programming a specific parameter), you can easily return to the Transposer by pressing the
General Cancel (O) or STOP thumb piston until TRANSPOSER appears in the display.
Turning the Select knob while TRANSPOSER 0 is displayed lowers or raises the pitch of the
organ. Rotating the Select knob clockwise raises the pitch of the organ by semitones; rotating
counter-clockwise lowers the pitch by semitones. Pressing General Cancel returns the
Transposer to O, (no transposition).
Tremulants
Tremulants create a change in pitch (sharp and flat), amplitude (volume) and timbre (tone
quality). The use of the tremulant adds warmth and expressiveness to solo or small ensemble
combinations. It is not common to use tremulants in larger classical ensembles. In some
romantic ensembles, tremulants are used judiciously. In some gospel and evangelical musical
traditions, tremulants with a wider and deeper excursion are frequently used.
There are two types of tremulant controls available on Rodgers organs, divisional tremulants
that affect only the stops in their respective division and general tremulants that affect all
divisions.
If there is a Solo division on the organ, up to four divisional tremulants may used. One each for
the Great, Swell, Choir and Solo; the first three are controlled by a tab or drawknob within each
division, while the Solo tremulant, if applicable, is located on a thumb piston.
Some models also feature up to two additional general tremulants, Main Tremulant II and Flute
Tremulant II. They will be located on thumb pistons labeled MAIN TREM II and FLUTE TREM II.
Both of these tremulants find their best use in gospel, theatre and evangelical music; the Main
tremulant affects Principal, String and Reed voices whereas the Flute tremulant affects Flute
voices. Divisional tremulants can be stored with registrations in both general and
corresponding divisional pistons; general tremulants can only be stored on general pistons.
