TREMULANTS
Tremulants create changes in pitch (sharp and flat) or amplitude (volume). The use of tremulants
adds warmth to solo orsmall ensemble combinations and is useful in gospel and romantic music.
The 550. 580 and 685 have aMAIN TREMULANT that affects all manual voices. The SWELL
FLUTE TREMULANTFULL affects all the flute voices on the Swell manual. It is adeeper and
faster tremulant than the other tremulant. Each independent tremulant is adjustable for both speed
and depth.
It is recommended that these adjustments be made by Authorized Personnel Only.

EXPRESSION PEDAL
(550)
This pedal controls the overall volume of the entire organ. This pedal is used to give variety of
expression to the music played. Pressing the pedal forward increases the volume; drawing back
decreases the volume.
EXPRESSION PEDALS
(580 AND 685)
The pedal on the right controls the overall volume of the Swell division. 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.
GREAT/PEDAL UNENCLOSED
(550)
Many traditional pipe organs are tonally designed with the Great and Pedal divisions
non-expressive. The Great and Pedal divisions are normally expressed with the expression pedal.
If
amore traditional effect is desired by the organist, the GreatlPedal Unenclosed tilt tab allows the
Great and Pedal divisions to play at full volume, while the Swell remains under expression.
GREAT TO SWELL EXPRESSION COUPLER
(580 and 685)
The Great to Swell Expression Coupler allows the Great and Swell divisions to be expressed by
using the right expression pedal.
5

THE BASS COUPLER
This feature's name is derived from the ancient term "Basso Continuo," meaning thoroughbass.
When this tilt tab is pressed, it will light. Any stops orcouplers on in the Pedal division will sound from
the lowest key being played on the Great manual. This provides apedal bass without having to actually
play the pedalboard with the feet.
In its normal setting, the Bass Coupler affects keys I through 24 of the Great manual, butits range
is programmable.
la- HOW TO SET THE RANGE OF THE BASS COUPLER:
I. Hold SET and press the BASS tilt tab, which will start flashing.
2. Release the SET piston and BASS tilt tab.
3. While the BASS tilt tab is flashing, press akey which corresponds to
the highest note the range is to extend. Any note from key Ito key
61 may be selected. Keys above 32 will play external MIDI devices but will
not play the Pedal"stops. After the selected key has been pressed, the BASS
tilt tab 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 aperformance.)
4.
To use the new range, press the BASS tilt tab.

c : :
~

THE MELODY COUPLER
When the MELODY tilt tab is pressed, it will light. Any stop or coupler of the Swell division will
sound from the highest key being played on the Great manual. This allows asolo melody and an
accompaniment to be played from the same manual.
In its normal setting, the Melody Coupler affects keys 25 through
61 on the Great manual, but its
range is programmable.
~ HOW TO SET THE RANGE OF THE MELODY COUPLER:
1. Hold SET and press the MELODY tilt tab, which starts flashing.
2. Release the SET piston and MELODY tilt tab.
3. While the MELODY tilt tab is flashing, press akey which corresponds to
the lowest note the range is to extend. Any note from key 1to key
61 may be
selected. After the selected key has been pressed, the MELODY tilt tab will
stop flashing.
7

TUNING KNOB
The550, 580 and 685 are equipped with aTUNING knob. This allows the entire organ to be
tuned easily and quickly to apiano 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.
TRANS POSER KNOB
Turning the TRANSPOSER knob will raise or lower the pitch of the organ up to four semitones
(half steps). Many singers need akey change to accommodate their voice range. The
TRANSPOSER is especially useful for accompanying soloists, eliminating the need to mentally
transpose music on aprinted sheet into amore suitable key. The TRANSPOSER helps the organist
accomplish this effortlessly.
~ USER I/O PANEL ~
The Rodgers User I/O Panel allows the organist to conveniently make adjustments to the
headphone volume level and reverb level and
to make audio input and output connections from the
front
of the organ. This panel is located under the keydesk on the left side. The following
descriptions detail the controls and their functions.
MIDIIN/OUT/THRU
These are the jacks used to connect to the Rodgers organ to an external sequencer, voice
module, computer
or other external MIDI device or instrument.
AUXILLARY INPUTS (Left and Right)
These are auxiliary audio inputs allowing the organist to connect the audio outputs of aMIDI
voice module, cassette player, compact disc player
or other audio devices to the organ. This allows
the sound
of the audio device to be heard through the organ speakers.
AUXILLARY INPUT LEVEL
This control allows you to increase or decrease the volume level of the external audio device
connected to the Auxiliary Audio Inputs. This is factory set and rarely has to
be changed, but is
provided should the volume level
of the external device need adjustment.
8

