volume of the Swell and Positiv divisions. The
pedal on the left controls the overall volume
of the Great and Pedal divisions. These pedals are used
to give variety
of expression to the music played. Pressing the pedal forward increases the volume;
drawing back decreases the volume.
POSITIV UNENCLOSED
Many traditional pipe organs are tonally designed with the Positiv division non-expressive. On
the CAMBRIDGE 785, the Positiv division voices are normally expressed with the pedal in the
middle.
If a more traditional effect is desired by the organist, the Positiv Unenclosed tilt tab allows
the Positiv division voices to play at full volume, while the Swell remains under expression.
GREAT TO SWELL EXPRESSION COUPLER
The Great to Swell Expression Coupler allows all the manual divisions and the Positiv division
to be expressed by using the middle expression pedal. The Pedal division remains expressive on the
left pedal.

THE BASS PISTON
Thename ofthis feature isderivedfrom the ancientterm "BassoContinuo," meaningthoroughbass.
When this pistonispushed, it will light. Any stops
or couplers on in the Pedal division will soundfrom
the lowestkey beingplayedon the Great manual. Thisprovides a pedal bass without having to actually
play the pedalboard with the feet.
Initsnormalsetting,the BASS Piston affectskeys 1through24
of theGreatmanual, butitsrange
is programmable. Asfew notes as 1through 13,
or as many notes as 1through 32 may be programmed.
n- HOW TO SET THE RANGE OF THE BASS PISTON:
1. Hold SE~ and press the BASS Piston, which will start flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While the BASS Piston is flashing, press a key which corresponds to
the highest note the range is to extend. Any note from key
13 to key
32 may be selected. After the selected key has been pressed, the BASS
Piston will shut off. (Note: When key is pressed to set the range, no sound
will be heard even
if stops are on, so no disturbance will be made if programming
during a performance.)
4.
To use the new range, press the BASS Piston. (Note: When the organ is
turned off, the range
of the Bass Piston will revert to notes 1 through 24.)

THE MELODY PISTON
WhentheMelodyPiston(MELSW) is pushed,itwilllight. Anystop or coupler of theSwell division
will sound from the highest key being played on the Great manual. This allows a solo melody and an
accompaniment to be played from the same manual.
Initsnormal setting,the Melody Piston affectskeys 25 through
61 ontheGreatmanual,butits range
is programmable. The range may be extended down to key 13,
or it may stop at key 49.
~HOW TO SET THE RANGE OF THE MELODY PISTON:
10
1. Hold SET and press the MEL SW Piston, which starts flashing.
2. Release both pistons.
3. While the MEL
SW Piston is flashing, press a key which corresponds to
the lowest note the range is to extend. Any note from key
13 to key 49 may be
selected. After the selected key has been pressed, the MEL
SW Piston will
stop flashing. (Note: When the organ is turned off, the range
of the
MEL SW Piston will revert to keys 25 through 61.)
c:

TUNING KNOB
The CAMBRIDGE 785 is equipped with a TUNING knob. This allows the entire organ t() be
tuned easily and quickly to a piano or musical instrument not at standard concert pitch (A 440).
If
the TUNING knob is pushed in, the organ will remain at standard concert pitch, and turning the
knob will have no effect.
To alter the pitch, pull the TUNING knob out until it clicks, then turn the
knob to set the pitch.
If the CAMBRIDGE 785 has been augmented with pipes, the TUNING Knob
can be used to bring the pipes and electronics in tune with each other.
TRANSPOSER
The TRANSPOSER is the default function for the console display and SELECT knob. Turning
the SELECT knob while the TRANSPOSER is displayed will raise orlower the pitch
of the organ
up to four semitones (halfsteps). Many singers need a key change to accommodate their voice
range. The TRANSPOSER is especially useful for accompanying soloists, eliminating the need
to
mentally transpose music on a printed sheet into a more suitable key. The TRANSPOSER helps the
organist accomplish this effortlessly.
HEADPHONE JACK
The CAMBRIDGE 785 has a Headphone Jack located under the keydesk to the left in the black
box. When a set
of headphones is plugged into the jack, the speaker system shuts off, allowing the
organist privacy when playing.
If the organ is equipped with pipes, the pipes will also shut off. It is
recommended that you use a standard 8 ohm stereo headphone set. YourHeadphone Jack is
designed to run only ONE set
of headphones at a time.
ZIMBELSTERN
The CAMBRIDGE 785 is prepared for a Zimbelstern (bell star). This percussive device is most
often used in bright music
of the Baroque period. The Zimbelstern (ZIMBEL) is activated by an
unlighted reversible piston and toe stud (push to turn on, push again to turn off).
ANTIPHONAL ON/MAIN OFF
The CAMBRIDGE 785 is prepared with ANTIPHONAL ON/MAIN OFF tablets which can
operate an additional speaker system. An antiphonal speaker system is usually installed at the
opposite end
of the building from the main organ, allowing greater musical flexibility. The
ANTIPHONAL ON tilt tab activates this additional speaker system, and the MAIN OFF tablet turns
off the main organ. (Note: If the MAIN OFF tablet is depressed, the ANTIPHONAL ON tablet must
also be depressed
or the organ will not sound through either system.)
11
~

RODGERS HAND-CRAFTED PIPES
All CAMBRIDGE 785 instruments are designed to incorporate from 2 to 24 ranks of
hand-crafted pipes. These pipes are exquisitely built to Rodgers exacting standards from the fmest
metals and woods. Pipe ranks can
be included in the specification of the CAMBRIDGE 785 at the
time
of purchase or as future additions.
PIPES OFF/ANCILLARY ON
When the CAMBRIDGE 785 is equipped with pipe ranks, certain stops will control pipe ranks
and other stops will control electronic ranks. There are two reversible pistons affecting the pipe
stops
of the Great, Positiv and Pedal divisions.
When an ANCILLARY
ON piston is pressed, electronic stops are added to the pipe stops.
When both PIPES OFF and ANCILLARY ON pistons are pressed, the pipes are silenced and only
electronic stops sound. (Note:
If a PIPES OFF piston is turned on without turning on the
corresponding ANCILLARY ON piston, the affected stops will not sound at all.)
MIDI
(Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
The CAMBRIDGE 785 possesses the most advanced MIDI capability in the industry. MIDI
voices are activated on the CAMBRIDGE 785 via eight MIDI pistons. Forinformation on Rodgers
complete MIDI capabilities, please refer to the detailed MIDI Phase III instruction manual available
from your Rodgers Representative.