AUXILLARY OUTPUTS (Left and Right)
These Auxiliary Audio Outputs may be connected to the audio inputs of an external audio mixer,
amplifier, cassette recorder, DATrecorder
or other external audio device of this type.
REVERB LEVEL
This control adjusts the amount of digital reverberation affecting the organ voices.
HEADPHONE VOLUME AND JACK
The volume level of the headphone set is adjusted by this control.
The 550, 580 and 685 have aHeadphone Jack. When aset of headphones is plugged into the
jack, the speaker system shuts off, allowing the organist privacy when playing. It is recommended
that you use stereo headphones with
an impedance of not less than 8ohms (Q). The Headphone
Jack is designed to run only ONE set
of headphones at atime.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
The Rodgers 550, 580 and 685 possess some of the most advanced MIDI capabilities in the
world. MIDI voices are activated via three MIDI coupler tilt tabs. The MIDI channels these coupler
tilt tabs control are: Great Channel
Swell Channel
Pedal Channel
1*
2
3
MIDI ON GREAT
MIDI
ON SWELL
MIDI ON PEDAL
*May be changed lo any of the sixleen MIDI channels.
To change this channel, see "Channel ReassignmenL"
SENDING APROGRAM CHANGE
1. Hold SET and press the bottom of aMIDI coupler tilt tab. The tilt tab will flash,
indicating the MIDI Set Mode is active. Release SET and the MIDI coupler.
2. Choose the desired Program Change (sound), and press the corresponding key (see the
Program Change chart).
If SET is held while pressing akey to send aProgram Change, the Program Change will be sent,
but the MIDI Set Mode wiII be "locked on." Once this happens, further Program Changes may
be sent by holding SET and pressing acorresponding key. This allows the organist to try several
sound selections until the appropriate one is found. The MIDI Set Mode wiII remain active until
the flashing MIDI coupler or General Cancel is pressed.
Once aProgram Change has been sent on aMIDI coupler, that same Program Change will be
sent each time the tilt tab is activated. The Program Change wiII also be saved on any combination
piston including that MIDI coupler.
VELOCITY INFORMATION
As adefault, the Great and Swell MIDI channels send detected velocity messages. The harder a
key is played, the louder the MIDI sound will be. The Pedal always sends afixed velocity.
It is possible to have the Great or Swell MIDI coupler send afixed velocity message. To change
the Great or SweII MIDI coupler from detected velocity to fixed velocity:
1. Hold SET and press the MIDI coupler to be changed. The coupler will flash. Release
SET and the MIDI coupler.
2. Press the sustain switch (located to the left
of the Great expression pedal) to the left. The
coupler will stop flashing.
10

To change the coupler back to detected velocity, repeat steps 1and 2'under "Velocity
Information."
The velocity status of the Great and Swell MIDI couplers will be stored in the
combination action
of the organ.
CHANNEL REASSIGNMENT
All MIDI couplers transmit on fixed channels except MIDI ON GREAT. To reset the transmit
channel for this coupler only:
1. Hold SET and press the bottom of MIDI ON GT. It will flash. Release SET and MIDI
ONGT.
2. Hold piston I, and press any key on the Great manual between low Cand tenor D# to
signify the desired MIDI channel. Low Cis Channel
l,low C# is Channel 2, etc. The
MIDI ON GT coupler will stop flashing.
The new Great MIDI Channel assignment will be stored in the combination action of the organ.
OCTAVE TRANSPOSE
Normally, all MIDI couplers play at standard pitch (middle C=note 60) .. The Octave Transpose
parameter may be reset to cause any MIDI coupler to play one octave above
or below standard pitch.
1. Hold SET and press the bottom of the desired MIDI coupler. It will flash. Release SET
and the MIDI coupler.
2.
To transpose up one octave, turn the TRANSPOSER knob to +1, +2, +3 or +4.
3.
To transpose down one octave, turn the TRANSPOSER knob to -I, -2, -3 or -4.
4. Exit this mode by pressing General Cancel.
5. Return the TRANS
POSER to the desired setting.
The Octave Transpose status of each MIDI coupler will be stored in the combination action of
the organ.
ENABLING/DISABLING MIDI MASTER CHANNELS
The following MIDI channels are used to control the organ through MIDI:
Great Master Channel 12
Swell Master Channel 13
Pedal Master Channel 14
The organ sends and receives MIDI information on these channels unless they are disabled.
11

It is possible to stop the transmission or reception of MIDI information on these Master
Channels.
To disable reception
of information on aMIDI Master Channel:
1. Hold SET and press the bottom of the MIDI coupler corresponding to the channel to be

LOCAL ON/OFF
The 550, 580 and 685 are equipped with a LOCAL ON/LOCAL OFF control. When the organ is
'set to LOCAL ON, it operates normally.
When the organ is set to
LOCAL OFF, none of the organ stops sound when keys or pedals are
pressed.
MIDI information is, however, generated on activated MIDI Master Channels and MIDI
coupler channels. In addition, movement of the expression pedal generates MIDI volume
information on activated MIDI Master Channels and MIDI Coupler Channels but does not affect the
organ stop volume. An application
for this is when sequencing, the volume of the organ may be
sequenced one way, and the volume
of the MIDI voices another way.
MIDI information received on the MIDI Master Channels will still control the 550,
580 and 685
when the organ is set to
LOCAL OFF.
To set the organ to LOCAL OFF:
1. Hold SET, and press any MIDI coupler. It will flash.
2.
Hold SET, and press and release General Cancel. The General Cancel light will go off,
signifying
LOCAL OFF is activated.
To set the organ to LOCAL ON:
1. Hold SET, and press any MIDI coupler. It will flash.
2. Hold SET, and press and release General Cancel.
The General Cancel light will go on,
signifying
LOCAL ON is activated.
The Local On/Offstatus can be saved in the combination action of the organ.
RETURNING TO DEFAULT SETTINGS
To return to the default settings for Send Channel, DetectedlFixed Velocity, Octave Transpose,
MIDI
Master Send Channel, Primary Receive Channel and Local On/Off:
1. Hold SET.
2. Press General Cancel.
In addition, an All Notes
